One hasn't had time to enjoy the love that just came; the other has
n't started the life she really wanted.
But she walked towards death step by step...
Always remember the moment when Louis raised a gun at Harlan in anger; forever I remember Thelma being so sophisticated when they robbed the store for the first time; I'll always remember the blue convertible they were wearing sunglasses and their hair fluttering, chatting and laughing at the beautiful scenery; I'll always remember them firing on the fuel tanks of downstream drivers Afterwards, the joy of walking away; let alone in the last scene of the movie, Selma and Louis rushed into the canyon and set foot on the road of no return
. Women; maybe, this is not a very unique story, but what it conveys to me is a great shock----I saw two men who challenged and fought against the male society for freedom and dignity, and finally preferred life as the Women who traded for a price. They were desperate, but strong.
They had a similar experience: the humiliation of Selma is obvious in the film, but there is also a silent Louise a few years ago, perhaps even more so. A tragic experience; their personalities were never
quite different, but they quickly merged in three days - all thanks to the men.
Let's take a look at some of the roles the men play in the movie:
The first culprit is naturally Harlan.
If death is a tomb, then Harlan personally pushed Selma and Louis into the door of the tomb.
"I should have done you too!" It was Harlan's rude words that made Louise unable to bear it, and finally shot him.
I still remember what a waitress said when the police were investigating in a bar and club: She had expected Harlan to die in the parking lot, but she didn't expect it so soon.
What followed was pushing them further into the abyss - JD who closed the gates of the tomb, the seemingly polite, excused hitchhiker he met on the way to Mexico. It was he who really caused Selma's Huge change - no longer believe in men.
And the nasty driver who drove a fuel tanker several times on the road can only make these two women more convinced of their views on men.
In the end, they pursued all the way, and finally surrounded them in the Grand Canyon. All the police The only possible way of life in the fog of Thelma and Louise is completely buried...
We turn our attention to a few other men who don't seem to be so villainous - the two policemen: Hal and the imprisoned Unknown cops in their own police car, Selma's husband Daryl, and Louise's boyfriend Jimmy.
Hal seems to be trying to help them from beginning to end, but in the end he can't do anything; the unknown policeman should thank his wife and children; Daryl just yells at Selma; Jimmy doesn't even bother them It's unclear what happened to him... It
should be said that the portrayal of all male characters in the film has certain subjective factors, but it is still a portrayal of the real society. In fact, whether it is Harlan or the driver of the tanker, Louise gives They had the opportunity to ask them to apologize, but these two guys, without exception, were still self-righteous, so one deserved it and the other deserved it.
What I still remember fresh is the friendship between them, which deepened step by step as they escaped.
There is a scene in the film that goes like this: After Selma calls Daryl, Louise and Hal say, "I don't think you're going to get to Mexico, we should talk. I want to help You." The words "Mexico" made Louise's face change immediately, she questioned Thelma, Thelma knew she was wrong again, she told Daryl. "Originally we only had two things in a good position, where we lived and where we were going, but one was gone. Listen, we can't tell anyone anymore, we're outlaws now!" Louise said. "We're going to be outlaws!" Thelma was surprised by her words. Louise was infected by her attitude, and the two hugged emotionally.
It's hard to imagine that the word desperado is actually used to describe these two women who still seem to have tenacious vitality. What they want is only the dignity of women. However, this is doomed to their end. No one can protect them, all they have are sisters. Unequal society and unsound laws make them unable to save themselves after all. Probably it is this kind of relief from life that makes them fearless, so they choose to release them Soul, fly to freedom...
So let our memory stop at this moment: Selma and Louise drive on the highways of the Magnificent West, never stopping...
as they say: let's keep going!
