Friendship between Women-Revisiting "The End of the Wild Flower"

Compared to family and friendship, I pay more attention to friendship between the same sex. Family affection has no choice, but the opposite sex has a biological attraction. Only friendship is the real acquired thing. People who pay attention to the same temperament. I long for an unbreakable friendship in this world, and I long for a group of girlfriends who share similar interests, perhaps even more than longing for love. So, when I saw "The End of the Wild Flower", um, I would prefer to translate its title into their name "Thelma & Louise". I don't know how to describe that feeling, it's like being in a sea of ​​people. , You suddenly find that the goddess you have fantasized about thousands of times in your mind appears in front of you exactly.
The two women, each with their own opportunities, became friends. One day, with epilepsy, they decided to temporarily get rid of the mediocre and boring life and take a short trip. The two women are probably ready to release their depressed mood, so in the tavern, the two people smoke, drink strong alcohol, and dance hot dances. Their swagger is simple, just a kind of self-release, but in some men It became coquettish in his eyes, so Thelma resolutely shot and killed the brazen man, causing the two women to lose their way.
Faced with this sudden change, the two women were so frightened and at a loss. Thelma said how can we surrender and who believes in us. She told Louise with a startled tone and a bewildered gesture, let's find a small hotel for a drink, and you let me think about what we should do. I don't want to just tell stories, I just say that this kind of friendship is really envious.
Most women face life and death, let alone life and death, when they are making choices about family, friendship, and love, they always abandon friendship first without hesitation. These two women also had a lot of quarrels along the way, but they never thought of planning alone. But when Louise called her lover to ask for money, she came out carrying Thelma with a big suitcase. It was a bit tricky. I think the director had this intention. Women would definitely think of fleeing in the face of crisis, and so did Thelma. But another scene told me that she was actually wearing a bikini basking in the sun. She was absent-minded and frightened, but she still had a kind of anxiety and calmness. She did not forget to wear sunglasses and listen to music when she was basking in the sun. This is a woman, the best woman in my ideals to be friends.
There is also a plot point. When Louise was talking to the police officer on the phone, Thelma suddenly felt a bad feeling and hung up Louise. She asks if you are planning for yourself. What she thinks is that Louise has at least one boyfriend who loves her deeply, but she has nothing and no way out. We can't help but say that this is really human being's defensive heart, but these two women will treat each other frankly, believing each other at all times when they are suspicious. Speak out, not because of suspicion, you have a defensive heart; defense is dirt, which completely insulates the electricity of friendship.
In the early stage of the escape, Louise was the leader of the two. Her experience gave her more skill and determination. Thelma, like more unexperienced girls, temporarily forgot her escape status for a beautiful man. It seems that girls are all in this way, no matter what happens, they can't stop them from appreciating and pursuing beauty.
Thelma asked Louise, at least you still have a boyfriend who loves you so much, Louise said that he is not for choice. Yes, love should not be a retreat, a choice, but it should be there. Every feeling should be responsible, and friendship and love can't be compared after making a choice. Even if she was heartbroken, when something else happened, she accepted the other party's proposal ring, but she still had to leave without hesitation and went over there. There was no choice between the two. In a sense, Louise has the demeanor of a chivalrous woman in my mind. Such people transcend the gender boundary between men and women. They are both sexy and strong.
Louise takes love to take responsibility for another love. She thinks it will always end. In the process, her nightmare will also disappear. One day she will reappear next to her lover, accept his kiss, and accept it. His ring. But she didn't expect that she went on a path of no return. When that sexy man stole all her savings through Thelma, and even her boyfriend's love, she collapsed completely and her strength collapsed. And at that moment, Thelma seemed to be reborn. There is always someone to be strong and women to be able to bear it. For a long time, Louise did not get rid of the negative emotions. The relationship between the two people was reversed. Thelma became Louise's support. A concocted convenience store robbery and the hijacking of the police. Thelma did it in an orderly manner. I laughed at myself, as if I was born with this. Yeah, where did that pure and ignorant little woman go? What made these two women be like men.
Perhaps only in an agitated environment can arouse most of the sleepy parts of people’s lives. In the subsequent escape, they laughed from the heart alone and told us that they have no regrets, and even a certain degree of freedom should be brought to the limit. The comfort of coming, no, it’s the experience of all the beauty on the extreme escape road. The scenery that is constantly receding in the rear mirror is so beautiful. The clouds in the sky also have a different meaning. All of this, because there is It seems precious after the predetermined deadline. But these are retired and absent in a balanced and harmonious environment. Just like human nature needs to be discovered, true life is under the iceberg, and so is friendship. In adversity and sharing, I think Thelma & Louise should experience a feeling of mutual bondage and life connectedness that has never been seen before. This is the highest emotion, and it is also ordinary. The scarcest emotion in your life.
Give me freedom or give me death. No one apologizes for the insults imposed on them. They also know that it is impossible to ask a man to apologize like a man asks a woman. Proud and self-righteous men will not. Those men will only abuse them twice, so they have to happily. Punishment, with their only means, when the truck exploded, watching the lewd man yelling in pain in the dust, they walked away triumphantly, at least at the moment, they were really superior, and they really took a breath of malice. , Even if this is the last madness.
They used their lives to make a final comment for freedom, for friendship, and for the doubt and confrontation of the male world. They smiled beyond everything, beyond the entire male world. Looking at their smiles, I sincerely envy and sincerely bless this friendship that is beyond expectation.
