Magnificence blooming at the end of life

People will change.
The barmaid, who thinks she is deeply human, said: They are definitely not the kind of people who can kill. But they really killed.
Looking at the video of the wife who was sorry for talking loudly in the early morning, and the sophisticated robbery at the gas station, the man only had an unbelievable face and
two otherwise ordinary women, who just wanted to spend a leisure time fishing and sleeping. On the weekend, I finally embarked on the road of no return to murder and escape.

This is a theme I like: how a series of accidents in life changed people's destiny.

The accidental end of the wild flower can be summarized as the three men encountered by the two women along the way: the
first man: the bartender, who seduced Thelma on the dance floor, then deceived him into the parking lot and wanted to commit a crime, and was stopped by Louise with a gun. Later, not only did he not know how to repent, he also spoke rudely and asked himself for a gun. As another waitress said, she thought he would be beaten to death in the parking lot one day, and his wife probably regretted not breaking him by herself. This person can be said to be dead, but his death has also become the end of their vacation plan and the starting point for their escape.
The second male: Brad Pitt's little hairy thief, seduce Thelma and stole their escape fund-Louise accumulated $6,600 in his life, which caused them to be legally extenuated from defensive mistakes and turned into real The spontaneous crime: Robbery with a gun. The
third man: WS's oil tank truck driver, appeared in their field of vision from time to time like a lingering ghost along the way, and always liked to do very WS actions. In the end, the two of them couldn’t bear it. They severely criticized and educated the wretched man. Seeing that the man had no intention of repentance, he simply did nothing and completely scrapped his big truck and staged a tanker explosion. It was absolutely popular. Scene. It was this move that made them both upgraded to extremely dangerous wanted characters. In the end, it is difficult to look back.

These three men represent the three most annoying men for women: the first one is savage and rude, and looks the most. Damn it; the second type is a liar with rhetoric (actually it was he who defrauded their only property that caused the two of them to go from self-defense to crime); the third type, there is no courage to do or deceive, but like a blow fly The same buzzing around the transferor is disgusting.

In the end, in the pursuit of countless police cars, Thelma told Louise that it was all my fault. Louise said, by this time you should understand that this is not our fault. Can't help thinking, whose fault is this? Let these two ordinary women become such "extremely evil" female fugitives?

The changes they made on the road are quite intriguing. Louise, a somewhat pungent waitress, loves and hates clearly, dare to act; it was she who stood up when Thelma was about to be raped and killed the man. In the beginning, she always encouraged Thelma and gave her courage. Thelma, a housewife who married at the age of 18, hated her husband but didn't have the courage to leave. She didn't even dare to say that she would spend two days off with her friends. When I first went out, I looked like a bird out of the cage, completely indulging. After Louise killed someone for her, she was hesitated and lost. In the first half of this period, Louise was clearly in a strong position, whether it was the kind of energy she had when she packed up and set off, or the escape plan that she calmed down and arranged for herself after the murder; while Thelma had always been only stubborn and indifferent. It can also be considered that it is she who innocently believes in the bartender and does not know the depth of indulgence that leads to the bloody of the parking lot. The turning point came after Louise's boyfriend Jimmy had traveled all the way to give Louise money and suddenly proposed to her, and after the passionate night of Thelma and Brad next door. Painfully and helplessly rejected the man who loved her, and after discovering that all her savings had been stolen the next day, Louise, who had always been calm and sensible, collapsed. She lost the strength to blame Thelma and sat weakly at the foot of the bed. Weeping bitterly; and Thelma, after yelling a few s***, f***, cheered up, dragged Louise onto the road again, and carried out their first time proactively and professionally. It was also the only robbery.

Why is there such a role exchange? The arrival of Jimmy softened Louise's heart? Brad's deception completely shattered Thelma's last hope for a man? In short, Thelma became stronger afterwards. At the last moment, when she fell into the siege at the Grand Canyon, it was she who said to Louise, Keep going. The two looked at each other and smiled, clenched their hands, and drove to the gorge in speed, frozen in the empty world under the blue sky. . . .

One of Louise's mystery was not solved in the end: What happened in Texas? Make her unwilling to even drive through Texas. Was the past that she never mentioned was the reason that made her so strong and decisive? In the end, this question mark was not answered positively. However, it can be seen from the dialogue and plot development that the trauma brought to her by that experience was huge. Perhaps it was a similar experience that made her stand up to Thelma's predicament and beat the one to death. Shameless and rude man.

What does the detective responsible for tracking them represent? He targeted them at the beginning, entered Louise's room to check traces of her life, and stationed in Thelma's house to monitor the phone for 24 hours. After catching Brad, he did everything possible to let him speak to know their information, and threatened Brad-what they did was counted as Brad's responsibility. At the last minute, he tried to protect them from other policemen shooting, and even resolutely chased their car. This image exists to show that there are good men who sympathize with women and protect women in patriarchal society? Regardless of the screenwriter's intentions, the final image was still weak. He could not persuade the police not to shoot, and even the superiors who took him to the hunting scene thought him in the way. Thinking from another cruel angle, it was precisely because of his hard work to find T&L that he wanted to redeem T&L, which caused them to fall into the final siege. Sad...

Some people see T&L as a feminist movie, or even a Les movie. I am totally too lazy to talk about the latter. Feminist? Maybe. Two ordinary women challenged the rules of the patriarchal society. They shot and killed people, they robbed a small shop, they scared the police into tears and locked them in the trunk, and they severely taught the rogue drivers. . . However, behind this scenery is helplessness that is difficult to talk about. Behind almost every move, some men are maliciously pushing. Well, don't think of the world as a war between men and women. In the end, the two of them leaped out of the cliff by car. Some people said that it meant that they finally liberated from the oppression of patriarchy. Others said that their death represented the ultimate failure of women in fighting against the patriarchal society. Oh, how tired fighting is. In my opinion, they have found the freedom that belongs to them, and they have completed the blooming at the end of their lives splendidly, which is enough. Thelma and Louise, keep going!

    Even without the avant-garde theme and its historical status it still deserves five stars. The characters are enriched through layers of stories. The flaw is that the problem with Texas was not solved happily in the end, and the slightly redundant police officer. Rather than making a sad and happy judgment, the last leap is a question of whether the feminist movement and human freedom can finally leap over the canyon. It would be too easy if more people watched this and "Marina" with a little more gender science.

    Scott can't be a feminist at all. In films like The End of the Road, desperate women still need men to make a formal unsuccessful rescue. In fact, Thelma and Louis are just expressing a kind of Catharsis rather than awakening, the point is that any catharsis will inevitably lead to destruction, so the outcome can be imagined. The approximation of the story is absolutely masterful, and Scott's understanding of genres is one of the best in Hollywood today.
