It's such a story, a series of bad luck. Because of their overreaction, the accelerator generally slid toward this tragedy. The fundamental reason for this may be that they cannot trust the judgment of the world dominated by men, and their trust in men has festered. If feminism contains an element of self-liberation, they don't even have the freedom to choose. Please listen to them, every step of the way, the protagonist thinks, "I can't go back anymore. I am forced to do this." The decadence and determination contained in this are such a sense of helplessness at the end of the road.
I actually like Selma a lot. It's also a little silly, and has no scheming with strangers, and is a little crazy and neurotic. She has caused the most trouble. I am most familiar with her temperament. Regardless of armed robbery, locking the state trooper in the trunk is more of a game to the innocent-looking her. Thrill-seeking, fun, and she does it without thinking about the outcome. Why isn't armed robbery fun? Wearing a tight leather jacket and holding a gun in one hand, he said elegantly: "Good morning, this is a robbery. Don't be impulsive, don't mess around...Miss, get down, sir, don't move. Let's see who wins the Best Calm Award. Mr. , you take the money out of the drawer and put it in the paper bag. This story will be wonderful to tell friends, or you'll be in the morgue, it's up to you... er, a few bottles of the bar too. Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for your cooperation. Stay on the ground until I'm gone, have a nice day!"
Impulse is the devil, and the most pertinent advice for people like Thelma (including me). Life has its own punishment mechanism for impulsiveness and imprudence. Perhaps she suddenly broke out as a housewife for many years. In fact, she is still suitable for being at home, not face-to-face with the dangers of this world. At least before she comes out, she should learn that this world cannot be played casually, some things can be played, and some things, you may not be able to face the results after playing.
Later, they carried the desperate and turbulent road of escape. Even if they raised their guns to blow up the fuel truck, they were still two slender female figures under their heroic and heroic appearance. It's hard to say if they've grown up because of these events along the way. The road to escape is just the road to escape, not necessarily the road to inner strength, nor the road to self-liberation.
The finale is totally aesthetic. Since there is no choice, you have to rationalize the choice and find some excuses for "the journey is not bad". In fact, let them choose again, they may not insist. At that point, crashing off a cliff is no harder than turning back and facing a swarm of cops. All it takes to go further is a little more impulsiveness, and a step back requires too much sobriety and courage.
About this ending. The director is a woman. The ending also oozes that kind of purely feminine aesthetic and imagination. In a society that is bound to become weak, women may only be able to solve the problem by stepping on shit and thinking of how to make it look better. The suppressed imagination and poetic sentiments have been released, but perhaps the most terrible thing in the beginning is this suppressed imagination?
Perhaps, the road to self-salvation is to find a way to release this imagination and poetic feeling.
