	Thelma and Louise (1991)
		Darryl: (1) In the opening scene in which Thelma is working up the courage to ask Darryl for permission to take the weekend trip with Louise, she stalls first by asking if he’d like “anything special” for dinner.
		Harlan: His pick-up lines to Thelma in the Silver Bullet club are so juvenile and sexist—“Now what are a couple of Kewpie dolls like you doing in a place like this?” and “It’s hard not to notice two such pretty ladies as yourself”—that Harlan is depicted as comical.
		Thelma and Louise deny a major patriarchal myth when they reject the notion that the only way a woman can live “happily ever after” is with the right man. Thelma and Louise mock sexism and resist patriarchal control over their lives.

	Thelma and Louise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In the controversial film, Thelma and Louise, directed by Ridley Scott, two women learn the true meaning of friendship, and struggle to live in a society where they are "useless" and fight back against the world by rejecting the societal structure, and living free.
		Louise knew he was trouble from the start, but Thelma liked him, and she couldn’t keep her mouth shut, and JD got away with everything but the police caught up with him too and he got it.
		Louise knows she was wrong, she wishes she went to the police in the beginning, but it was too late they had made a decision that affected their life, and they couldn’t fix what they did now in the end.

	Thelma and Louise mistakes, goofs and bloopers
		Revealing: Thelma and Louise in one scene are driving at a very high speed with Brad Pitt in the backseat wearing a cowboy hat that never flies off, much less even moves with the wind.
		Continuity: When Thelma and Louise are chased by the police across the dusty plains there's a aerial shot from behind where the ground is covered with tracks.
		Later the policeman sticks his finger through a hole to point out to the bicyclist where Louise had thrown the keys (surprisingly he could tell from the rather feeble sound what that sound was and where the keys had landed), and the rim of the hole shows that the bullet was shot from inside.

	Thelma and Louise in the Wilderness
		Thelma and Louise, in their sojourn, follow this pattern perfectly, and they do it in exactly that locale which was the site of such transformations from the Old Testament to the sermons of Jonathan Edwards to the texts of the American Renaissance, in the desert wilderness.
		When Louise stands with her eyes wide open and sees the dawn, she sees the reality outside of herself, just as Jonathan Edwards had said sinners become awakened in the wilderness to the greater reality outside of the finite texts of the self.
		In the end, Thelma and Louise are forced to choose between absolute Egyptian structure, jail, or the mystic freedom of release from the body.

		Louise is heading towards the bathroom, where there is a line of at least fifteen women in front of her.
		Louise is completely unreasonable on this subject and Thelma is totally puzzled by Louise's reaction but is reluctant to press her further.
		LOUISE (shaking her head) I don't think I wanna hear what you're gonna tell me. Thelma is just about to shriek when the Waitress comes over and puts a coffee cup on the table and pours some.

	THELMA & LOUISE
		THELMA AND LOUISE is one of those films that sparks great emotion from both sides of the gender fence.
		Louise (Sarandon), an unhappy waitress, and her best friend Thelma (Davis), an unloved housewife, decide to go away for the weekend to relax and getaway from their everyday lives.
		The main problem Louise has throughout this entire film is the fact that her best friend is a complete, trusting idiot when it comes to men.

	National Review: Thelma and Louise. - book reviews
		Louise (Susan Sarandon) is a waitress in an Arkansas eatery.
		Her good friend Thelma (Geena Davis) is married to Darryl, a domineering and patronizing narcissist, who treats her as a backward child-a treatment, it must be said, not entirely unearned.
		Louise, needing a change, proposes a weekend trip to the mountains in her 1966 Thunderbird convertible, and Thelma, though afraid to ask Darryl for permission, accepts after some hesitation anyway.

	‘Thelma & Louise’ (R)
		Thelma (Davis) is a bored housewife with a sexist carpet salesman husband, and Louise (Sarandon) is an overworked waitress with a boyfriend who can't commit.
		That's not to say that Thelma and Louise are male-bashers or that the movie is a load of spiteful feminism.
		When their journey begins, Louise is the organized one in charge of getting them there and Thelma is the scatterbrain who gets them into trouble when she insists on stopping for a drink at a roadside honky-tonk.

		The film follows the women as they head out in Louise's 1966 Thunderbird for a two-day adventure which starts horribly but then sees them change from victims of circumstance into icons of feminism.

	Thelma & Louise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Hailed by critics as a feminist manifesto for the 90s, Ridley Scott's Thelma and Louise is a genuine most-see, for its breathless, epic realisation of a smart, funny script and bravura performances from its wonderful leading ladies, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davies.
		When Geena Davis' bullied housewife Thelma and Susan Sarandon's worn waitress Louise sneak off for a quiet weekend break from their many cares (synonymous with their men), a drunken, foul-mouthed, would-be rapist in the car park of a honkytook sparks Louise's pent-up rage and memories of past abuses.
		When Thelma and Louise are indelibly freeze-framed, pedal to the metal in their crazy act of defiance, they are holding hands.

	"Thelma and Louise" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Louise (Susan Sarandon) is going on a weekend fishing vacation, and she persuades Thelma (Geena Davis) to disobey her husband and come along.
		When Thelma flirts with a bar patron and he tries to rape her, Louise pulls a gun and rescues her friend; but in the process, she uses excessive force.
		Thelma is trapped by a boorish husband who takes her for granted, and Louise is haunted by an act of violence visited upon her by a man. The film speaks about how women (especially independent ones) are often put down in this world by men who do not appreciate them.

	Thelma and Louise
		Louise (Sarandon), a coffee-shop waitress, and her best friend Thelma (Davis), a housewife bullied by her lout of a husband, Darryl (Christopher McDonald), take off for a few days together at a friend's cabin.
		In the depiction of four other crucial male characters, however, (Thelma and Louise are virtually the only women in the movie, except for a few waitresses) the movie is more successfully complex.
		J.D. (Brad Pitt), a sweet-talking, seductive young hitchhiker to whom Thelma takes a shine is the ideal blend of golden boy and con man. Harlan (Timothy Carhart), a good ol' boy pick-up artist who comes on to Thelma at a truck stop saloon, changes from charming to threatening with terrifying suddenness.

		Thelma & Louise is a feminist manifesto writ large on the big screen, a smart and funny gender reversal of the standard Hollywood buddy formula, a road movie extraordinaire, with characters who became instant cultural icons.
		Thelma & Louise is one of those unfortunately all too rare movie gems which really engages the viewer.
		Thelma & Louise is often classified as a 'chick flick', but this is perhaps somewhat misleading.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Thelma & Louise: Special Edition
		Ridley Scott's Thelma and Louise is a hugely fun ride, an exquisitely filmed road adventure about two women increasingly embittered by their roles within a male-centric universe.
		Thelma and Louise gradually become bad-ass grrrls tearing up a new frontier, sliding inexorably into petty crime and cynicism.
		Even the sly J.D. gives Thelma the time of her life between the sheets—although he does, with one nasty pilfer, provide one of the film's major turning points.

		Thelma worries that Louise is considering a deal with the police, although Louise assures her she is not.
		Louise's doubts may also be occasioned by the fact that her boyfriend, Jimmy, has demonstrated love and compassion for her.
		Thelma has finally grown away from husband Darryl's nasty influence and has come to the conclusion that Louise is right; "he is an asshole." Surrendering now will subject her to the abuse not only of the legal system, but also of her husband.
