Hi! Previously seen as a part of my Masters course, I recently again saw this movie namely Thelma and Louise in Zee Studio. Featuring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, this movie belonged to the Genre of ’Road Movie’. A tragic tale of two friends named Thelma(Geena Davis) and Louise(Susan Sarandon), this movie was one of the few movies in hollywood in the genre of Road movies to feature Female protagonists.The film was released on May 24, 1991. The film shares plot line and visual elements with other road movies, particularly the 1979 movie Messidor by Alain Tanner. **STORY** Thelma is a housewife tired and disgusted by dominating husband Darryl, to top it all Darryl hates Louise, one real good friend Thelma has, because he thinks that she might plant seeds of rebellion in Thelma. Despite this, both friends head to a two day vacation in Louise’s 1966 Thunderbird covertible, which in due course turns out to be a nightmare, after Louise accidentally kills a man at the bar who wanted to force himself sexually over Thelma.

From thereon they flee and Louise, who is a bar waitress, asks financial help from boyfriend Jimmy, played by Christopher Mc Donald, who withdraws her life savings and gives it to her. Precious money, Thelma looses it after having been fallen into the trap of J.D(Brad Pitt), a handsome hitchhiker and thief. During their time together JD gives Thelma tips on how he conducted his hold-ups. Meanwhile, Jimmy asks Louise to marry him, and she refuses, as well as refusing to tell him what’s wrong. They spend the night together, and then he leaves. Realisation that they have lost all money, Louise is frozen with fear and Thelma by guilt.

Thelma then takes lead and conducts some robberies in the same way JD narrated his hold ups. The fearful ladies now become bold and love challenges.Thereafter they lock up a policeman in his own car’s trunk and take along his revolver. Another incident that occurs is that a truck driver is repeatedly making obscene comments and gestures towards them. When they demand an apology from him, he denies and they blow out his tanker truck. In the end the two ladies are cornered at the Grand Canyon by the police, who was on their tail since the murder they committed. Both friends share a moment of affection and go ahead towards the Canyon and commit suicide, because they thought it was better than getting caught atleast and living the rest of their lives pathetically. A vacation that was supposed to be a fun filled one, ends up in two catastrophic deaths. **Road movies - the Genre**Road movies were a cinematic genre in which the story is portrayed during a road journey where the vehicle plays an important role, providing means to escape from something and the road providing them the path.These movies occured post second world war era reflecting the boom of America’s automobility and youth culture. It reflects the cultural psychosis showing that the road is a passage to which a beginning is possible, free from the bounds of past.**What to watch out for in the movie?** --->Excellent acting skills portrayed by the two female protagonists. --->Brad pitt looking young and dashing and quite funnily a little thin. --->Thelma requesting Louise to give JD a lift, in her own sweet funny way. --->Good dialogue delivery, especially in the scene with the truck driver, hilarious scene! --->Their sad Death.
