Summary: I wanna ride with that Thunderbird...
Review: Alien made the director Ridley Scott famous, Blade Runner made him the king of adult science fiction. Thelma & Louise made him a bloody genious. No one else didn't want to do this movie expect Scott! They didn't think there could be enough potential in a story about two women and a thunderbird. That is really interesting. Ridley Scott took the challenge and has done a wonderful work. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon are both perfect in their roles. The silent changing of these two characters is done smootly in the film without underlining. You really start to feel what they feel as the movie goes on. There is no doubt that they are good guys, even then when they rob that store and when they blow up that perverts truck. Harvey Keitel as a honest policeman makes a great role also. Brad Pitt was annoying at first but what the hell, he IS the character he is playing. I hate the fact that some people dislike this film because there are women in the mainroles, and men are left to the background. I think that is just the power of this movie. Geena&Susan are doing their roles with a good taste, as well as the whole film.Scott is the master of visuals. Movie looks very good, every frame is planned. The plot is kinda simple but Scott makes it work. He is not making it too emotional or too artistic. It is a real fine mix of entertainment and serious filmaking. Music plays also an important role in this film. It is full of positive songs, and Hans Zimmers original score with slide guitar is stunning. After you have seen Thelma&Louise you just want to feel that freedom and that road by yourself. No other roadmovie before this haven't painted the landscapes and the enthustiasm of driving and getting away so well. This is a dramatic story about finding yourself and finding that true meaning of frienship that is eventually all that counts. I'm sorry but I can't think anything bad about Thelma&Louise. It gets better every time you watch it...that is a promise! DVD was a good experience, the original widescreen ratio makes the movie to look suberb. There is also lots of special stuff on the DVD. For example Scotts commentary track and alternative ending.

Summary: Demonstrates every element of a cinematic masterpiece
Review: Thelma & Louise: , Ridley Scott's great direction of Callie Khouri's flawless scriptof and a fine cast, splendid photography, music that was right on the mark in every scene. This is what great movie making is all about, and this one was my idea of superb entertainment. Not one scene was off a scintilla. The actors' every facial and physical expressions brought forth the emotion called for by every last scene, voice intonations were perfect. When Louise cautioned Thelma against being so open, Thelma's response, after revealing her inner pain with expression, was simply, "Right!" with an emphatic little nod of her head. A tiny snippet, but like every other part of the movie it was precisely right. When a look would do, there was no dialog. We got it. After at least eight screenings I can't point to a single flaw, not even a weak point. Such passing characters as Harlan Puckett and the waitress at the Silver Bullet were perfect, both in casting and execution. "Come on, Hal, not even a teeny, weeny, weeny little drink?" She was a jewel. Leonard Maltin's parting comment about it being another road movie was imbecilic. Thelma & Louise was anything but a "road movie." It just happened that much of it occurred on the road -- where else for two girls on the run? Thelma & Louise has taken a slight edge off some of my old favorites.

Summary: Completely Amazing Movie!
Review: I absolutely LOVED this movie! I have had people refer to this movie as a "chick flick", but I totally disagree. It's simply the story of two friends that do what they have to do to survive. They are there for each other until the very end. If everyone has just one friend that they love enough to risk their life for like these two women did, they should consider themselves TRULY blessed.

Summary: Not just for women. A masterpiece of film.
Review: Thelma & Loise is truly one of the best movies ever made. There's one thing though. It's not just for women. Men can enjoy this beautiful film and it's meanings as well. A great movie that provokes powerful emotions from within. Superb!

Summary: BLAH ON THE DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY ON THE DVD
Review: Truly a masterpiece and I'm so glad it's on DVD. However, I found that Scott Ridley's commentary spoke about just everything but the picture. His early life, trials and tribulations, how to get a film previewed, how much it costs, etc. I guess some of you find this interesting (see a comment below) but when we are fortunate to get a director to do a DVD commentary, I think he or she should at least talk about what we're watching and not the philosophy of movie making. There are so many things I'd like to know about that went into the making of this classic film.

Summary: Feminist drama in spectacular settings.
Review: As a lover of the Southwestern deserts, I find this movie extremely appealing. The film is a winner just for its artistic merits. Ridley Scott knew how to put together the music, the mood, the pace, and the setting. Recall the curious matron at the bus stop gazing at Louise in her convertible while she waits for Thelma, who incidentally was robbing the store---that camera motion, the light, the music matching the naive curiosity, and the incongruous presence of Louise in the T'bird. And then, the aimless driving in the moonlight surrounded by the rock monuments of Arches National Park, and Louise's contemplating their fate amid such beautiful surroundings at the crack of dawn---indeed a powerful scene evoking the experiences of awe some of us have had when in the midst of these humbling desert vastness. What could she be thinking that kept her awake, while her less mature soulmate was fast asleep in the car? Even more powerful was the scene when they flee the chaos of countless police cars chasing them in the field, and finding themselves in the yawning rock wilderness of Canyonlands National Park. The ominous silence, a minimum of background music that builds up slowly to the portent of the helicopter hovering, but still hidden, alongside them above the Colorado River, and then suddenly emerging face-to-face, much to their desperation, or so we think. The director knew the magic of the desert and canyon wilderness and used it to maximum advantage as spectacular backdrop to the concluding and climactic part of this gem of a movie.

Summary: Pretty interesting movie
Review: I really liked Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in this movie, plus the added bonus was the limited appearances of Brad Pitt in this movie (which by the way was the only reason why I watched this movie in the first place--because I ADORE Brad Pitt) The plot was pretty good and interesting and the ending was kind of sad, but one of the best endings anyone could have thought of. People, if you haven't watched this movie, rent it out or buy it right here on Amazon.com

Summary: It sticks with you for days, weeks, months, years...
Review: Yes, I had a hard time jogging this flic from my mind. The message it gives off is so inspiring, so empowering... and because it's given by two female lead characters, it's been termed a feminist movie. Sure, there was sex, margaritas and wild turkeys straight up. There was armed robbery, the murder of a would be rapist, and the shooting up of a large semi driven by a horny truck driver. But hey, these girls never backed down. They never gave up. Submissive... they were anything but. No wonder if caused such a fiasco. Jerry Falwall would've rolled over in his grave if he wasn't alive when this movie came out. Ha ha. Thelma and Louise is a classic. Sarandon and Davis are out of this world. Pitt has a chest to die for. And the music is wonderful. I have a convertible, and I love it because it makes me feel like Louise. It's just a great movie.
