Thelma & Louise (Special Edition)

Summary: This movie ages beautifully! Kicks Ass!
Review: A little confused...what I purchased doesn't include all those special features listed in the item descripton, but it DOES have the two audio commentary tracks, deleted scenes and alternate ending with commentary. Just those are enough to make viewing THELMA AND LOUISE again a worthwhile experience.

A great film, contrary to some perceptions that it is "male bashing." The commentary tracks with the actresses is chatty and fun, in spite of the incongruous presence of screenwriter/producer Khouri (she should have been on the track with the Director. Putting her with the actress diminishes it into more of a mere "chick flick," which it is NOT).

Scott's commentary is intelligent, articulate, honest and enlightening. He is in top form and reveals a lot of insight into this almost-perfect film...so many elements, casting-soundtrack-cinematography-screenplay-direction-even luck!--come together to create2 hours 9 minutes of pure enjoyment!

Summary: Remarkable Movie With Too Much Violence
Review: A Weekend of fun turns into a death spiral for two women due to just one twist of fate. Thelma meets the wrong man while intoxicated on the first day of the weekend gateaway and everything spins out of control for her and her friend, Louise. The movie is full of adventure as the two women try to escape the fast-moving events that surround them.

Summary: Women's road movie
Review: Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) are two good friends who become fugitives from the law, their lives, and the male-dominated world that oppresses them. The film succeeds as much as it does due to fine direction by Ridley Scott, a lively screenplay by Callie Khouri, and top-notch performances by Sarandon and Davis. Somehow, though, these elements didn't gel into a completely satisfying movie experience for me. There were too many missteps such as the troglodyte truck driver who seems unable to do anything more than grunt and spew obscenities. It can be seen as a statement of female empowerment, but it accomplishes this by placing its male characters on a spectrum with impotence at one extreme and brutishness on the other.

Summary: TORI AMOS LOVED IT TOO
Review: Excellent movie, featuring star-turns from Davis and Sarandon respectively.

An updating of the classic road movie "Bonnie & Clyde", this is one for the feminist era.

My favourite singer Tori Amos was inspired to talk about her own personal experiences after watching the intense rape scene.

A fantastic movie, with the two female leads in fine form, and the men kept in the background.

The recent DVD edition is a delight: Despite only one disc, it contains the following:

2 commentaries (including Davis & Sarandon) several deleted scenes a few features etc.

Recommended.
