Movie Reviews of Thelma & Louise (Special Edition)
Movie Review: "Movies Don't Get Any Better Than This!"
Summary: 5 Stars
1991 was an amazing year for movies; everything from "The Silence of the Lambs" to "The Prince of Tides" entertained audiences, but that year one film became a true classic-a film many regard as one of Hollywood's best-"Thelma and Louise".
Written by Callie Khourie, who recieved an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, "Thelma and Louise" tells the tale of two best friends who go to the mountains for a weekend getaway, but a stop at a roadside bar changes their plans and lives forever. Escaping the police, Thelma and Louise encounter many characters on their cross-country journey, as they head to Mexico and a new life. Heavily regarded as one of the best buddy films ever made, the film is really a woman's picture, telling the story of how women are just as good as men, and how men can be arrogant, pompous, and abusive toward their female counterparts. I love this film.
Brad Pitt had his first mainstream role in this, and both Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis received Oscar nods for their performances.
The DVD is filled with bonuses; there's four documentaries on the movie, audio commentaries with director Ridley Scott, the two stars, and the writer, and the treasure here are 30 minutes of newly discovered deleted scenes found by the studio.
A wonderful comedy/drama, "Thelma and Louise" never ages...it gets better as the years go by. An ageless film in every sense.
Summary of Thelma & Louise (Special Edition)
Directed by action master Ridley Scott (Hannibal, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) from an Oscar(r)-winning* screenplay by Callie Khouri, Thelma & Louise is an "exhilarating" (The Washington Post), full-throttle adventure hailed as one of the best road movies of all time! Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis star as accidental outlaws on a desperate flight across the Southwest after a tragic incident at a roadside bar. With a determined detective (Harvey Keitel) on their trail, a sweet-talking hitchhiker (Brad Pitt) in their path and a string of crimes in their wake, their journey alternates between hilarious, high-speed thrill ride and empowering personal odyssey even as the law closes in. *1991: Original ScreenplayThelma & 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. No matter how you define it, Ridley Scott's 1991 box-office hit pinched a nerve and made the cover of national news magazines for tweaking gender politics like no movie before or since. Callie Khouri's screenplay overhauls the buddy formula with its story about two best friends (Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis) who embark on a liberating adventure that turns into an interstate police chase after a traumatic incident makes both women into fugitives; they are en route to a destiny they could never have imagined. The perfect casting of Sarandon and Davis makes Thelma & Louise a movie for the ages, and Brad Pitt became an overnight star after his appearance as the con-artist cowboy who gives Davis a memorable (but costly) night in a roadside motel. --Jeff Shannon
