Thelma And Louise - Special Edtion

Thelma Dickinson (Geena Davis) is a passive, goofy housewife, married to a controlling husband, Darryl (Christopher McDonald). Louise Sawyer (Susan Sarandon) is a single waitress who appears strong, organized and stern, with some unspecified trauma in her past. The two friends head out in Louise’s teal 1966 Thunderbird convertible for a two-day vacation of fishing in the mountains that quickly turns into a nightmarish situation before they even reach their destination, but which sees them change from victims of circumstance into outlaw heroines of the road. They stop for a drink at the Silver Bullet, a roadside cowboy bar and dancehall, where Thelma meets a man called Harlan Puckett (Timothy Carhart), with whom she dances. She gets drunk and the man attempts to rape her in the parking lot. Louise finds them and threatens to shoot Harlan if he doesn’t stop, using a gun Thelma brought with her. Harlan stops, but as the women walk away, he yells profanity and insults at them. Louise loses her temper and shoots Harlan, killing him. Thelma wants to go to the police right away, but Louise says that because Thelma was drunk and had been dancing with Harlan, no one will believe he was trying to rape her. Afraid that the authorities will prosecute her, Louise decides to run away, and Thelma accompanies her. Louise is determined to reach Mexico but refuses to go through Texas, despite the fact that they are in Oklahoma and the fastest route to Mexico leads through Texas. It is revealed that something bad happened to Louise in Texas years earlier, though Louise refuses to say exactly what it was, but it makes her terrified to be arrested in Texas. They flee west and on the way they meet a handsome, charming young man, J.D. (Brad Pitt), whom Thelma immediately likes. She convinces Louise to let him hitch a ride with them. Louise, meanwhile, contacts her boyfriend Jimmy Lennox (Michael Madsen) and asks him to send her her life savings via Western Union. When she goes to pick it up, she discovers that Jimmy has come to see her in person. They go to talk in his room while Thelma guards the money. Thelma invites J.D. into her room; it turns out that he is a robber who has broken his parole. He and Thelma become intimate, and Thelma experiences a sexual awakening. During their time together, J.D. describes how he conducted his hold-ups. Meanwhile, Jimmy asks Louise to marry him, and she refuses, as well as refusing to tell him what is going on. They spend the night together. In the morning after he has left, Thelma tells Louise about her night with J.D. Suddenly Louise asks where J.D. is, and they find that both J.D. and the money are gone. Louise is distraught and has become frozen with indecision, so a guilty Thelma steps up and takes charge. Meanwhile, the FBI has been tracking them, and after separately questioning J.D., Jimmy, and Darryl, begin putting the pieces together and are getting closer to catching the fugitives. Detective Hal Slocumb (Harvey Keitel) discovers the event that Louise experienced in Texas that has made her so terrified of being taken into police custody, and he expresses sympathy for her predicament and pledges to protect her. During a couple of brief phone conversations, Slocumb appears to genuinely be concerned about helping Louise, yet he is unsuccessful in his attempts to persuade her to surrender. View of the Colorado River and Dead Horse Point, the location of filming of the last scene Their actions continue to spiral out of control as the two of them make their way across the country, while Thelma sheds her giggly, goofy personality for a focused, aggressive, hard-drinking one. While Louise waits in the car, Thelma, in an attempt to make up for some of the money J.D. stole, makes use of what he taught her to rob a convenience store. When a policeman (Jason Beghe) stops them for speeding, Thelma threatens the policeman with her gun, steals his gun, and locks him in the trunk of his cruiser. (In a later comic interlude, he is freed by a mountain-biking Rastafarian (Noel L. Walcott III).) They encounter a truck driver (Marco St. John) who repeatedly makes obscene sexual gestures at them on the road. They pull over to demand an apology from him, but when he refuses, they fire their pistols at the truck’s fuel tank, causing it to explode. Thelma and Louise are finally cornered by police only about 100 yards from the edge of the Grand Canyon. Detective Slocumb arrives on the scene and protests that the law enforcement response is too heavy, but he is refused the chance to make one last attempt to talk the women into surrendering themselves. Rather than be captured and spend the rest of their lives in jail, Thelma proposes that they keep going, implying that they end their lives by driving over the edge and into the canyon. Louise initially doesn’t understand, and Thelma repeats herself. Louise smiles and asks Thelma if she is certain, and Thelma replies yes. Louise pulls Thelma to her and kisses her and then she stomps on the gas. Slocumb recognizes what is happening as soon as the car starts forward, and he sprints after the women in a desperate effort to save them. The film ends with the car driving over the cliff and flying through the air. End credits begin over a montage of their happier moments together during the weekend.
