Set It Off
Through two very powerful movies, Thelma and Louise and Set It Off, I was able to draw many conclusions about how they are very similar. Both films are about women and the road and escaping authorities. However, in Thelma and Louise the women are on the road, and in Set If Off the women desire to be on the road but only one eventually makes it to the road.
Sisterhood and loyalty is established through both of these films. Thelma and Louise become extremely close on their journey and console in each other along the way. When Louise shoots the man that is trying to rape Thelma, it shows how loyal Louise is to Thelma. Finally at the end of the film, the two ladies drive off of the cliff. This act shows that their friendship and experiences together were worth more than the life they would spend as criminals behind bars. In Set It Off, all four of the women are very closely linked to one another. They all are poor and need money. Their friendships usite them and eventually they begin robbing banks. They believe that money is their way to a better life. However, all but one of the women die in the end because of their loyalty to each other.
