Thelma and Louise
Feminism can take on many different definitions, in fact I truly think that we all may have a different idea of what it means. To me it's equality, between both genders no matter the situations and/or circumstances and a feminist is someone who encourages and believes whole-heartedly in this practice.
Thelma and Louise has always been on of my favorite movies. I remember watching it with my mom and my friends through out highschool many many times. Feminism was obvious to me when I originally watched it years ago, however, this class has made a few more issues and situations where a feminist critique has become even more obvious. The scene that sticks out in my mind is Thelma's attempt to get away from her husband. She is using this trip to become "free" yet still needs that approval from her husband to go. When she just leaves him, it does embody the power a woman can have to do what she wants yet she still conformed to things that her husband wanted her to do in the home before she left, ie leaving microwavable food for him. It conforms to the idea that a wife or a woman needs to take care of her husbands every need - the cliche of the "dinner on the table when he gets home" idea.
Feminism is very apparent throughout this entire movie and both Thelma and Louise use this road to escape situations that were holding them back from being free, creating that freedom and equality that so many men are shown to have then and in society today.
