Thelma and Louise.... 'Girl Power'
I believe that Thelma and Louise was more than just a film portraying feminist. It showed the importance of women standing up for themselves and eachother. Staying with the theme of standing up for all women, I think that the scene in the movie that best portrays feminism is when Thelma was getting raped by the jerk at the bar, and Louise came in and stood up for her friend. Though violence was shown which of course is not the answer, who can really blame her. After what the guy said and how he treated them, I think we can sympathize and understand why she did it. This scene displays very well how I would describe feminism. Though it may not be the usual definition that we hear, I would define it as women sticking up for themselves and eachother. To be able to have the ability to do that is so empowering and I think we as women should use that power more often. A lot could/can be accomplished if we all learn to stand up for ourselves and other women around us.
