Thelma and Louise
One scene that I believe betrays the feminism that many claim is inherent to the film is a scene after Harlan has been killed and Thelma and Louise are sitting in a restaurant/diner discussing what happened and what they are going to do. They start to argue and Thelma asks Louise if what had happened was her fault. Louise gives no answer and says nothing. The fact that Louise says nothing in response indicates that she believes that it is Thelma's fault. This is where feminism is betrayed. As I see it, feminism is a belief that women can act independent of and without reliance on men, and also that women are not the root of all problems and mistakes. Here Louise's lack of an answer differs from my idea of feminism because she disproves it by blaming Thelma for her rape, something which is very common in our society that always blames women for enticing men and "asking for it". She does not refute the idea that Thelma deserved what happened to her. This seems very antifeminist and not fitting with the general ideas of the film. There is a moment near the end of the film where it would have been appropriate for Louise to say that it is not Thelma's fault, but again she does not do what she should do and affirm the idea that Thelma is not to blame.
