Thelma and Louise
Okay, I don't really know what Feminism is suppose to mean. But, I will tell you what I think it is actually suppose to be. Feminism is when a woman take a stance and takes pride in being a woman and the way she is. In today's world, I think when someone hears Feminism, it seems like a woman is saying that they are fighting for equality and is completely on the other side of the argument. However, I think feminsim means just being proud of however you are, as a woman.
Did Thelma and Louise go against feminsim?
I can't really tell you. Because in my definition of a feminism, it is taking pride in being a woman. And I believe that Thelma and Louise took pride in being a woman. So, in that terms- I don't think the film has betrayed the definition. I love the parts of the film, whenever a guy tries to make a woman look down, Thelma and Louise makes them feel sorry for their opinion. Because a woman is neither below nor above a man. So, I really liked the scene where they blow up the truck drivers truck because he didn't say sorry for insulting woman and making woman a sexual object. And they made him pay for it. Also, I am so glad that they decided to shoot that guy/ rapist. He deserved it.
Some might say that the film has gone against the term feminism, in terms of clothing. For example, clothings worn by Louise was always more of a manly style. But, I don't think that really matters. It does make Louise look a little like a Lesbian, because of the way she acts. Like strong and manly.
Also, if you hear someone is feminist these days. People ask, oh...she must be a lesbian. So, I don't think that only a lesbian can be a feminist or a gay can be a feminist. I think any one who takes pride in being a woman and carries herself well, is a feminist.
Overall, I liked the film.
