Thelma and Louise vs. Set it off
First of all, i am sorry that i couldn't post the blog on time. i had issues with opening the website.somehow, it couldnt' open up in my lap top.
Ways that Thelma and Louise and Set it off is different is how the foundation of these two films are set up.
In Thelma and Louise, we don't really know how strong their friendships are and what kind of friendships that they actually have. In the film, we do know from a scene that Louise has kind of like the bad influence on Thelma and Thelma's husband discourages her to hang out with Louise. Later, on we know the strength of their friendships. But, we never actually know what kind of friendship it is. Because of the last kiss that they actually have when they die or jump off the cliff. So, we don't clearly know whether their love is just friendship and caring kind of love or is it just more than that? So, we always kind of get that notiion of the lesbian relationship or bond they have.
Set it off, we clearly could see that all these african american women are just friends. they care about each other a lot. Especially Jade Pink Smith and Queen Latifa are like this childhood friends. We never get that notion of lesbian relationship amongst them. Even though, Queen Latifa is a lesbian in that movie. But, she has this partner, this other african american woman who gets introduced as her girlfriend.
