Why can thelma and louise be called a classic of feminist movies?

Thelma and louise is regarded as a feminist or feminist film masterpiece. This classic film, which is famous for its film history, got a high score of 8.7 on Douban. 94%? Drama, better than what? 97%? Crime movie, what makes this movie get such an evaluation?

Almost the whole story happened in the high-speed Mercedes-Benz 1966 green Thunderbird roadster, flying farther and farther, and getting more and more free and wild with the hearts of our leading sisters.

I think the reason why this film is called a feminist film is largely because the special props of masculinity, such as sports cars and pistols, which symbolize power, majesty, self-esteem and violence, as well as the actions of shooting, robbing, drinking and speeding, are given to Selma and Louis. It seems to be the handover of power, but in fact it is the free power obtained through "uprising" and ideological liberation.

A leader once said, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance"-Selma, who has been oppressed for the longest time, is also the biggest personality reversal. From the husband who was yelled at by a straight man's cancer, to the panic, crying and trembling after the murder, to calmly robbing the supermarket with a gun, aiming the gun at the state police, blowing up the tanker, and proposing to drive off the cliff ... She is no longer the silly and sweet weak woman who was earlier, and even to some extent is older than Louise in the image of elder sister.

The most classic and shocking scene is the last cliff ride.

Just like the old police officer said, the two women were bullied after being arrested, so Selma and Louis, who were enjoying freedom and happiness, smiled at each other, shook hands and made peace, and flew to the cliff, to the end and to freedom.

This scene has sublimated the film to the extreme, giving it the strongest feminist significance-every woman has the right to choose her own destiny, rather than being enslaved and bullied from beginning to end.

To sum up, thelma and louise is a feminist classic worthy of the name.
