I am doing a textual analysis about the final scene in the movie. At the end, once Thelma and Louise decide to drive off the cliff, the police officer goes after them. What does this represent? why did he do it?
The movie follows the journey of two best friends, Thelma and Louise, who are tired of their mundane lives and decide to go on a road trip. However, the trip takes a dramatic turn when they are forced to defend themselves against a rapist and end up being on the run from the law.
The main characters are Thelma, a naive and sheltered housewife, and Louise, a strong-willed and independent waitress. They are joined by various other characters, including Thelma's husband and a detective chasing after them.
No, the movie is not based on a true story. It is a work of fiction written by Callie Khouri.
The ending of the movie is open to interpretation, but it is often seen as a feminist statement. Thelma and Louise choose to take control of their own lives and fate, rather than letting society dictate it for them.
The movie was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Actress for both Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. It won for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing. It also won numerous other awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Screenplay and a BAFTA for Best Actress for Geena Davis.
