Movie That I Would Recommend - Thelma & Louise

Here is another  movie that I would  recommend - Thelma & Louise
So if you have nothing to do on a lazy Saturday or Sunday
then you can rent (or legally download) the movie and enjoy.

If you are into road trip movies you will surely like Thelma & Lousie.
Even if you are not, this is a very good watch.

A 1991 movie , directed by "Gladiator" Ridley Scott, this movie is about two ordinary women
under extra-ordinary situations.

And to be clear - Its not a chick-flick. Yes it is a bit feminist but overall a fun movie to watch.

Susan Sarandon is abolutely fantastic as Lousie.
Geena Davis is a revelation. Her Thelma is a character that finally breaks free. Her performance as a naive house-wife and then the transition she undergoes is lovely.

Both the actors share a delightful chemistry and you will start thinking about their safety as well
as start cursing them for their at-times-foolishness. Thats the beauty.

Apart from the actors, what is absolutely breath-taking is the cinematography, the landscape.
If you have travelled across America, you will connect. If you haven't then you will marvel at the landscape.

The male characters in the movie are a little cliched but thats one reason for the extra-ordinary situations. Watch Brad Pitt in one of his earlier movies.

Has a somewhat predictable yet super ending.

An awesome movie about free-spirit, about breaking-free and about friendship.

oh and I forgot to mention Thunderbird :)

I enjoyed it. You might as well !!
