English Summary:

Thelma & Louise is a 1991 American female buddy road film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Callie Khouri. It stars Geena Davis as Thelma and Susan Sarandon as Louise, two friends who embark on a road trip which ends up in unforeseen circumstances. The supporting cast include Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, and Brad Pitt in one of his first major film roles.

Despite some controversy at the time of its release, accusing the movie of portraying a negative view of men, the film became a critical and commercial success, receiving six Academy Award nominations and winning for Best Original Screenplay. Scott was nominated for Best Director, and both Sarandon and Davis were nominated for Best Actress. To date, this is the most recent film to have two actors nominated in the same category for either Best Actor or Best Actress. At the intersection of several genres, it is now considered a classic. It influenced other films and artistic works and became a landmark of feminist film. In 2016, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Dutch Summary:

Thelma is getrouwd met Darryl die zijn vrouw het liefst achter het aanrecht ziet, zodat hij ongestoord naar de televisie kan kijken. De tien jaar oudere Louise werkt als serveerster in een eethuis; haar musicerende vriend is zelden thuis. Om de sleur te doorbreken trekken de twee vriendinnen er een paar dagen op uit in de oude, open Ford Thunderbird 1966 cabriolet van Louise. De ontwikkelingen raken in een stroomversnelling als Louise bij een bar een man neerschiet, die Thelma probeert te verkrachten. Ze slaan op de vlucht richting Mexico, omdat Louise vreest dat een beroep op noodweer niet geloofd zal worden.
