It's 'Thelma & Louise' for Guys

摘要

In movies, as sometimes in life, the most extreme stories can crystallize our everyday experience and speak to a common pain. In 1991, "Thelma & Louise" did that for women. Women who had never been nearly raped or had the desire to blow up a gasoline truck with a handgun or become a martyr by driving off the Grand Canyon in a turquoise Thunder-bird took the drama of the distaff desperadoes to be their story and made it an anthem, a consciousness-raising buddy comedy.
