In the film Thelma and Louis men are have more power and are dominant, strong and superior over women. Though out the film Thelma and Louis are very dynamic characters that change over time. Thelma for example starts off in the movie as a very feminien women who is always overpowered by men. Later she is robbing shops and dose not fear a man or gun, she even stands up to the man in the truck that makes lude gestures to her and Louis. This film shows who has most power and dominance. Also can women have power over men?
In these two pictures it shows how Thelma is weak at first but becomes the more strong and dominate character.
In the begining of this movie Louis seems to be more masculine than Feminine. She wore pants unlike Thelma and dose not trust other men or fall for their tricks like thelma dose. She seems like a strong character until the midpoint of the film when her boyfriend proposes to her and loses the money he gave to her. Her hair is down and she begins to cry and becomes a lot more feminine. Also Louis almost told the detective what happened in Texas and is becoming more soft. Thelma hangs up the phone for her at this point she has becoming more masculine.
Antaya, I like the look of your blog! You have clear general description of the characters and what changes they go through. However, do you think you could add more descriptions and explanations of scenes from the film that emphasize these points?
