Thelma and Louise (10th Sept)

Director: Ridley Scott


Year:1991


Genre: Adventure, Crime, Drama, Thriller







  • deigetic- cutlery, tv, talking, washing up


  • no deigetic- background music


  • falling over- comedy genre


  • putting food in and out of the fridge- knows that she's not allowed to have it but she gives in


  • angriness of the husband gives the idea that he's the domineering person.


  • lighting


  • women are very opposite


  • part of the film where Thelma puts the gun in the bag seems important- it makes it seem as though she might use it later on in the film


  • Thelma is tied-down while Louise is free


  • The husband swinging his keys could show his arrogance


  • Thelma is packing everything- she may not be coming back


  • sports car- shows off, red car (colour of anger), arrogance, loves the car more than hiswife.


  • husband lives with wife but treats her like a mother doing everything for him.


  • trapped in the house- passive


  • husband moans at Thelma for doing anything

  • 'people always buy carpets on a Friday'- could mean that the husband's having an affair

  • the packing sequence is short: 'real time' is longer

  • Scott builds up the clues: gun, the time that Lousie picks up Thelma, mountains in the background, etc
