It’s been 30 years since the legendaries Thelma e Louise, holding hand in hand, they threw themselves into the Grand Canyon aboard a Ford Thunderbird towards freedom: it is one of the most famous cinematographic scenes ever, which has become a symbol of tenacity, female emancipation and friendship without borders.
Susan Sarandon e Geena Davis they climbed aboard a blue convertible again to celebrate the anniversary of the film that made them two cinema icons. Time seems to have stopped and the shots of the reunion, (published on Instagram by Davis herself) have gone around the world.
The special event took place in Los Angeles, just to celebrate 30 years of that legendary film: a sort of drive in was set up where the actresses were able to watch the film that made them famous. Today Geena Davis is 65 years old, Susan Sarandon 75. Both have had wonderful careers in film and it’s good to know that Sarandon has also become an ambassador forHim-her-it for food and agriculture. One of those women that we would undoubtedly define with a capital D, the “Louise” that many would like as a friend.
Seeing them together, embraced once again in that car brought back old memories. The film, in 1992 also won a Oscar just like best script: the story, simple but intense at the same time, tells the life and bitterness of two friends forced to flee after killing the man who had tried to abuse one of them.
The daring escape and the chase with the police constantly on their trail, are the kind of images that even those who, perhaps, have not seen the whole film know. For the most attentive and passionate, it must be remembered that a very young man also appears in the film Brad Pitt struggling with the first engagements a Hollywood: in Thelma & Louise, the actor plays the role of a handsome and damned cowboy who manages to trick and rob one of his two friends.
In short, it is one of those films that is worth watching and, why not, watching at least once in a lifetime. Because we all dreamed of afriendship able to save us from the abyss, to pull us out of our shell, and able to remain by our side despite adversity, whatever the cost.
