Let’s keep going,” Geena Davis’ Thelma says to Susan Sarandon’s Louise at the end of Ridley Scott’s 1991 genre-bender. And keep going they have. Now a neo-feminist classic, Thelma & Louise’s ballsy, emotional heft is encapsulated in its fearless ending.
As the Arkansas holidaymakers turn accidental criminals, they reach the end of the road at the Grand Canyon. Rather than face jail, they choose spiritual freedom by gunning their Thunderbird over the abyss.
It’s a moment that was key to Sarandon taking the role. “When I met with Ridley, I said, ‘Don’t have me do this and then when you test it, you’re going to reshoot and we’re going to be alive after all,’” she recalled, having loved Callie Khouri’s script.
