Although it confines itself to strictly discussing 'Thelma and Louise', Taubin's interview with Ridley Scott, touches upon a number of interesting modes by which narrative operates in the Road Movie genre, especially regarding its reluctance - perhaps even inability - to achieve a convincing closure. Both Taubin and Scott debate the foundations of narrative in the Road Film, and subsequently cannot come to a concensus as to how the films should end. |
| Synopsis |
Amy Taubin interviews director of Thelma and Louise, Ridley Scott. Throughout the article, both interviewer and interviewee argue about the end of 'Thelma and Louise' and how it should be interpreted by audiences, Taubin stating that "..via the freeze frame, Thelma and Louise become legends, without having to go through all the grisly stuff of dying"(19). Scott, however, counters this, opining that "...there is a price for everything... it just seemed appropriate that they carry on the journey. It's a metaphorical continuation"(19) |
