Out of Control

I think the most important scene is the one in which Thelma pulls the gun out on the police officer, instructs Louise to take his gun, and locks him in the trunk. At this point in the movie things really start to snowball and get out of control, after this there is no going quietly. Thelma says that "Three days ago neither one of us would've ever pulled a stunt like this". But now they are wanted in two states and considered armed and dangerous. Thelma has definitely stepped out of her calm and passive self and become a lawless individual. If they would have called the police as soon as they shot that man things would've probably been alot better for them but since they started to run they only dug themselves in deeper. I like it when they decide to not get caught and keep going at the end. I think it turned out better for them that way. If you were in the same situation, would you call the police, or escape to Mexico?
