A sense of freedom

I was really inspired by the journey of Thelma and Louise: how they try to overcome such obstacles as escaping from her husband, robbing a store, getting away from the cop, etc. The idea of women power is really eye catching in this movie and the feeling of being able to choose your way is what makes the movie exciting. I believe the idea of change is what makes this roadtrip: how Thelma changed into a stronger, daring, and a much bolder at heart woman from a woman who always did what her husband expected her to do. Being able to become a different character given the chance that no one is there to tell you what to do and choosing what you want to do is what I would hope for in my idea of a road trip; leaving out the craziness (robbing a store, shooting, etc) that Thelma and Louise did.
