Thelma and Louise

The scene when Louise first says she's going to Mexico was significant in the movie. I think the scene shows their purpose for their travels although the movie did not start out this way. Their trip becomes an escape from the crime Louise has committed and an escape from their old way of life. They realize that it is too late for them to turn back, so they run and avoid being caught. They know that they have lost everything they had, so they continue to commit crimes without anything to lose. Their only option of escape is to keep moving. As the movie progresses, I think that they gain the freedom to express themselves, and in order to keep their freedom, they avoid getting caught even until the end.

What would have happened if they just turned themselves in?
