Thelma and Louise

The moment when Louise is talking to Jimmy was significant to me. He asks her if she thinks she's the only one with dreams that didn't work out, and she says, "… I think its time to just let go of the old mistakes; just chalk it up to bad timing. I think it's time to let go."

While they are specifically talking about their relationship together, I think this is a great example that can be applied to their entire road trip. Their road trip is a way to let go of their mistakes and escape those dreams that didn't work out.

If they hadn't been on the run, would Louise have married Jimmy, or would she still feel the need to let go of old mistakes and move on?
