Abstract

The film, as a form of cultural expression, usually also assumes the responsibility of reflecting and exploring social issues and presenting them to the masses in a more popular way, and these social issues also include gender issues class issues, and so on. Feminism has been a hot topic in recent years, and it has led to many different issues such as women's independence and the dichotomy between men and women, but the public's understanding of feminism is too shallow and one-sided. Taking the film Thelma and Louise as an example, this study aims to explore the theme of women breaking the boundaries of gender and class to present feminist growth in this film, by analyzing the characters' personalities, their ways of thinking about things, and their final choices. This study likewise presents how the two female protagonists transform from victims to strong and independent women. According to the final results of the study Thelma and Louise successfully present a feminist coming-of-age story that is significant to society as well as the awakening of feminism.
