Like Irvine, Bozell wants journalists to come clean about their true political orientation. "If TIME magazine wants to present a left-wing agenda, it has a responsibility to admit that," he states. "Objectivity is a myth." When asked how much influence liberal crusaders such as Margot Kidder and Susan Sarandon could possibly exert on the shaping of political debate in America, Bozell replies, "The entertainment medium is the strongest resource of the left today." This is not necessarily heartening news for the left...
...account of what happened in the parking lot, Thelma and Louise decide they have no choice but to make a run for the Mexican border. This long concluding passage of the film, rich in irony and ambiguities, is fueled dramatically by a slow, steady shift in their relationship. As Sarandon notes, Louise suffers "great remorse" about the murder. "It doesn't change the world, and in the long run it doesn't serve to her advantage."

You built this whole film to have these people not settle anymore, and then you'd toss them back into the system...
...which leave you wondering if screenwriter Callie Khouri isn't just fronting for Hugh Hefner, Thelma & Louise is a movie with legs. Long after the movie is done entertaining, it stirs up questions about why men and women remain mysteries to each other. It has its small triumphs. Susan Sarandon makes Hollywood a little safer for older actresses; she fearlessly plays next to someone 10 years younger. And at least Thelma and Louise stop short of emulating Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, who use their remaining ammunition to go out in a blaze of testosteronic glory. The movie...
