Geena Davis reveals who hated Brad Pitt for landing ‘Thelma & Louise’ role

Geena Davis revealed that an A-list actor hated Brad Pitt because he was jealous that Pitt landed the role of “Thelma & Louise” ahead of him. On an episode of “The Graham Norton Show,” Davis, who starred alongside Susan Sarandon in the 1991 Ridley Scott flick, recalled Pitt’s audition to play her love interest JD. “Each of them were very handsome,” said the “A League of Their Own” star of the…

Top những bộ phim xuất sắc làm nên tên tuổi Brad Pitt

Phim "Thelma & Louise"

"Thelma & Louise" xoay quanh câu chuyện về hai người bạn thân: Thelma và Louise. Louise (Susan Sarandon) là người phụ nữ độc lập và có cá tính mạnh luôn tỏ ra chững chạc và từng trải. Trái ngược lại với cô, Thelma (Geena Davis) lúc nào cũng phải dựa dẫm vào chồng và thường không thể làm chủ được chính mình.

Thelma luôn phải hỏi một ai khác trước khi quyết định chuyện gì và dễ dàng sa ngã bởi cô không biết lúc nào nên ngừng lại. Để trốn chạy khỏi cuộc sống gia đình nhàm chán hàng ngày, họ quyết định rong ruổi trên chiếc xe T–Bird 1966 thực hiện một cuộc hành trình để tìm trải nghiệm mới. Chuyến phiêu lưu định mệnh của họ sau đó đã gặp tai ương và bất đắc dĩ trở thành cuộc trốn chạy pháp luật sau khi họ gây tội ác để tự vệ...

"Thelma & Louise" của đạo diễn Ridley Scott vẫn có sức hút với khán giả đại chúng hiện nay. Ảnh: TL

"Thelma & Louise" là đứa con tinh thần của nhà biên kịch Callie Khouri, người đã mơ ước tạo tiền đề trên đường đi làm về.

Bộ phim đánh dấu vai diễn đột phá của Brad Pitt khi đóng vai JD, một cựu tù nhân lang thang trong bộ phim với bộ tuxedo Canada và giọng nói run rẩy nhưng vẫn lọt vào mắt xanh của Thelma.

Phim "Thelma & Louise"

Đạo diễn: Ridley Scott

Phát hành: 1991

Thời lượng: 129 phút

Diễn viên: Brad Pitt, Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis...

Mặc dù Brad Pitt chắc chắn trở thành một diễn viên giỏi hơn, nhưng phần lớn sức hấp dẫn của Pitt có thể được tìm thấy trong những khoảnh khắc ngắn anh ấy xuất hiện trong "Thelma & Louise". Brad Pitt rất đẹp trai (đặc biệt là khi cởi áo) và chính sự quyến rũ, lôi cuốn pha trộn với sự tinh nghịch đã khiến Pitt trở thành một siêu sao trên màn ảnh.

 Phim "Se7en"

“Se7en” được giới phê bình ca ngợi nồng nhiệt. Ảnh: TL

"Se7en" kể về cuộc hành trình theo dấu một kẻ giết người hàng loạt (Kevin Spacey thủ vai), hai thám tử, một Mills (Pitt) trẻ tuổi, ngây thơ và một Somerset (Morgan Freeman) rệu rã, mệt mỏi, dần tiến sâu vào địa ngục do kẻ sát nhân dựng lên từ 7 tội lỗi trong kinh thánh, lồng trong khung cảnh những tòa nhà chọc trời u buồn, cô đơn ở một thành phố không tên.

Kịch bản "Se7en" được Andrew Kevin Walker lấy cảm hứng từ thời gian anh chật vật mưu sinh để vào nghề biên kịch ở New York . Tác phẩm gây sốt với giới chuyên môn. Theo Rotten Tomatoes, 80% trong tổng số hơn 60 bài phê bình đánh giá phim tích cực. Giới phân tích đồng thuận: "Se7en gây ngỡ ngàng với các cảnh bạo lực u tối, diễn xuất nhập tâm, hiệu ứng hình ảnh ma mị và đặc biệt có cái kết sốc, gây ám ảnh". 

Đạo diễn: David Fincher

Phát hành: 1995

Thời lượng: 128 phút

Diễn viên:Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey...

Đây là một trong những phim xuất sắc của Brad Pitt. Cảnh tài tử vừa đau khổ cùng quẫn, vừa căm hận tột bậc trong phim khiến người xem bị ám ảnh. Will Robinson nhận xét về cái kết: "Kết phim thông minh khiến nhân vật phản diện chết mà vẫn không rơi vào tình thế thỏa hiệp như các phim thông thường. Tác phẩm cũng gây sốc khi nhân vật chính diện - điều tra viên cuối cùng lại bất đắc dĩ phải thủ ác. Màn kết bất ngờ này khiến tác phẩm không còn là phim điều tra thông thường mà trở thành vở kịch về đạo đức".

Phim "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"

Bộ phim hành động đầy chất thơ tình của đạo diễn Doug Liman. Ảnh: TL

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" là một bộ phim tình cảm hành động không kém phần lãng mạn kể về chuyện tình của cặp đôi sát thủ bí ẩn do Angelina Jolie và Brad Pitt thể hiện. Trong phim khi hai người làm nhiệm vụ vô tình trúng tiếng sét ái tình của đối phương và kết hôn. Cuộc hôn nhân với vỏ bọc hoàn hảo trôi qua êm đềm đến khi tổ chức của cả hai đưa ra yêu cầu thủ tiêu cùng một đối tượng. Cuộc chạm trán khi xử lí cùng mục tiêu đã khiến cả hai biết thân phận nhau. Từ những hiểu lầm hai bên lên kế hoạch giết đối phương nhưng sau cùng nhận ra tình yêu dành cho nhau. Vì vậy hai người kề vai sát cánh chiến đấu và lật mở những bí mật và giải quyết hiểu lầm.

Đạo diễn: Doug Liman

Phát hành: 2005

Thời lượng: 120 phútDiễn viên: Brad Pitt, Angelina, Jolie, Adam Brody...

Ngập tràn trong phim là những lời thoại, cử chỉ, lời nói và cả danh sách các ca khúc sử dụng làm nhạc phim – tất cả đều giống như một tiểu thuyết ngôn tình xen chút bạo lực thú vị. Có thể kể đến các bản tình ca đã được sử dụng trong phim như: "Love Stinks" (The J. Geils Band), "Tainted Love" (Soft Cell), "I Melt with You" (Nouvelle Vague) hay "You Are My Sunshine" (Stine J.)... Tất cả được nhà làm phim hòa quyện đầy tính nghệ thuật trong các cảnh phim lãng mạn thể hiện mối quan hệ "tình trong như đã mặt ngoài còn e" của cặp diễn viên Brad Pitt và Angelina Jolie.

Phim "Burn After Reading"

“Burn After Reading” được đạo diễn: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen. Ảnh: TL

Phim theo chân một cựu điệp viên quyết định thu hồi ký vào đĩa dữ liệu nhưng rồi bỏ quên mất ở phòng gym. Một anh chàng nhân viên nhặt được, quyết định tống tiền ông ta, và dẫn cả hai đến những kết cục không ai ngờ tới. "Burn After Reading" tập hợp dàn diễn viên hạng A gồm: Brad Pitt , Frances McDormand, George Clooney, John Malkovich… dưới tài dẫn dắt của anh em nhà Coens. Phim mang đến cả những tiếng cười và sự cay đắng, nhưng trên hết, là sự châm biếm sâu cay về bản chất thật của con người.

Đạo diễn: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen

Phát hành: 2008

Thời lượng: 96 phút

Diễn viên: Brad Pitt, George Clooney...

Bộ phim hài hước do Brad Pitt thủ vai. Năm 2008, "Burn After Reading" đã chiếm vị trí đầu bảng những bộ phim chiếu rạp, với doanh thu 19,4 triệu đô la ngay sau khi ra rạp. Sự có mặt của dàn diễn viên nổi tiếng như: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand và Tilda Swinton khiến "Burn After Reading" trở thành cái tiêu đề phim được mọi người chú ý và lựa chọn. Với sự thành công này, anh em nhà Coen lại ghi tên mình vào danh sách những đạo diễn thành công nhất với phim màn ảnh rộng.

Phim "Moneyball"

"Moneyball" được thực hiện bởi đạo diễn Bennett Miller, người từng được đề cử Oscar cho Đạo diễn xuất sắc với phim Capote vào năm 2005. Ảnh: TL

"Moneyball"  dựa trên cuốn sách Moneyball: Nghệ thuật để chiến thắng trong một trò chơi không công bằng của nhà văn Michael Lewis xuất bản năm 2003. Phim xoay quanh Billy Beane, giám đốc điều hành câu lạc bộ Oakland Athletics, trong công cuộc chèo lái đội bóng của mình để cạnh tranh chức vô địch giải bóng chày nhà nghề Mỹ (MLB). Đây là một câu chuyện có thật về nỗ lực giải cứu Oakland A's thoát khỏi khủng hoảng sau khi các trụ cột lần lượt rời bỏ đội bóng để theo tiếng gọi của những bản hợp đồng béo bở từ các đối thủ khác...

Đạo diễn: Bennett Miller

Phát hành: 2011

Thời lượng: 133 phút

Diễn viên: Bradd Pitt, Kerris Dorsey...

Câu chuyện bao trùm được ghi lại trong phim chắc chắn rất hấp dẫn và từng khoảnh khắc mang lại nhiều giá trị giải trí - ngay cả đối với những người hâm mộ không phải là bóng chày. Kỹ xảo điện ảnh rất sắc nét, tận dụng tối đa các hành lang phía sau hậu trường chật hẹp của (vào thời điểm đó) Network Associates Coliseum - cũng như sự mở rộng của sân bóng. Không giống như các bộ phim thể thao ngoài đời thực khác.

lockdown film no. 35 - Thelma & Louise (1991) dir. Ridley Scott

15/05/2020

This was my first time seeing this film — I’d never seen it before, didn’t know what happened even though apparently everyone knows the end, all I knew was that it was a sort of buddy movie and it won best picture in ’91. I was very excited and good god I was not disappointed

- “you a little young to be smoking? it lowers your sex drive” *lights up*

- the premise of this feels a little like American honey. Terrible home life for one of the main characters and she just runs away 

- I literally always forget how fit Susan Sarandon is. Who gave her the right

- the south scares the absolute shit out of me. however, I would love to go dancing in a country bar as long as I wasn’t hate crimed

- the scene with thelma and Harlan was well done in the sense that I felt physically sick watching it. Also I was glad that it didn’t get to the point where he actually raped her, and we got small details like him kicking her feet wider because that added to a real horrible sense of dread and we know that he would have done it if Louise hadn’t come in with the gun. 

- “I’m in deep shit, Jimmy, Deep Shit, Arkansas.”

- I love the fact that thelma just had her entire suitcase with her while she was sunbathing. Also appreciated the details in that scene like her scuffed feet and the bruises on her knees because it was super consistent with what we’d seen so far. And I don’t like it when things are shiny especially in stuff like this

- good god brad Pitt is so sexy in this

- can’t cope with the guy doing curls when their car was getting filled up

- “How come you never told me about what happened to you in Texas?!” TRAUMA BABIE

- a really big part of me wants to be brad Pitt’s character in this. I want to be a polite cowboy who helps women realise they deserve more than they think they do. Maybe not the mass shoplifting and stealing vast amounts of money from said women, but

- geena Davis and brad Pitt’s chemistry was… impeccable. They acted the scenes they had together so well and even their sex scene was almost endearing because when jd was kissing down thelma’s stomach she said “wait” and he did and he rested his chin on her and they just looked at each for a bit before launching into that whole bit and even something as small as that made the whole thing feel like the both of them were really into what was going on

- when we realised that jd had taken their money it was one of the more heartbreaking moments in the film, cos he seemed legit. It was quite funny actually, when that reveal happened my mum said “it’s bad that he took all their money, but at least he gave thelma a good time. And that’s important”. We ended up having an unexpected but nice discussion on the importance of women’s pleasure

- watching thelma rob the store was easily one of the most entertaining things, and it was ace to see her character develop over the course of the film

- “there’s no such thing as justifiable robbery” “where’d you get this?” “stole it”

- i loved how thelma just said “ok” when Louise said that she wasn’t talking about Texas. She told her to drop it and she did and just said “it’s ok”. She didn’t apologise for asking because then it puts something on Louise to forgive her 

- the hold up with the police officer was one of the politest things id ever seen and it wasn’t out of either of their characters at this point. Thelma was more confident and probably drunk and basically channelling jd at this point and Louise was the one following her lead so it was an almost complete role reversal from the beginning which I loved

- acab apart from Harvey keitel

- the way that their appearances changed throughout the film was so interesting. At the start Thelma was kind of frothy and buzzy and gradually she became almost hardened by all that had happened but she didn’t lose the essence of her character. Her hair changed and her face seemed to get darker and almost more weathered but not in a way that beat her down, in a way that made her stronger. And louise looked different as well — they both picked up memorabilia on the way so by the end they’re both wearing hats from the people who have hurt them and Louise has the cop’s sunglasses. She changes as well but she also learns from thelma in a way that we wouldn’t have expected her to at the beginning of the film. The final lorry driver scene had this in that they were playing off each other and Louise was remembering how thelma handled the nazi police officer

- the locations were spectacular

- i guess one of the things that this films about is how much people can stand until they can’t stand it anymore. The recurring theme of the god awful truck driver is a really good example of this because the first two times they see him, first they yell at him, then they ignore him because they’re on the run from the law, and then when they meet him again they blow up his truck because it was too much. he’d gone too far every time, it wasn’t like the last time was any worse than the times before, but this time they’d decided they couldn’t let him pass them by

- it was a really nice bit of comedic relief having the guy on the bike and the “oh my god he’s a nazi” police officer

- the car chase in this is one of the better ones id seen. And the shot of all the cars following them from high up? i’m absolutely reeling

- i nearly shit myself when they almost drove right over the edge and then the helicopter came up. 

- oh my god speaking of the hats they blew off both their heads when the helicopter came up and they didn’t put them back on ! In that moment they’re stripped of any of the armour they’ve gathered over the course of what’s happened and it’s just them without any of the other stuff so they’re the most vulnerable we’ve seen them for a while

- when I first saw it I really wasn’t expecting the end and it still hit me a lot second time round. Nearly welled up a bit at the bit where Harvey keitel was running after their car in slow motion

- I was just talking to my mum about this and we both thought it was interesting how the story so easily could have been the sexual assault, and while the story wouldnt go the way that it would if Harlan hadn't almost raped thelma, the story doesn't become the trauma, it’s so much more layered than that

- i love this film. Im really glad it gets clout and im pleased that there can be films directed by men that are about women and that are done really really well. Please watch it

Thelma and Louise: A story of nonconformity and the failure of romance

Sophia Kennan - 848 words

Thelma and Louise, ever hailed as an iconic feminist film, embodies the idea of nonconformity. Throughout the film, the theme of rebellion and nonconformity appears regularly—the two women literally become fugitives of the law after Louise shoots a man for attempting to sexually assault Thelma. There are smaller instances as well: Thelma sleeping with a younger man even though she’s married, Louise refuses to marry a man she’s involved with and breaks it off,  Thelma, who had previously never been able to stand up to her husband, not only leaves to go on a trip without his permission, but fully breaks free of him in her refusal to return to him and give herself up to the police. They then spend the majority of the film playing a game of cat and mouse with law enforcement in increasing jurisdictions after finally saying “screw it” and giving into the outlaw lifestyle and genuinely enjoying it. The themes of nonconformity show up in the difference between any other Western outlaw movie and this one, which is the motivation and meaning. Most Western outlaw films center around men who have committed a crime, and Thelma and Louise’s story is much more nuanced, with the murder committed being one of self defense, almost justified to the audience. The women go on the run knowing that the world is an unjust place for women telling stories of assault.

Nonconformity manifests even outside the bounds of the story. Callie Khouri, the screenwriter behind this huge hit, was the first solo female screenwriter to win the Best Screenplay Academy Award in 60 years. In the writing and production of the film, she refused to make any changes, changes that would have helped her script get picked up, to the controversial ending. One such suggestion was that the women instead drive into a ditch, where they would be rescued by a man, which seems incredibly blind to the entire feminist point of the movie. Regardless, Khouri refused to compromise to make her story more “palatable” to male audiences, making her story an authentic one of female camaraderie and feminist themes on the refusal to compromise, evoking the shocking ending where they drive off a cliff.

Some see Thelma and Louise as romantically in love, and, while it’s abundantly clear that their bond is unbreakable and they obviously love each other deeply, to me, it would go against the nature of the film, with its themes of rebellion and nonconformity, to agree. Romance in Hollywood is expected. Nearly every blockbuster film is either about romance or features romantic relationships in significant roles. Thelma and Louise, in its inherent rebellious nature both in the story and in production, defies this expectation. That’s not to say there is no romance present in the film, though. On the contrary: the film uses its romantic elements to further the idea of nonconformity. Louise breaks up with a sort-of boyfriend after he proposes to her and JD, the hitchhiking robber Thelma sleeps with, runs off with Louise’s life savings. Louise, after only having terrible misfortunes with men (an unhappy and abusive marriage, sexual assault, and now this) then undergoes a palpable shift in character, pointedly marked by a convenience store stick-up. Romance failed Thelma and Louise. Men failed Thelma and Louise. Where, then, they find refuge, is in their deep friendship with one another. The movie fails to conform to the Hollywood stereotypes of a traditional happy ending and romance.

Thelma and Louise is, at its core, a movie about women escaping and actively defiling the expectations of society, as evidenced by everything I’ve cited above. That makes it incredibly important to the message of the film that romance is not the focal point of the story. The men around Thelma and Louise, especially those that serve in a romantic capacity, continuously and reliably fail them. It makes perfect sense then, that in a movie where men just suck, that Thelma and Louise would turn toward each other. The movie is about the camaraderie they find in one another and the love that they share, but to say it’s a romance between them undercuts to the complexity of their relationship and the message of the film. 

The way I see it, Thelma and Louise obviously loved each other deeply. Thelma was willing to incur the wrath of her abusive husband just to spend a weekend with Louise, and likewise, Louise would’ve done anything to help Thelma survive her horrible relationship, even if it was just for a weekend. Their love not only comes from a place of caring for the other, but from the constant disappointments in their lives that drive them closer together, closer to the only thing each of them has that hasn’t disappointed them past the point of no return. That failure of everything in their lives, especially romance, is why they become so important to each other and why their love transcends a traditional romance. To box up such a connection with a label would betray what the movie stands for and everything they mean to each other.
