What I find really interesting in this film is the role of the female identity. The girls go from quite feminine to androgynous and powerful. Especially Thelma, who is rather permissive under the wrath of her husband in the beginning, and who ends up taking charge - and committing a robbery!
The female character is portrayed as being strong-willed and independent in this film. It is very much a message to men that women can be just as good as the action heroine.

Brad Pitt's character is also interesting. His image of masculinity portrays the masculine body - more importantly the chest - as being stripped and fetishized. Pamela Church Gibson refers to this as the 'carb-depletion' body!
