Crossroads

Crossroads is about three women that used to be the best of friends when they were younger, once they got into high school they drifted apart. On graduation night, they unburied their memory capsule. They decided to take a road trip, with a random man who had a car, that next day across the states; one was going to music auditions, another was going to find her biological mother, and the other was going to surprise visit her fiancé that is in college. This movie does pass the Bechdel Test. There are three women as the main characters throughout this movie, and then one male.  Each woman is completely different; there is one that is really girly, spoiled and popular, another who is super smart and is the virgin, and the other who is pregnant and unpopular. They did talk to each other about many things other than a man. Each woman was on their own mission, which is to accomplish their wish that they had put in that capsule they dug up but yes, of course there was a love story in this too. I did not think this was a feminist movie because, the three women were dependent on a man to get them to the places where they needed to be, and also to help protect them on the way. There was a scene where the group needed to make a little extra money to get the car fixed that had broken down on the way, so they stopped at a bar and participated in a singing contest. The girls dressed a little provocative and danced to get as much money as they could. They did end up winning the contest too.
