I think for a movie it's OK. We know she's the main character. So people will help her because it's her journey. Doesn't really translate to real life because people have their own lives, too. Only the people who really love us will do that. And that circle is small.

[@jhashfaghsdfsajdfjgsajgfas342]

@@TheLuigiex50I understand what you’re saying, however the reason it feels so much more influential here is the fact that in almost every movie before we consistently see girls being catty or mean towards other girls. Especially at the time when legally blonde came out, be it the middle of the “not like other girls” movement which largely led girls to demonize femininity, associate it with a lack of intelligence, and generally ignore traits of themselves to adhere to a more male dominated society. A movie like legally blonde stands tall as a movie that empowers all women as intelligent, Vivian and Elle, and all her friends aswell.

I mean, that's the point of the movie. She has a high IQ, excellent logic skills, excellent problem-solving skills, top notch attention to detail, all things that make a person intellectually above average, but because she applies it to things society considers "frivolous" no one is taking her seriously. Fun fact: I'm a psychologist and for years men scored better than women on a bunch of cognitive tests until someone figured out that it was because a lot of the questions pertained to traditionally male domains that men just had more experience and confidence with. When they switched the questions to ones of equal difficulty but pertaining to traditionally female things, the results were flipped and women scored better.

[@shawnbay2211]

As a young kid I thought Elle was silly for submitting the video, but Elle is an absolute genius. She is unbelievably proactive and academic. I was conditioned to believe gaudy people were delusional because of how movies like High School Musical portrayed Sharpay, no matter how talented she really is. Elle went above and beyond, and she was always like that before the film. It feels insulting the administration team was reluctant, even with her outstanding grades. Yes Elle is incredibly privileged and she had the support of a whole sorority while being very upper class, but I adore that as a person she was always responsible and benevolent.

[@Daniel_He09]

She is a fashion major, which means she is very well positioned to do trademark law. She has a 4.0 at CULA, which is 4.0 in UCLA in real life. That’s a 4.0 at No.1 public university and Top 15 college in the nation. She has 179 on LSAT. Her GPA and LSAT alone could’ve carried her to the T14/15 law schools with decent scholarship offerings. And if she has impressive extracurriculars even by Harvard admission standard, she is looking at full-ride at any other law school outside of YSH. She comes from a west coast wealthy upper class family which means she doesn’t need need-based aid and has all the connections she would need to succeed in the future. That’s a perfect Harvard law admit profile there.

Hopefully, she's not too discouraged by those looks. If I had a terminal illness, I'd want her to tell me. Many doctors can be unintentionally (and unfortunately, sometimes intentionally) crass and cold when telling a patient they only have a short time to live.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Elle inspired me to study law. I couldn’t finish because of certain issues I had back then, but she was such an inspiration. I also looked like her in my twenties (not so pink I went for a more goth style) I’m blonde with green eyes and petite and I wasn’t taken seriously in college (I majored in English before going to law school) because of my looks, but I proved everyone wrong and I graduated with honors, getting the highest score on my thesis. A funny story. Some years ago I got a job thanks to her. We were on a group interview and the interviewer asked us the typical question “who do you admire?” Most people mentioned people like “Mother Theresa”, “The Pope” and so on. When it was my turn, I said I admired the fictional character of Elle Woods because of her drive, her intelligence and how she proved everyone wrong by excelling in everything she put her mind into.

Honestly it’s not shocking she got into Harvard if you know the requirements of getting into an Ivy League law school. It’s not much as long as you have a good gpa and high lsat score, a fun personality and majored in a less common major it may actually help you more in that you have a fresh perspective for law school and make you stand out from other applicants. Both Yale and Harvard have recently shared their encouragement for applying to their school and not letting an lsat score or low socioeconomic background discourage you.

[@jermanietedo]

Yes we all randomly think about this video essay.

[@RickesRives]

When she says she hired a Coppola to direct this. It was definitely Sofia, lol.

[@Maxintights]

"Clearly, she's interested in music" 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂 And how the professors looks when they reach the end of the video! Dead! 🤣🤣🤣

[@denisgauthier9191]

on July 13th this movie will have its 20th anniversary

[@YaBoiDoi]

I thought that this was an actual persons harvard essay video and I was so impressed by the camera work

[@debrachambers1304]

"We've never had one before" How does he know that? Did he memorize what majors everyone admitted to Harvard has had?

[@levitatingstan6526]

Well she’s really unconventional

[@patricklindsay72]

It's not necessarily to memorize what every student's major was, to know that they didn't have a fashion major.

[@debrachambers1304]

@@patricklindsay72 Maybe I didn't phrase it properly, but that's a lot pf students to remember as not being fashion majors

[@patricklindsay72]

@@debrachambers1304 "...that's a lot of students" How many? He didn't say. So why are you assuming?

It’s just a movie

I really love that is so sweet and positive sorority ❤

[@lh9591]

I was in the sorority that the author of the book was an alum of. It was a very positive experience!

[@viveeuhn2689]

my aunt keeps replaying this movie when I was a kid and I miss this so much!

[@jeppyderudar]

will always include on the top list of my favorite moviesss ♡

[@a_cupcake]

I miss movie like this again... Like it's simple but complicated and fun

[@tuananhnguyen4983]

Can't believe they could find positive correlation between fashion and ....law.

[@peterlacasciamusic1175]

That shot at 2:44 is priceless 🤣

[@Sarasdad91]

Beautiful, talented and smart, also funny, and a friend to anybody no matter who they are. Love ya Elle.

[@springerjerry9813]

She got a nearly perfect score on her LSATs she’s one smart lady. She is so cute

[@AnaGarcia-yo9ym]

Warner: "YOU... got into Harvard???" Elle Woods: "What? Like it's hard?" What a queen! 😭 also that's a major roast for Warner considering he got waitlisted and had his father pull some strings 😅 Elle didn't know this of course.... that dang that was a good roast 😅

[@emillelee5999]

This is Francis Ford Coppola's best work yet

[@champagnemami888]

I love lawyer Elle but there’s always gonna be a part of me that wishes she stayed in LA and pursued her fashion dreams :( She seemed so happy with her friends and social life before, I just know she would’ve made an amazing designer, creative director or smth else like that.

[@key4858]

I always imagine Elle as a lawyer going against big companies producing leather garments or celebrity cases like the Johnny Depp one

[@mariahsbeaconheels4925]

The fact that she hired a Coppola to direct this. ICONIC!!!!

[@GianVersace]

179 on the LSAT?! Woah, I only made a 146 despite the sweat and tears it put me through 😅😂

[@nickgiampaolo9977]

She was in a Ricky Martin video...haha!

[@maytalacedo1284]

that video made me laugh as a kid but also bittersweet. Friendship for Elle is magic.

[@DennisSullivan-om3oo]

It reminds me of the contestant on American Idol who auditioned in a tiny bikini. The male judges loved her, the females hated her.

[@snigdhadey5062]

Wow !! Rachel's sister Jill was trying to get into Harvard. That's amazing their father must be proud ! 😂😂😂

[@LOVEAapjes]

Rachel is no longer the only sister he’s proud of!

[@joseapsantos3633]

Boa noite, um excelente filme, sensacional. Adorei o vídeo.

[@rainiceskates185]

I love how they were all with her,supporting her,helping her it's empowering not to mention the fact she stayed true to herself ❤❤❤

[@mattslupek7988]

In the scene where she slaps David after watching him get rejected by the mean girls (and I've said this in other reaction videos), my guess is that she's done this to other guys and saw it from the guy's perspective, so she helped him out because he was someone that she considered a friend. IMHO, David was too good for them.

[@Dayserking]

Her smiles at the end of every segment destroy me 😂😂😂😂

[@resulnaki]

I can't wait for 3rd one

[@josemichael8958]

The days of our lives part always gets me 😂

God, elle woods is multi talented. Her essay video shows that she also knows multimedia arts. She can design clothes, very smart as well. I want to be like her.

[@jurrasicpig2426]

"I object!"

[@janabug68]

I cannot believe this movie is 20 years old and still one of my favorites

[@oneday7574]

“You got in to Harvard?” Elle:”What like it’s hard?”

[@toastyknuckles892]

if u r someone who is asking the question, "can a seemingly vapid valley girl who focuses on shallow issues prove she is intelligent?" then according to this movie, the answer is yes. hard work and rote memorization have more to do with learning in schools than anything else. any average person can do well as long as they make attendence, do their work, pay attention and study hard. either that or it teaches us the inherent flaws in the school systems. work ethic, reliability and social networking have more to do with getting a good job, the degree is just to get you in the door.
