[@SteelRaider17]

The best thing about this movie is that it doesn't discourage girls to be themselves, to be feminine and barbie esque and still be pretty smart. Society ususally discourages women who are too girly and even if they accept them, they think they would be dumb. Like a father or mother telling their daughter that she can't become a doctor or a lawyer because she is a girl. Telling her to find something easy. This movie eliminates all the stereotypes.

i just realized, when elle was sayin her argument, at 0:59 vivian was showing discomfort while the whole class was laughing on elle, she knew Elle's argument gonna win the case before anyone else. She might look down on Elle, but she knew Elle was smart

[@lauraschoenborn3544]

It wasn't just Vivian. Warner looked uncomfortable as well. And as soon as Elle said track down all of his one night stands his mouth dropped open. He knew at that moment she won the case.

[@naninichole4996]

I also think that Warner’s ego\masculinity was shot down by Elle. Warner was used to her being the stereotypical dumb blonde and throughout the movie she was becoming more professional and breaking that ideology; he felt borderline threatened by her. He even told her she was never going to make it as a lawyer. When Elle won the case against Chutney; Warner came running back to her. Elle just had prove to herself that she was “Jackie” along.

[@alicedamiano7718]

She's rolling her eyes. The way I read it, she automatically went eye rolling because Elle was speaking, just because it was Elle, no matter how stupid or brilliant her reasoning was. She's bullying her through body language. And when the prof congratulates Elle, the three of them (Warner, Vivian and her friend) act surprised. They were just expecting everyone, including the prof, to ridicule her. I don't think any of them had admitted to themselves that Elle was smart. Not yet. If they are acting uncomfortable, it's because they're predending to think "Why is she even here? She's wasting Harvard's time", not "Dammit, she's smart".

[@marcelguberman]

Alice Damiano I believe you've just won your case...

[@alex-qh6tk]

The reality of bullies. Bullies know your potential but still look down on you to drown you so reach your dreams even if people try to drag you down. I love this little touch in the movie...

[@1992eleanorrigby]

It's great how she kept her girlie character untouched by all these need-to-look-serious protocols that all students seemed to follow so to give the idea of next generation professionals; she was different and she remained so, and that was the key of her success!

[@erin5930]

She got a 179 out of 180 on her LSATs, one of the most famously difficult tests in the country, after studying for 6-8 weeks at most. Not to mention that her original score was in the 140s, so she learned and adapted her thinking and mindset so quickly that the test became a nonissue. That alone is certified genius level stuff. She was never stupid. More than that, she was always kind, attentive, adaptable, and observant. Those combined qualities are their own type of intelligence.

[@turquoisesnowflake4613]

There are theories that suggest she's on the spectrum, which would make sense given how she's able to approach problems like this. Her disability literally makes her look at an issue and say "hang on, this doesnt make sense"

[@chocolate7677]

Elle actually never took the official test before she got a 179.

[@dragon_toad]

She took practise tests though, and if she got in the 140s on what was essentially a warm up, then blitzed it on the real one, that says a lot@@chocolate7677

[@KitsunenoHibi]

The fact that everyone was stunned when she made her point and it was a good one was a little sad.... but the genius guy nodding in agreement after she began to elaborate made me smile. He picked up on her argument and realized that not only was it a valid defense for the parents, it put toxic male "stud" culture in its place. And not only did he recognize what she was saying, he agreed. That simple nod said "Yeah, she's right."

[@obliviouz]

Neither of their arguments is good. Harassment is still harassment - attempting contact can be harassment if done wrongfully. Elle's argument also makes zero sense. You don't lose rights just because you don't try to enforce all of your rights all the time. You can absolutely enforce your rights selectively. And there's no abandonment unless there is a child.

@@sleepytimesounds2689 Her argument was literally that unless he contacted the parents of every child, he can't contact the parents of this child. That's a BS argument. You don't waive your rights just because you don't always enforce them.

[@dtawnaal]

@@obliviouz Her argument from my understanding is that he donated a lot of sperm, but he's only after this one sperm that led to a baby so Elle is saying his defense would make sense if at least he kept a thorough record of all of the other sperm donations to see if they made a baby and kept contact with those other babies, because otherwise, it would be abandoning those other kids- reckless abandonment. At least that's what I understood.

[@keeptaiwanfree]

Agreed! The definition of food film directing-it’s all in the details.

[@dnahubs]

Thinking about it, the reason why Elle was able to own those academic snobs is because they saw her as a dumb person. In reality, Elle is nothing of the sort. Her lifestyle prior to her going to Harvard just kept her *indifferent* to learning, so when she finally decided to apply herself she showed how intelligent she really was.

[@angelat5554]

also the fact that she had a 4.0 grade average in fashion merchandising which is basically business studies specific to the fashion industry

[@ghosty918]

She never changed her stance on learning, she excelled in everything academic that was required for her previous life goal. She knew a lot about fashion, textiles, business relating to fashion, high end stores, haircare, and more that was all learned. Then she decided to go law school and a new set of academic requirements enters her field of view, and is immediately focused on.

i wouldn’t say that someone with a 4.0 GPA was *indifferent* to learning (even if it was “only” fashion merchandising; which is business, so....) she was also the president of her sorority which took time and effort. maybe indifferent to things like law, but she was clearly driven in academics before

Because it was trendy to be “not like other girls” and look down on girls who were stereotypically feminine. Especially back in the 00s. They always pitted the “girl who’s not like the others” against the “stereotypical feminine girl” who was dubbed the “mean girl.” The movie Mean Girls called attention to this and expressed to girls not to allow society to pit us against each other.

I’m really happy Mr. Andrews survived the Titanic and made it to America

[@prachisrivastava2054]

I love how unapologetic she is about who is she is..just take her as she is..she is smart n beautiful

[@Nadasei1234]

The fact that she wasn’t just in the books all the time and experienced other things in life helped her to think outside the box. I don’t think she is less or more smart than the other students, she just has a different skill set. That’s what education system needs to work on, in value the different forms of intelligence each student brings to the table instead of trying to make us all fit in one mold.

[@lexiechans]

Just noticed how Bruiser was with her in class, would be nice if in Harvard you could really do that

[@H81234]

Such a good dog. Doesn't make a peep during her classes.

[@annanabil73]

Service animals or emotional support animals are allowed in schools if you have documents for them.

[@lexiechans]

@@annanabil73 yeah, but Bruiser didn't fit in that category

[@kurtlim7]

i love how her resume is pink and scented. hahaha!

[@ItsRissaBaabbyy]

"Do think she just got up one morning and said I think I'll go to law school" 😂😂😂 That's exactly how it happened!

[@holiday197]

This scene shows that Elle outsmarted Callahan as he was agreeing with Warner’s interpretation before Elle made her case. It demonstrates that Elle was smart enough to go toe-to-toe with even one of the state’s best lawyers and that she had really strong career potential.

[@stepanserdyuk4589]

"Reckless abandoment". Hilarious!

[@saragloria53]

Reese witherspoon is so very inspiring and intelligent

[@HeyItsSarah30]

(After Callahan hands Emmett the resume) que Emmett: "Guess she got a chip on her shoulder Maybe some wise man told her With the chance we've been given We gotta be driven as hell. She was something to see there I was happy I could be there First big test and she aced it She's so close she can taste it She got a chip on her shoulder Guess you never can te-e-ell With little miss Woods comma Elle!!!!"🎵

Love that song

[@angeliquemariel1497]

Hell YESSS!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@andreadowning3991]

I love this scene because she just won her case and embarrassed her ex

[@arpitanayak3753]

"oh and its scented"😂😂😂 loved this scene

[@bluebellrose8]

I loved the whole scene in general and all the groans at the end. It gives a glimpse of the scope of law, ethics and accountability. That nothing is clear cut. This film inspires me to study law:)

[@yourparentsdivorceattorney3333]

I’m glad that the professor didn’t laugh at her during her explanation and took the time to listen

[@worldlit1146]

Love how David Kidney was the only one NOT laughing at her. Always rooting for her.

[@esem1367]

This movie is so cute, and awesome, Elle woods a legend.

[@arrvellpendelton3020]

That lil growl by the dog get me everytime I watch this classic

[@doinalright4552]

Elle is intelligent, smart, beautiful, kind and humble. I don't know why any guy in his right mind would dump her.

[@travet1000]

I just love how she carries around her doggie!!

[@l.r5770]

Women need to adopt masculine traits to excel in male-dominated fields or they are not taken seriously. Love this. Be yourself, girls!

[@sugarlee7648]

My daughter was told this for a science fair by the head of special programs in Plano ISD. Made me ill. “It’s brilliant but you need to use boy colors or no one will take you seriously.”

[@l.r5770]

@@sugarlee7648 yup! Sad reality. I took a speech course in college and we were told to not draw attention to our femininity while giving speeches. Because doing so will make us less believable. So for example if you can wear your hair up do that and if you can’t don’t fidget with your hair. Talk in a lower tone ect

[@CatScratchy]

They don't/won't/can't make movies like this anymore 😢

[@KanishQQuotes]

Love the fact that none of elles friends try to stop her. They just ask her "are you sure about this" and she says yes Then they help her through it

[@riverjordan2725]

I personally would have liked to see scenes of Elle helping them out. IIRC, her Friends always supported her, and never the other way around. Even in a deleted scene, they comfort her after Warner dumps her rather than propose (The Director deleted this scene because he felt it would be too heavy handed, shame he deleted it, it is a nice scene. 😩

[@seonhostwinsister7590]

Yep the “You re thinking like a lawyer” is different with “You just won a case”.

[@maroonafernandez3908]

Who else loves Reese? She is so beautiful and charismatic!

[@kookitoe9738]

We love a character that stands out. Look at her computer compared to all of the other ones.
