one of the favorite things about this movie is that they didn’t make elle’s group of friends toxic. they truly want the best for her and that’s such a nice change from other feminine movies

Yesss Like there was a bit of a risk of it potentially going the 'its ok to be pretty only if youre also very smart and into academics at the same time' route, but no, her friends were kinda comic reliefs but the movie never put down girls who dared to be girly while not being the brightest (while ALSO not putting girls down who were the opposite!!), they were always 101% nice and supportive And Emmet, he and their romance lowkey had a small role but that was actually a good thing. The best kind of husband material is the guy you can just be friends with, who sees and appreciates you as a person above all and trusts in your capabilities. And who you enjoy being around, and you support eachother, but you don't complete eachother, because you're both already full people on your own. You can have a relationship with a good man in your life and still have him not be the focus of it!! So glad they took the risk and put him more in the background, and only annouced their relationship in a line during the graduation scene a few years later having basically all the romance happen off-screen. Never had to do any grand romantic gestures either, just being a good friend with mutual romantic interest was enough. And he was a good guy that got along with Elle from the start, she didn't 'need' to make him better!! And he didn't have to 'win' her. Ofc they helped eachother improve a bit, no one is perfect, but it was in normal and relatively small ways. They have a normal, believable, healthy adult relationship with eachothers best interest in mind, like how all the other friendships she has and makes troughout the movie (other than 2 characters who get their ass handed to them for it) are based on mutual support and respect. It doesn't matter how girly or formal your friends are, how smart or ditzy, the specifics of the relationship, as long as you enjoy eachothers company and treat eachother genuinely well that's all that matters. Elle building such a supportive friend group of Harvard students while also still having a supportive friendgroup of sorority girls was so beautiful. And one isn't portrayed as necessarily better than the other, just different. So much subtle things that are only noticeable when you compare it to other movies

And in the court scene she could say the rules of perming your hair off the top of her head! It's another layer of the movie that shows that "girly" and "shallow, vain" interests still requires a lot of knowledge and intelligence.

I was in high school when this movie came out. Keep in mind: this was released around the same time Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson made a fortune banking on the "dumb blonde" caricature. That tactic was successful because hyperfeminine women are so commonly ridiculed. They're dismissed as airheaded, frivolous, and shallow. They're mocked for things such as being drawn to pink girlie things, or squealing when they're excited, or caring way too much about their eyebrows. *This movie was so ahead of its time.* Elle Woods is aware of the disdain for her, and she even tries to tone down her personality to "fit in," but in the end she embraces her personality and makes it work. She was a Gen Z icon during the age of millennials who hadn't quite gotten the memo yet. I salute you, Elle Woods!

The musical came out when I was in high school, and while it’s a good musical in terms of entertainment (yes, I do still have the soundtrack memorized, shut up) it doesn’t do Elle justice AT ALL. It sacrifices a lot of her autonomy and work ethic in order to give others (mostly Emmett) something to do, and glosses over her intelligence and frankness because a goofy musical with lots of heavy numbers doesn’t have time to dive that deeply into her personality (plus, they likely assume everyone’s already seen the movie, so they get the gist).

aww elle’s little “i love costume parties” is so wholesome and cute, they’re so awful for tricking her like that

At 2:16 when you know he is no longer worth your time.

I also really liked her relationship with Emmet, how he always supported her no matter what and he actually respected her and saw her as an equal. And I also liked how their relationship wasnt the main event of the movie, he is just like a bonus. I think that their relationship of mutual respect and admiration is super healthy and one of the best "chick flick" relationships ever. Even on the second movie (which is a bit worse and def not as iconic) he is so devoted to her and knows her worth. Idk I just love this movie. Its my comfort movie🥺💕

I like how Elle doesn’t apologise for being ‘girly’ or too effeminate. She does her job and she does it in a way that works for her.

Simple story line but it’s relatable what makes this movie is incredible 😭 how I miss good 2000s movies 🍿

Can we acknowledge that this movie was made TWENTY YEARS AGO in 2001 and is a million times more relevant today than the movies being released in 2021? Either this movie and its underlying themes were absolutely ahead of their times or we regressed as a society and un terms of movies.

in a weird way elle has always been an inspiration to me. i was treated the same way when i joined AP classes my junior year of hs. my ex friends never thought i could do it and that i was too stupid to do it. so the first time one of them asked me “ur taking 4 AP and 2 honor classes..?” and i literally kid u not responded w elle’s iconic line (1:20) “what like it’s hard?” best moment ever

Good for you, don’t let them give you impostor syndrome

When I first watched this movie, I didn't realise her wardrobe choice was sort of a metaphor for her character. She started out as pink but considering switching the colour to make herself different for her proposal - which kinda showed her eagerness to please others despite her own preference. Then she got to harvard and she dressed like a peacock but was not given any respect by her classmates or teachers. She eventually dialed down her clothing colour to more neutral and professional black, all the way to when assisting in Callaghan's case. Almost as if she was dialling herself down consciously in order to gain respect from others. But when she realised it never worked to begin with, she switched back to her bubblegum pink clothing as if she was done trying to impress others

The way she helped the nerdy guy - my absolute favorite scene!

One thing about the guidance consular scene is that law school would be interested in her major since it’s unique and the fashion industry need lawyers

SHES SUCH A GIRLBOSS😕❤️❤️

One of my favourite movies ❤

Elle was a BOSS before Law school, after going she just overly out shined everyone else. She's totally inspirational ans confident

She literally helped me realize you Can be so feminine and still be smart. Don’t let others tell you otherwise

2:37 the way she screams “ME!” will always make me laugh 😭

At the restaurant scene with Warner I thought "WOW, she's so cringy" and at the end of the movie I thought "She is ICONIC!!"

the assumption that women who are into fashion are dumb is so weird. even as a kid, i found it weird (and I wasn’t into fashion at all). you need to understand things like colour coding, patterns, what goes with what, designers, the worth of a clothing item so you can determine wether it’s worth it to buy it or not, the sizes, etc.

Ikr, even for 2d art I almost always have to have a calculator on hand to make sure the proportions stay balanced. At my show, it the art classes there were more students in the science and economics categories than in the strictly art ones. What clothing articles are flattering on you need knowledge to be in harmony with your body etc. Even sleevelength or skirt tightness make a world of difference. And there arent any clear cut rules, so much vague stuff that you just kinda have to know and have a feeling for in the moment. Even by deviding bodies in like 14 categories there are still so much outlier, so you have to know everything for each specific trait and each combination of traits. Dressing yourself stylefully is already an art on it's own, let alone MAKING clothes, let alone making clothes etc that you want to SELL.

Who the hell calls fashion weird ?! Everything we wear (regardless of gender) is fashion! Fashion gives a powerful statement of a person and what it represents them

​@@juanchoresultay2704 some people in the modern day view fashion as being a "vapid" and "no substance" interest for women in particular to have, mainly due to misinterpretation, internalized misogyny and fast fashion/mall culture

The second Elle asked what fabric it was, the lady should’ve gave up.

Legally Blonde walked So Barbie could run

1:15 I love how she says “law school 🤪”

I really love Elle Woods' fighting spirit and she is so genuine with herself and also to anyone. And she really know what women empowerment and sisterhood is.

Her energy & quick comebacks that weren’t what you’d expect make her character extremely loved. Let’s all let our inner Elle out 👏👏👏

I love how this film played with the image of the "girly girl." It's still one of a kind.

THE BEND AND SNAPPPPP 😂❤️

Hey, This video has started to get ALOT of attention which I'm so grateful for. I'd request you to check out my other videos too :) Thank you

there's just something about the 2000s movies' dialogue's audio quality that really makes them nostalgic.

throughout Hollywood the feminine character was always demonised, and the "cool girl" was masculine. I love this film so much that you don't have to compromise your femininity to be powerful

love how it's not at all self-centered when she screams ''ME!'' when she got the internship she worked so hard for, like yes you deserve this, be proud and enjoy without feeling guilty about it

The scenes where she pretends that guy has broke her heart just to help him out and then the next time he sees her he gets a book off a high shelf for her are one of my fav parts from the film

i really miss this type of movies. the type that shows being feminine isn’t bad

Elle is so kind hearted too 💓 Like how she refuses to use "dyke" or how she helps the nail tech to win back her life or how she ultimately becomes friends with Vivian after giving her a chance ❤ she's what I want to be

Her comebacks were ✨️elite✨️

This shit literally boost my confidence

I would be so flattered if a guy would break up with me claiming I'm more of a Marilyn than a Jackie. All due respect to Jackie, she was classy, clever and respectful but Marilyn was a legendary goddess.

Even while she’s uncovering the case of the murderer she still complements her bone structure and perm curls! That’s how you be feminine without putting other women down even if they’re in the wrong

I love this movie SO damned much! It's one of the best pick-me-up, comfort movies. Reese is just adorable. And really kinda badass!

Elle Woods is the reason why I am a lawyer today. And I am not kidding. 😅

Yay!

I swear, she is my idol! She knows her strengths and her power, and that makes her the smartest person in the room.

One of the best female characters ever, you don't have to loose your individuality just to show you're smart and can be successful ❤️

Ugh, I love her for so many reasons. She showed that girls can be pretty and smart! She showed that even when people are mean/catty to you, you should treat them with kindness and see the good in people. She showed that even when things get tough you must persevere and remain true to your convictions.

I love this movie. Elle just proves that intelligence shows itself in different ways. She's also so sweet and confident in who she is.

OKAY BUT CAN WE ALSO TALK ABOUT WHEN SHE WAS DEFENDING THAT EXERCISE TEACHER (I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME SORRY) SHE PROMISED NOT TO TELL ANYONE THAT SHE HAD BEEN GETTING SURGERY AND THAT SHE WAS ALSO GETTING SURGERY ON THAT DAY AND ELLE MANAGED TO WIN THE CASE WITHOUT BRINGING THAT UP. QUEEN SHIT.

She's already cross examining in the first scene without knowing anything about what lawyers do. Iconic queen.

I love how this started as a war over a man but Elle found a career, a best friend and a partner instead! ❤

“So you’re breaking up with me because I’m too…. BLONDE?!” Her delivery on that is just perfect 😂😂

I love the fact that she is so feminine ans she’s also blonde, but the writers didn’t make her character stupid or mean, because that’s how people excpect feminine girls to be. She is feminine but she’s a girlboss. She is the true definition of “beauty and brains“

Its true. Im blonde and I can admit I am naturally beautiful, and i feel like every time I am the new girl at a job people are always so standoffish & weird towards me. Ive been told by multiple ppl they thought I would be a stuck up B word and stupid, but they were totally wrong. Talk about pretty privilege. Everyone I meet automatically hates me.

She is an icon, she is a legend and she is the moment, now come on now!

I love how she stayed true to herself and even befriended Vivian. Also, that scene where she walks into the courtroom with that outfit is simply iconic. Edit: Forgot to add that I love how she’s not portrayed as smart “despite” her interests. Her unique skills help her do things other law students couldn’t. She’s able to connect with Brooke, which she wouldn’t be able to do without her sorority past and love for staying in shape. Her interest in hair care helps her disprove Chutney’s alibi. We see this early on in her conversation with the woman trying to sell her an overpriced dress. Her skills beyond law aren‘t useless, and that’s so powerful for a movie to show.

elle woods is an icon

2:05 that part when she says: "oh, I like ur outfit except when I dress up as a frigid bi*ch I try not to look so constipated" my g it kills me

Legally blonde is a classic

1:20 "What, like, it's hard?" Probably my fave part of the movie along with "bend and snap, works every time"

She nailed the Elle Woods character masterfully 😊

Reese Witherspoon is ICONIC. All the Roles She Has Portrayed, Very Well, and You don’t see Unsavory Stories About Her. She can Witherspoon me Anytime
