Legally Blonde

[katikat]

This movie is so good for me on a spiritual level. I just love it, the way Elle just decides to go against all odds, against everything people think of her and makes it. And she never loses her sunny attitude. It's so... so... It's perfection.

I love how at first, everybody underestimates her, nobody believes that she can actually do it. Even her parents don't think she will make it. But she's so determined - but it's still all because of a guy. But then, then she realizes she has to do it for herself and she does it with style and she makes waves and she changes the lives of so many people around her. And even though she finds the right guy at the very end, it's almost incidental, it's not what the movie is about. It's about finding yourself. And the fact that Elle and Vivian become best friends makes me just as happy as her and Emmett.

My favorite quotes were:

- Do you think she just woke up one morning and said, 'I think I'll go to law school today'?
- I've been waiting for a long time for you to say that. But if I'm going to be a partner in a law firm by the time I'm 30, I need a boyfriend who's not such a complete bonehead.
- If you're going to let one stupid prick ruin your life, you're not the girl I thought you were.

\o/ Elle is so, so awesome. I think that this is a movie that every girl should see at least once!

I saw the sequel once and... it just didn't wow me. Like, at all. It wasn't about Elle anymore, it was about politics and... yeah. Legally Blonde 2 and Speed 2 should have never happened :(
