What dose a blonde do when...?

A sorority president follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard law school to try to win him back. Some may say that Legally Blonde is a stupid chick flick, but I believe that the underlying message is very powerful. Elle Woods, the main character, pushes herself beyond what others believe she is capable of and is able to overcome the stereotypical views surrounding and being forced on her.

Elle is the sorority president of Delta Nu and is dating Warner Huntington III, the cutest fraternity boy on campus. She believes the relationship is progressing, but Warner dumps her for someone who is "serious," then he transfers to Harvard law school. Elle decides that she is going to go to Harvard and prove to Warner that she can be serious. Even though no one, including her parents, believes that she is good enough to be accepted to the school, she works hard and is invited to attend the university. Even once she is in the school and attending classes, no one takes her seriously. However, she is determined to continue and soon impresses her professors and classmates with her dedication. In the end she graduates at the top of her class and her fellow classmates have a renewed appreciation for her unique ways.

In the movie, Elle is able to overcome the animosity that her classmates had towards her and become close friends with those that wanted nothing to do with her in the beginning. She inspires her teachers to have an open mind towards her non-typical ways.

This movie is an inspiration for those people who are stuck in the rut that stereotypes dig for them. It shows the world that it is not your appearance nor ways of thinking, but your nature and determination that count when trying new things. It doesn't matter who you are to others, but if you believe in yourself and what you are capable of that determines how far you will get in society.
