The movie "Legal Pretty Lady" is a school comedy film produced by MGM in the United States, the film was released on July 13, 2001, the year of the investment of no more than 20 million films, but brought 124 million in revenue, in addition to the box office success, the heroine Witherston also like a rocket has become a new generation of American sweethearts loved by everyone.
The film mainly tells the story of the girl Ellie Woods in order to win the heart of her boyfriend Warner, admitted to Harvard Law School, and with her own ingenuity and hard work, she finally graduated excellently and then started a new life.
Ellie has almost everything a girl wants, she is a veritable rich second generation, with a cute pet dog, a group of friends around, living a carefree life, and has a convex and upturned devil figure, a beautiful face, is the runner-up of Miss Hawaiian Beauty Pageant, the school prom queen. In addition to being disliked by Warner for not being smart enough, there is almost no other impeccable place in her body, but because she is not smart enough, Warner thinks that she is just a vase with a big chest and no brain, so she is dumped.
Ellie's dream in life is to marry Warner and become Warner's wife. When Ellie dressed up at the dinner invited by Warner, thinking that Warner was going to propose to herself, even if I wanted to say it, but Warner said that she was going to break up, you can imagine how much of a blow to Ellie.
Coming from an aristocratic East Coast family, Warner wanted to become a councillor at the age of 30, so he married a celebrity, not a blonde movie star. In his eyes, Ellie was just a vase, so he dumped Ellie and went to Harvard Law School, during which Time Warner reunited with his ex-girlfriend Vivian, who also studied at Harvard Law School, Warner also put a six-carat diamond ring on her hand, and the ex-girlfriend transformed into a fiancée, and Ellie naturally became the dumped ex-girlfriend.
On the other hand, Ellie, who was still immersed in the pain of lost love, accidentally saw warner's eldest brother engaged from a magazine, and the betrothed was a woman who was ugly and deformed (in the words of a big mother who read a magazine with Ellie next to her), but the woman was a law student at Yale University.
Ellie's eyes lit up, and she suddenly found her own direction in life, Warner was going to marry a law school graduate, so she was going to Harvard Law School.
When she said what she thought, everyone around her, including her parents and friends, was stunned by her, in their eyes, the law school people were ugly, serious, dull, and majoring in fashion purchasing, all of which exuded fashion, and all that was lively and brash, and free and free was simply incompatible. But in order to win back Warner's heart, Ellie began preparing for Harvard Law School. With a passing line of 175 points, in the end, Ellie scored 179 points, plus captured the hearts of many Harvard board members with her beauty and figure, and successfully enrolled.
On the first day of school, Ellie wore a pink leather dress, a pair of pointed high-heeled boots, a pair of orange and red brilliant sunglasses, holding her pet dog out of the Porsche sports car, next to a large truck full of her own luggage, immediately attracted the attention of all the students around, they looked at Ellie as if they were looking at an exotic species, because their dress was almost all black or gray, serious and dull, and Ellie was extremely flamboyant, and there was a Barbie doll below.
In the first class, Ellie was invited out of the class by the professor (but the professor woke up Ellie and successfully saved a good lawyer) because she did not prepare for the class, but she also "got lucky" and met a boy Emmett who provided him with various class guides. Emmett was a very good boy, the top three in the class, still the editor of the "Harvard Law Review", also helped Professor Callahan in the school to do research, and later always supported and encouraged and helped Ellie at key moments, and the two eventually achieved positive results (this is the last word).
Later, Ellie runs into Warner and Vivian at school. Vivian knows Ellie, out of mocking Ellie's brainlessness and showing off herself and swearing sovereignty, so Vivian is everywhere obstructive, "stimulating" Ellie, and showing off her six-carat diamond ring all the time. After learning the truth, Ellie is sad and sad, but she is also actively fighting back against Vivian with her own wisdom, she is by no means a vase that is bullied by others but has no power to fight back.
At a party, Wei Wei'an deliberately deceived Ellie and described the daily party as a makeup party, and as a result, when Ellie appeared at the party dressed as a sexy rabbit, she became the laughing stock of everyone. What was most embarrassing to her was that Warner bluntly said that Ellie wasn't smart enough (it was the first time Warner had been so blunt that Ellie wasn't smart enough) and that she couldn't have gotten a place as a trainee for Professor Callahan and that she could have done better. The implication is that Harvard Law School is not suitable for Ellie, this is the circle of smart people, she should return to her fashion circle, why suffer for herself?
This is really stimulating Ellie, do you think I don't deserve you? Ellie asked Warner with tears in her eyes, this time she was serious. Ellie immediately turned away, she wanted to prove how useful she would be, not a brainless vase, so she began her own journey of fighting chicken blood.
Ellie herself is a very smart, brain-wielding person, coupled with her own hard work, her performance in the school is becoming more and more prominent, often overshadowing Warner and Vivian in the classroom, and successfully got the apprenticeship of Professor Callahan. The trainees also included Warner, Vivian and Emmett.
The probationary stage came as promised, during which everyone fought a lawsuit over a murder case, and the defendant accused of murder, Brooke, happened to be a member of the same association as Ellie, and Ellie was also a student in her bodybuilding class, and the two knew each other. Just when all the evidence points to Boggy's killer, Ellie decisively sided with Brooke, but her reasons seemed ridiculous to the law, her reasons being that exercise produces fun brain gelatin, and happy people don't kill people. Of course, such a reason is simply untenable in the face of the law.
The legal team needed Brooke to provide alibi evidence, but Pochy could only repeat over and over again that she had not killed anyone, and stressed that she would never provide alibi, and everyone was helpless. In the process of communicating with Brooke alone, Brooke said that she was indeed not present because she had gone to liposuction surgery. But in court, Brooke could not provide such alibi, because she ate on her body, and if she let the public know that her perfect body was watery, she would be ruined. Out of commitment and righteousness, Ellie did not reveal the reason for Boji's absence, but only insisted that Boji was not present.
Just when the case reached an impasse, Professor Callahan had another moth on his side, and he called Ellie into the office, showing the idea of coveting Ellie's beauty, beating her idea, and shamelessly suggesting that Ellie would exchange her beauty for a future. Ellie left in a huff, ready to return to Hawaii, the legal circle of fairness and justice that she had originally longed for, there will also be places to hide dirt and dirt, and can she become an apprentice, is it only because of her beauty? Ellie couldn't accept that others would deny her abilities, just as Warner said she wasn't smart enough.
Just as Ellie was saying goodbye to her friend and preparing to go home, the professor mentioned above who had invited Ellie out of the classroom received a divine assist, and she said to Ellie, "If you let a stinky man ruin your life, you are not the girl I think." Ellie was awakened by this sentence, returned to the legal team, and successfully squeezed out Professor Callahan to become Boji's new representative lawyer.
During the interrogation session in the courtroom, almost all the people except those who stood on Ellie's side were watching Ellie's jokes, and she had no experience in court, and at first she could only repeat the witness in the shower over and over again, speaking intermittently and without logic, but at this time, Emmett had been encouraging and affirming her with his eyes. Then, at the brightest moment of Ellie's life, she hung up.
In the cross-examination session, some questions that seem to have no value are getting closer and closer to the truth in Ellie's step-by-step cross-examination and inference. At the beginning, the vase that was not good at speaking, but the beads and cannons threw out a bunch of questions to question the witness, and the logic and inference were so tight that they did not leak, so that the witnesses completely followed their own rhythm and had the ability to control the field. Last sentence, so you kill him! Successfully guided the witness to slip his mouth, and finally came to the earth-shattering secret, the witness is the murderer.
Ellie was stunned, and everyone present was stunned, in round after round of oh my god! In the repetition, the case is revealed, the witnesses are detained, and Poggie is acquitted.
Later in the film, Ellie successfully graduated as an outstanding graduate, and her speech at the graduation ceremony is worth pondering: "On our first day at Harvard, a wise professor quoted Aristotle as saying that 'law is a reason without passion', forgive me for offending Aristotle, but I have been at Harvard for many years, and I have found that passion is a key factor in learning law and life. We must dare to follow our own beliefs and a strong sense of self in order to make us face the world. Remember that first impressions are not necessarily correct, trust others, but also believe in yourself. ”
After many people watch the movie, even after watching the movie, they are complaining, and the success of the heroine is too easy, right? The protagonist's aura is too strong and so on, I will not discuss this here. But the heroine does have a lot of shining points, she has a lively and cheerful personality, even with people who are bored and dull to become friends; she is warm-hearted and helpful, helping friends to regain their love pets from her scumbag husband and help her find true love; her true temperament, never hiding her joys and sorrows; she has strong execution, and decides to go to Harvard to execute immediately; she is righteous, even in a critical moment, she does not reveal her friends' secrets; she is also serious and hardworking, bent on proving that she is not a vase with a big chest and no brains She also has a strong heart, always keeps passionate, and so on. Most importantly, she believes in herself, as she said at her graduation ceremony – trust others, and believe in herself!
The so-called luck, in fact, more from hard work, the more you work hard to get luckier.
In the film, Ellie uses her own ingenuity and hard work to turn around gorgeously, from a vase to a Harvard school bully, and opened her new life. She is lucky, but she can't deny her efforts, and even her efforts can be magnified, people who clearly don't lack anything can crush the vast majority of people, the rich second generation are working so hard, what reason do we have to be lazy?
The coolest thing in life is that you are not only beautiful, but also earn money to support your family, you are not only simple like a child, but also have a small universe that is powerful enough to explode!
