Reese Witherspoon, ‘Legally Blonde’ (2001)
Legally Blonde (2001) is considered a game-changer in the film industry, at least according to its main character, Elle Woods, played by Reese Witherspoon.
In the film, Woods is a confident and determined sorority girl who enrolls in Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend.
To achieve this, she works hard to improve her grades and scores well on the LSAT. She also submits a video essay to the admissions team, which includes a shot of her in a swimsuit at her sorority house pool.
Despite her initial struggles, Woods ultimately proves to be a talented and resourceful law student. In the end, she realizes that her success is not dependent on a man’s approval, and that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to.
