Legally Blonde (2001)

👱‍♀️👙💼

Based on the fictional novel by Amanda Brown, this comedy film stars Reese Witherspoon as sorority girl Elle Woods who decides to enroll at Harvard Law School to try to win back the guy who broke up with her.

The supporting cast includes: Luke Wilson as junior attorney Emmett Richmond, Selma Blair as overachieving law student Vivian Kensington, Matthew Davis as Elle’s boyfriend Warner Huntington III, Jennifer Coolidge as manicurist Paulette Bonafonté, Victor Garber as the arrogant Professor Callahan and Holland Taylor as the stern yet inspiring Professor Stromwell. What’s more, the canine star of the film is a chihuahua named Moonie who plays Elle’s pet dog Bruiser.

Reese Witherspoon radiates just the right amount of witty pep and nuanced energy to take on the role of a sunny but determined blonde who goes from majoring in fashion merchandising to studying practice of law. Luke Wilson plays a mild-mannered character who doesn’t judge Elle for her perceived superficiality. Selma Blair as Vivian is portrayed as both a total snob and (later) a supportive colleague. Jennifer Coolidge is priceless in her portrayal of a self-conscious yet brassy woman who becomes a trustworthy confidante. Bruiser (the dog) is quite the precious attention-stealer as Elle treats him like a human being and carries him around wherever she goes.

The movie (along with the original novel) is an introduction of overturning discrimination against blonde stereotypes. Elle Woods is first seen expecting a marriage proposal from her long-term boyfriend Warner, only to be dumped since he saw her blonde identity as a burden to his future aspirations and (more importantly) his familial expectations of being a senator. Elle then puts her mind to work on her pursuit in becoming serious enough to not just prove her former beau wrong, but also to fight for the dignity of other blondes. However, she realizes that fitting in at Harvard is a lot harder than she thought it would be.

The story even contrasts Elle’s frivolous Southern California lifestyle with the intellectual tradition of her East Coast peers. For instance, Elle is fooled into wearing a Playboy Bunny outfit for a “costume party” in Cambridge. Not only that, but she finds Warner engaged to the preppy Vivian Kensington as his preference of an intelligent woman, igniting the old blonde vs. brunette rivalry (otherwise known as the beauty vs. brains dichotomy).

Throughout the course of the film, Elle sets out to change societal beliefs about blondes being too shallow to be smart or have a care in the world. Along the way, she defends fellow blonde/sorority sister/role model Brooke Taylor-Windham being accused of murder. What’s more, the hostility between Elle and Vivian gradually ceases as they come to see past their external differences.

The soundtrack contains a list of both original songs and cover versions of classic hits. The track list includes: “We Could Still Belong Together” by Lisa Loeb, “Watch Me Shine” by Joanna Pacitti, “Sex Machine” (a cover version of the James Brown song) by Mya and “One Girl Revolution” by Superchick to name a few. But one specific original song that plays as the theme of the film is “Perfect Day” by Hoku. Moreover, Elle helps Paulette to get the attention of her crush (a UPS delivery man) by teaching her a particular move called the “Bend and Snap”, during which the whole salon joins in.

Lastly, the memo of the whole storyline is you don’t need to change your identity, but to commit yourself to the fullest to achieve great potential. In Elle Woods’ case, she is able to rely on her looks, optimism and deep intelligence to succeed. That said, I justifiably recommend this solid girl-power movie to every fan of Reese Witherspoon.

If anyone were to ask how I came up with this, here’s my response: “What, like it’s hard?”

CATALYST JOURNAL

The scholarship on the civil rights movement has increasingly moved away from a focus on political economy. In this interview, Doug McAdam recounts the context in which he wrote his classic book, Political Process and the Development of Black Insurgency, 1930–1970, and how the evacuation of class analysis has changed the field.

Interview by jeff Goodwin

In the scholarship on the civil rights movement, Doug McAdam’s work has played a pioneering role. His 1982 book Political Process and the Development of Black Insurgency, 1930–1970 — a classic in the field of sociology — presents a primarily materialist explanation of the civil rights movement. His book Freedom Summer, about the struggle in Mississippi in 1964, won the C. Wright Mills Award in 1990. And he is the coauthor, with Sidney Tarrow and Charles Tilly, of the influential 2001 book Dynamics of Contention, which argues that social movements, revolutions, riots, and rebellions are related forms of “contentious politics.” McAdam’s later works cover issues ranging from environmental activism to political polarization.

Political Process and the Development of Black Insurgency, which grew out of McAdam’s doctoral dissertation at Stony Brook University, is far and away the most frequently cited academic book — or book of any kind — on the US civil rights movement, with over ten thousand citations. The book has also had an enormous influence on social science theorizing about social movements and the broader field of contentious politics.

Political Process develops a “political process model” to explain the civil rights movement. Scholars have subsequently applied this model to a wide range of social movements. The model emphasizes the importance of three factors for the emergence and dynamics of social movements: political opportunities, formal and informal organization, and what McAdam calls “cognitive liberation.” But these factors are, in a sense, secondary to McAdam’s main argument — for lurking behind them are more fundamental political-economic forces and class interests.

The longest chapter in McAdam’s book argues that it was the changing political economy of the South — the decline of cotton and the rise of urban industrial and service-sector employment — that led to the overthrow of Jim Crow and caste (but not class) oppression. As McAdam makes clear in this interview, Marxist scholars like Michael Schwartz (one of his dissertation advisers) and Jack Bloom led him to incorporate political economy into his explanation of the civil rights movement.

Ironically, this core element of McAdam’s theoretical perspective would be forgotten (or willfully ignored) by subsequent scholars. Political Process is mainly remembered for the concept of political opportunities — or what some would call “political opportunity structure” or POS — not for its more fundamental political-economic analysis.

For the most part, political economy remains marginal to sociological studies of social movements, at least in the United States, up to the present day. The Marxist roots of political process theory have been almost totally forgotten.

McAdam recently sat down with Jeff Goodwin to discuss the origins of his interest in civil rights and the influence of Marxism and political economy on his work on the civil rights movement.

Goodwin | Where did your interest in the civil rights movement originate, biographically speaking?

McAdams | I was born in 1951. I don’t know why, but I was always very attuned to politics and current events. I was only eight at the time of the lunch counter sit-ins in 1960, and I don’t remember being aware of them at the time. But the other major campaigns of the civil rights movement — Birmingham, Freedom Summer, Selma — were exploding on television when I was twelve, thirteen, fourteen years of age. I remember watching the Democratic National Convention in 1964. It was gavel-to-gavel coverage. They even showed some of the credential committee hearings with Fannie Lou Hamer, and she was so clearly standing for a just cause. That was seared into my brain as a kid.I graduated high school in 1969 and was already somewhat involved in the antiwar movement. I went to college and played basketball at Occidental College, but I took a leave every spring to work for a coalition of peace churches on the West Coast, where I’m from. I remember going to DC to lobby for an end to the draft in spring of 1970 and 1971 and organizing on college campuses around the resistance in 1972. And I had no illusions. I somehow understood that the touchstone struggle had been civil rights, and that my involvement in the antiwar movement was an extension of New Left struggles that had run from the 1960s forward. We called what we were doing “the movement.” We didn’t say “the antiwar movement.” We had a sense that all these struggles were part and parcel of the same bigger struggle. Remember that the first real antiwar critique was about race, and it came out of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). It focused on the idea that black and brown soldiers were being sent to a far-off country to kill “yellow” people. I don’t think we give the civil rights movement enough credit for kick-starting the antiwar movement.The Korean War never generated a mass opposition movement at all. So why did Vietnam? Because it occurred in the context of the civil rights movement, which had already sensitized progressives and the Left in general to the centrality of race in other areas.When I went to graduate school at Stony Brook University, Charles Perrow had just secured this big grant to study insurgency in the 1960s. And he basically said that we could study any movement associated with the ’60s and apply a given methodology. The project had been going for a year when I got there. People had chosen various movements to study. And I couldn’t believe nobody had picked the civil rights movement, the most important struggle of them all. It was the movement that launched the others.

Borowski Legacy - 1927

Amelia has not yet told anybody of her escapades with Olive. How could she? But all Amelia wanted was her mother next to her at her ceremony. Would Selma accept her the way she is? She wasn't sure.

She is reminded of the conversation they had when she was just a girl. Selma was accepting then, maybe she would be now.

"You know, you should stop smoking those things," her mother nags. "It is unladylike."

Amelia sighs. Maybe she would not understand.

"Mother, how did you know you were in love?" Amelia asks.

Selma looks surprised at the question. "Well, my dear, your father was a kind young man. He gave me a feeling in my chest that felt as though my heart was going to pound right out of my body! I could not help but smile when he was around. What I am trying to say is that if you are in love, you shall know it."

It grows silent between them again.

Selma breaks the silence. "Why do you ask, darling?"

Amelia takes a deep breath. "I am not married to Sonny, Mother."

She looks unsurprised, much to Amelia's bewilderment.

"Oh, honey," Selma says, "I knew the two of you would end up this way. You are too independent of a woman to be a wife."

"I did not love him as he loved me," Amelia says. "I cannot love a man, and I am so sick of the world saying I must. Did you never feel that way mother?"

Selma chuckles. "Every woman has felt that way. You settle into it as you grow older. You will find a man you love, Amelia."

Amelia, getting frustrated at her mother not picking up the hint, says, "I am already in love."

Selma now looks surprised. "Oh, darling! What is his name? Where is he from?"

Amelia takes a deep breath.

"Do you remember Olive Brooks?"

Selma quirks an eyebrow, "Does she have a brother? Or a..." she trails off as her daughter gives her a look. Selma knows that look anywhere. It's when she is afraid she's done something wrong. But...

Oh. Selma thinks.

"My daughter, you are not saying what I think you are saying?"

Amelia just nods. "I am, Mother."

Selma plants her face into her hands. "I am sorry, my dear. It is a lot to take in."

Amelia shakes her head. "I'm sorry."

Selma puts her hand on her daughter's face. "My girl, you have nothing to apologize for. I should have not been surprised. Boys have never interested you." She sighs. "But I fear for your safety... if this gets out..."

"I shall kill anybody who shall say anything about it." Amelia jests.

"Amelia!" Selma scolds. "This is a serious matter."

"I know. I am having a private ceremony. You are the first person I have told."

Selma pulls her daughter into a hug.

"I am just glad you told me, darling. You know no matter what, you'll always be my baby girl."

Amelia just pressed her face into her mother's shoulder, feeling like a girl again.

James L. Brooks told Julia Kavner to voice Patty & Selma as characters "that suck the joy out of everything". Still I'll ask, why rank Patty under Selma?

PREGLED GODINE 2023.

Pregled sam započela pisati 7.11.2023. kada sam 90% toga zapravo napisala, a finalno sam uredila 1.1.2024.

Zasigurno sam nešto i (ne)namjerno izostavila, ali što ćemo kad je sve ovo subjektivnost.

Ajmo reć da je polu-poredano i po favoritima, hmm.

Ova godina je bila prožeta nostalgijom za ponovnim gledanjem određenih filmova i serija, te čitanjem knjiga. Glazba me sve manje impresionira.

Pregledavajući zapise za ovu godinu, imam osjećaj da sam sadržajno bila više fascinirana u prvoj polovici.

Skokva je namirnica godine.

Podosta smrti celebrityja nas je zateklo, kao i čudnovate vremenske (ne)prilike - od ekstremnih vrućina, do oluja i poplava.

Ratovi.

Doku:

Više dokumentaraca na goruće teme: Murdaugh murders, Hillsong church, Britney Spears i Johnyy Depp vs. Amber Heard.

Beckham

Daniel

Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me

God Bless America - kako sam tematski nazvala par doku formi koju su se dotakli stanja u USA (o oružju, drogi, imigrantima i ljubavi).

Escaping Twin Flames

Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru - ponovno gledanje

God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty

Arnold Schwarzenegger dokumentarac (i knjiga)

Ed Sheeran: The Sum Of It All

Cobain: Montage of Heck

Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me

Filmovi:

Parazit - sada sam ga bolje razumjela

Bodies Bodies Bodies i slični filmovi - ovakav žanr me zaintrigirao potkraj godine i intriga se nastavlja

No Hard Feelings

Ubojstva u Cheshireu

Saltburn

The Menu

The Devil All The Time

Blue Jean

Family Switch

SNAJKA: Dnevnik očekivanja

Klub boraca (Fight club)

Valentine i Vacancy

Purge i Vrisak, te Scary movie serijali

Mean girls, 13 going on 30 i She's the man

Sa the filmom godine Barbie pak nisam niš specijalno impresionirana.

Plan B

Serije:

Škripa metala

Wednesaday

Beef - smetnula uma što je to, pa me Youtube morao podsjetiti - brutalna serija

White Lotus

Only Murders in the Building - prve dvije sezone, druga najbolja, treća bezveze

The Bear

How To With John Wilson - završetak projekta

Dadilja - kraći rewatching

Knjige:

Knjige Otrovni roditelji i Otrovna ljubav
