In the past few years, there have been more and more TV series or movies about the heroine, and more and more people are paying attention to women's hearts, women's situation in society and women's growth .
Whenever this kind of topic is discussed, I can't help but think back to that American movie " Legally Blonde ", for me, this is the first one I have seen, with a female protagonist 's film, the heroine Al Woods, her hard-working, self-improvement image left a deep impression on me.
"Legal Beauty", released in 2001, mainly tells the story of the girl Al Woods who was abandoned by her boyfriend. The story of being out of place at the beginning, to conquering everyone with his kindness, hard work and integrity, fighting against various ugly phenomena, and finally graduating from Harvard and determined to be an excellent lawyer.
I rewatched the movie again this year and I couldn't help but have a new experience.
1, who said beautiful girls have no brains?
In the context of the era in the United States, a girl with blonde hair, big breasts, and fair skin looks like a Barbie doll. In people's stereotype , this is the representative of brainless. But Legally Blonde tries to break that stereotype, showing us that pretty girls can be smart too.
One of the opening scenes shows Al Woods' cleverness. When Al was buying new clothes for a date with her boyfriend, a salesperson thought that Al was a brainless vase and wanted to sell the out-of-season clothes to Al at the original price, but Al soon saw it through, and used extremely high prices. professional approach.
Ayr looks like a vase, but in fact, in her own field, she has a strong memory and observation, as well as the accumulation of related knowledge, she is not an ordinary vase, but sexy and brain coexist Goddess of beauty.
And later, Al discovers that the best way to get her boyfriend back is to become a Harvard Law student, so she sets that goal right away and sets out to do it at the same time.
However, when she told her parents and friends about such a goal, everyone did not believe her very much and were suspicious of her. Even in such a situation, she remained on target. As adults, we know how hard it is to have that kind of determination.
She gave up her usual entertainment and devoted herself to the entrance exam. In just one month, she got a high score of 179, which is enough to show Aile's IQ and hard work. In the end, he also got an offer from Harvard in his own unique way. It has been 21 years since
"Legal Blonde", the status of women in society has changed a lot, but many people's stereotypes about women still exist. But more women are becoming independent and no longer dependent on men.
Carnegie said in the book "Women's Patterns Determine the End": "Economically independent women have the ability to create happiness, they do not need to please and depend on men."
Independent women are getting smarter and more The more beautiful you are, the happier you are.
2, Loving yourself is more important
Al started out to save his ex-boyfriend from going to Harvard Law School. At a party, his ex-boyfriend told Al nonsense: "This is not for you, you are not smart enough, you should Go where it suits you better."
This time, Ayr was stimulated, and Ayre decided to work hard to prove himself. Buy a computer, study, read books, go to the library.
When I saw this, I suddenly found out what a strong person Al is. She didn't think she was a brainless vase without being brainwashed by her ex-boy. She wanted to prove herself more and pay for it. actions.
In the classroom, Al answered the professor's questions tentatively from the beginning. Smart, really powerful action.
It was during this growing process that Al began to appreciate the joy of being a lawyer, and she gradually understood that a girl not only needs love, but also needs to know how to respect herself and live for herself. When you find the value of existence, you will be proud of creating a wonderful life.
3, written at the end
"Legal Blonde" was released in the United States in 2001. It was a huge success and deeply touched the hearts of female audiences, because we women can't wait to prove ourselves, we are not brainless We don't want to be a good wife and mother who will only sacrifice ourselves.
Although this movie is 21 years old, I think it still has charm today. When I rewatched it, I found that there were too many messages from girls in 2022, 2021, and 2020 in the barrage. They all praised Al and hoped that they could be as smart and beautiful as Al, and more importantly, Sober and confident, you can also engage in business with a strong heart.
Beginning with Song Dynasty Binding feet, women's lives are almost imprisoned. After liberation, the road to women's liberation begins, but the concept of thousands of years is deeply ingrained, and change does not happen overnight. Movies 20 years ago often Look at Changxin, we are working hard a little bit. But no matter when, I hope all girls will remember that it is more important to love yourself.
