Nearly everyone else treated Elle like she wasn't good enough for Harvard, while David and Emmett never did. Loved this scene, it was perfect for demonstrating 'I've got your back, too' to David
Mine too! Oz Perkins is Hollywood royalty- and like both his Dad and mom ( Tony Perkins and Berry Berenson) can be the perfect blend of awkward and adorable,
I agree. Her character empowers not just women, but men too. It shows that men don't need to prove themselves to nasty women like that girl, in the same way that women don't need to demote themselves for nasty men like Warner.
AHHHH it will be okay he is a playa now he will hit and run LOL serve them right, in 20 yrs he will have beautiful wife kids and living the life and they will be hanging out in dive bar wondering why they are alone LOL That is how this story ends in my mind, I am true believer in Karma
@@RT22-pb2ppI fully agree with this. I bet his future wife is a study buddy during their senior year, she is someone who brings him coffee when he is exhausted and Elle encourages them to get together.
Wasn't that part of the point for this movie, to take the rich blonde girl b*tchy bimbo and make her into a smart and kind character to bust the stereotype. Sadly many characters like that gets re-cast or re-written in a way that either breaks another stereotype or just misses the point completely. Early 2000's-2015 were great years for movies. It really felt like the people working on them cared and weren't just after the money.
Thats how girls treated me in high school. I had ZERO social life in highschool. Its supposed to be the most fun time of your life and i hated every single second of it. I do NOT look back on it fondly.
I love the way this scene mirrors the one where Warner dumps Elle. The message in both is “you’re not good enough for me.” She’s helping her friend in a situation she’s all too familiar with.
I don't see it in her nature to think of herself better and more important, try to use looks and charm to get her way. I know that was not your comment's intention.
Maybe one of them could be a one-time "starter" date, and Elle has now subtly informed him about how to, in fact, treat the girl of his dreams (whoever she may be - I agree, probably not one of these girls) whenever she does come along, so he will have had some practice.
Well maybe she came around and actually liked him. He just got a date, and she may very well change her mind about him and think she was initially harsh. That's up to him whether or not to stick around after that date 😊 It would suggest that he intentionally goes after women who reject him if he doesn't, which signals that he has issues. He probably doesn't 😊
@@samf.s.7731I don’t think it would suggest that at all… he probably didn’t ask her out thinking that she would insult him that viciously. The way she rejected him means that she *definitely* has issues though. If someone rejects you and then changes their mind that’s one thing. If someone’s response to you asking them out is to insult and laugh at you because you’re “beneath them”, then that’s major red flag behavior. Run away, dude. (Yes. I know it’s exaggerated for the movie. But still. Big yikes.)
@@rootedinland6823 When a woman cheats it must be because her husband ignores her, but when a man cheats it must be because he just cant keep it in his pants, right? (Say you are a man-hater without saying you are a man-hater.)
Lmao he'd be better off without a girl who speaks to him like that, but I love Elle's tactic here. Her supposed anger and heartbreak got the girl curious to know what he did with her to make her that upset he didn't call 😂😂😂😂
Nice guys sometimes "play boyfriend" to help out a girl who's having a hard time with unwanted attention. This is an example of a nice girl "playing girlfriend" for a guy who's having a hard time. Only someone like Elle could pull this off.
At one time, Anthony Perkins was married to Berry Berenson (Marisa's sister)--who was on one of the four planes. I wondered if Berry was the mother of the son referenced above.
Yeah I used to watch it a lot as a kid so I rewatched it recently (when I uploaded this clip) and it still holds up fairly well as a comedy that takes it seriously enough IMO.
You know, sometimes it’s that first step of putting yourself out there and just trying something. Even if this is 90% guaranteed to end badly or just be a plain bad idea, the experience is gonna help the guy grow as a person and maybe make the next approach with a girl he’s interested in be a little less awkward and nerve wracking. I mean i think we can all relate with first hand experience that putting yourself out there is hard enough as it is but then you have people like this whether it be in a romantic situation or not who are OVERLY cruel, so Elle gave this guy a much needed confidence boost
The truth is, he probably has trouble getting any girl at all though. We can only hope that this was enough of a confidence boost that he could reject these two, and then go talk to somebody more worthy of him.
It's so cute how sweet hearted she is but she's just kinda set him up with a toxic and shallow girl and he actually doesn't deserve such toxicity in his life 😂 But I get it, she gave him a confidence boost. 😊
He didn't have her in the first place to let her go, he was just asking her out, to see whether she wants him or could want him. Requirement of integrity is pretty much minimum at this point.
That was so cool for her to do that, loved that scene. I have to say, I've done what she's done a couple of times in my life LOL!! Sometimes you just have to help a guy out :)
Bullies: 0 David: 2 Elle: 5 (stars) Elle is "class" from her designer wardrobe to her effervescent, ethical & empathic personality - and she recognizes 💩 when she sees it, (mean girls).
I appreciate what she was doing for her classmate although it sends a bad message that girls are into guys that treat women that way but hey i see the intent of Elle.
I suppose the idea was that he was an outstanding date, and Elle was supposedly complaining that he didn't follow through on whatever promise he seemed to have. Of course now that Elle has indirectly told him what that is, he'd be careful not to actually make that mistake with a real date.
Girls literally are into guys that treat women that way. Serial murderers get thousands of fan letters from women proposing marriage and sending sexy photos of themselves. Female prison guards have sex so frequently with the inmates that a whole new prison system had to be created. Women absolutely love men that are going to treat them like garbage.
I saw something like this once in college, and while I didn't put on a show, I walked up to him and said, "Wow, that's a whole lot of spiral perms in one place." He laughed.
A true friend would totally stand by you. I know someone that is brutally honest. She would of totally told those girls off! And that he is too good for them!😂
For those of you that don't know, this is Oz Perkins, son of Anthony Perkins and Berry Berensen. He's an actor, producer, director. He's adorable in this.
When my mom saw this she said "yeah, right". I was in my late 20s, I think. I don't think she knew how much had changed since she dated. This is definitely possible.
girls aren't worth any guys time if they treat a guy that way, just like all girls don't deserve a guy's time if he's gonna treat them like garbage. I honestly think he should have gone after Elle because she showed more care for him then the other two.
Yeah but he and Elle were/ became friends which honestly works better for both of them. Also no overcomplicated love triangle which would have made the movie annoying to watch
The scene would have been perfect if he had said to the awful women "Have a nice evening," and then WALKED. THE HELL. AWAY. Never to think of them again.
My favorite scene # fun fact the actor here his name Is Oz Perkins son of Actor Anthony Perkins best known for the orginal 1962 Movie Psycho Legally Blonde is also a great movie😊
If you had told me the first time I saw this that it was Anthony Perkins son I would never have believed it. But now..... This man is a treasure the way he talks about his parents. I watched a documentary about gays on film and they did a beautiful interview with him. ❤️🇨🇦
Elle was so kind for this, but I hate that he seems interested in going out with them after they treat him like this to begin with. I would’ve loved to have seen him walk away after Elle’s improv. But, the 2000s were a different time haha.
That little baby slap was cute lol. She loved him enough to give him a way in. Elle is awesome but I hope he passed on those girls. He's too precious for them
How pathetic. Some people are so condescending and disrespectful to you, and then when you do something amazing, they suddenly respect you. It's ridiculous. My boss is a perfect example. She was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift. I'd always been kind of slow and _seemingly_ incompetent, like Neville Longbottom. She scolded a student leader for not noticing I had signed up to go solo. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was like, "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen", and she told me I needed someone there to guide me. And then what happened that night? I saved a man from a thug, grappling with a guy who was bigger and stronger than me and had a gun. I could've easily been beaten or shot, but I luckily struck him in between the legs and followed with more hits and disarming. After he was arrested, my boss ran up to me and yelled, "John, you were so noble and resourceful! You should be incredibly proud of yourself! I know I am! You deserve all the praise and respect you can get!" And that's when I dramatically quit the job.
This scene epitomizes why this movie works. Elle was NEVER dumb. She’s kind and only was mean to Vivienne after she started it and was willing to forgive her. All of that was perfectly portrayed by Reese.
Many men are just desperate that they don't even care. Many women date any guy (who are their type) and don't care. It is sad, but it is how the world goes.
Something tells me that Elle’s done that to someone, and after watching someone else do it made her see what was like from the guy’s perspective and helped him out. Personally, I think he’s too good for either of those two.
Nah, honestly she's nothing but genuinely kind in the movie. There are a rare few people that have every advantage and still manage to truly good people.
I think that instead she saw herself in that situation, but from the perspective of the guy. This scene might've reminded her of the time Warner rejected her, basically saying that she wasn't good enough for him. Then, she overhears these girls saying of that guy isn't good enough for them, so she decides to help him out, having been in that situation herself. Just a thought though.
Elle Woods is the ultimate feminist because she fights for everyone to be happy, heard, respected, and loved 🥰. She is my favorite fictional role model.
As a guy that grew up awkward & unsure around women, I loved this scene. Director Robert Luketic stated the he "wanted someone with gravitas and brains. There had to be more behind the face, and Reese Witherspoon just fit the bill." Witherspoon played the character that was very deep in thought and understanding. 'Elle Woods' was very observant and cared about the people around her. GREAT SCENE!
One of my favorite scenes in the movie. David was one of the few characters that didn't look down on Elle, so she helped him in return.
Absolutely a classic scene, loved this moment too.
Nearly everyone else treated Elle like she wasn't good enough for Harvard, while David and Emmett never did. Loved this scene, it was perfect for demonstrating 'I've got your back, too' to David
His response should be “never, bitch.”
Mine too! Oz Perkins is Hollywood royalty- and like both his Dad and mom ( Tony Perkins and Berry Berenson) can be the perfect blend of awkward and adorable,
In the real women look way down on white knights.
i love how elle isn't just a girl's girl. she's a person's person. she tries to be nice and help out people, regardless of who they are.
I agree. Her character empowers not just women, but men too. It shows that men don't need to prove themselves to nasty women like that girl, in the same way that women don't need to demote themselves for nasty men like Warner.
yep
That is called Integrity!! Elle is an angel😍
Elle was a sweetheart to help him, but I think he would've been better off without those girls.
I think she just wanted him to know how good he was
AHHHH it will be okay he is a playa now he will hit and run LOL serve them right, in 20 yrs he will have beautiful wife kids and living the life and they will be hanging out in dive bar wondering why they are alone LOL That is how this story ends in my mind, I am true believer in Karma
Me too! I don’t care how good looking a girl is. The minute she starts acting rude, she drops to a 2/10 on the scale of attractiveness
@@RT22-pb2ppI fully agree with this. I bet his future wife is a study buddy during their senior year, she is someone who brings him coffee when he is exhausted and Elle encourages them to get together.
Long term for sure, he's better off without them, but hate sex with a gorgeous shrew is still damned fun!
I love how they could have EASILY wrote Elle as a mean girl but didn't.
Wasn't that part of the point for this movie, to take the rich blonde girl b*tchy bimbo and make her into a smart and kind character to bust the stereotype.
Sadly many characters like that gets re-cast or re-written in a way that either breaks another stereotype or just misses the point completely. Early 2000's-2015 were great years for movies. It really felt like the people working on them cared and weren't just after the money.
That would make the movie pointless tho
She's the girl you want for your best friend.
@@HyattHyatt3179Yes and that’s why the person commenting liked the movie.
No they couldn't have she's the main character. The main character has to be likable
any person who treats another the way those girls were treating david should be avoided at all costs.
for an entire generation, girls like that are positioned to be "the catch" in movies.
Sadly, there ain’t no shortage of girls like this these days.
Truth 💯 I used to feel so bad for guys that girls just deemed as dorks and treated terribly. Nobody deserves that.
Thats how girls treated me in high school. I had ZERO social life in highschool. Its supposed to be the most fun time of your life and i hated every single second of it. I do NOT look back on it fondly.
After all this time, I STILL don’t get why portraying David as a selfish user of women was supposed to help. 🤷♀️
I love the way this scene mirrors the one where Warner dumps Elle. The message in both is “you’re not good enough for me.” She’s helping her friend in a situation she’s all too familiar with.
I actually didn’t notice that parallel! Thanks for pointing it out!
I don't see it in her nature to think of herself better and more important, try to use looks and charm to get her way. I know that was not your comment's intention.
I also see a parallel because those girls are wearing pink and acting ditsy and shallow, like Elle before Harvard
In this case he’s far too good for these shallow girls.
Helped his confidence but he deserves better than those women.
Maybe one of them could be a one-time "starter" date, and Elle has now subtly informed him about how to, in fact, treat the girl of his dreams (whoever she may be - I agree, probably not one of these girls) whenever she does come along, so he will have had some practice.

I know right? I love the looks on his face as he’s trying to process on the spot! So funny!
And he went along with it too! Others who are a bit slow in the head would've ranted at her out of embarrassment and confusion 😂
Elle shows her noble side, and for a true loyal friend ❤ this is really heart-warming

But I get it, she gave him a confidence boost. 😊
The character David is really Anthony Perkins' son Oz Perkins. He also cameo along side his dad in Psycho 2, he played a Young Norman Bates.
Now that I read this, I can see the resemblance.
If she doesn’t want you bro, let her go
Be a man of integrity and honor
You're right.
He didn't have her in the first place to let her go, he was just asking her out, to see whether she wants him or could want him. Requirement of integrity is pretty much minimum at this point.

Two thumbs up for a class act!!
Hopefully without the slap...😂

And after this massive confidence boost, he went on to write and direct Longlegs. 🥰
I loved how she helped him get the upper hand in the situation. Now he has the power to tell them to piss off!
He was the first friend she made there. He helped her out, no questions asked. She was so sweet to help him out.

David is played by Oz Perkins, son of Anthony Perkins ("Psycho") and Berry Berenson, a photographer who was killed in the 9/11 attacks.

For those of you that don't know, this is Oz Perkins, son of Anthony Perkins and Berry Berensen. He's an actor, producer, director. He's adorable in this.
Oz is short for Osgood. He's named for his grandfather.
My favorite scene. I was a nerd and would've love that someone helped me to gain some confidence.
Unfortunately that rarely happens in real life.
Even my mother warned me that girls go for toxic guys.
If only girl friends were able to help their boyfriends like that
I love how real this seems.
Elle was just that kind of girl. She couldn't stand for puppy dogs and weaker creatures to suffer.
One of my favorite scenes.
The brother dodged a few bullets. They were so rude! But I get the point of the scene. To show how Elle is a good person.
And that's the moment I knew she'd make a good lawyer 😂

This reminds me too much of the line in She's the Man that goes "girls with asses like mine don't date guys with faces like yours" 😂😂
She got him the first date but ruined his chances for a second with those expectations
This is the best scene in the whole movie and showcases what an absolute gem of a human being Elle is.
I love how "David Kidney gasped at the end" in response to a date request from the girl who just rejected him a minute before!

But if someone rejected me in this manner, i would instantly lose interest in them.
Something tells me that Elle’s done that to someone, and after watching someone else do it made her see what was like from the guy’s perspective and helped him out. Personally, I think he’s too good for either of those two.
Nah, honestly she's nothing but genuinely kind in the movie. There are a rare few people that have every advantage and still manage to truly good people.
I think that instead she saw herself in that situation, but from the perspective of the guy.
This scene might've reminded her of the time Warner rejected her, basically saying that she wasn't good enough for him. Then, she overhears these girls saying of that guy isn't good enough for them, so she decides to help him out, having been in that situation herself.
Just a thought though.

Interesting!
I see a parallel because those girls are wearing pink and acting ditsy and shallow, like Elle before Harvard
Elle Woods is the ultimate feminist because she fights for everyone to be happy, heard, respected, and loved 🥰. She is my favorite fictional role model.
And then David was like “on second thought I can do way better” 😌
Good heart, but do not feed that man to those red flags. He deserves much greater women than them.
True. Guys like him are keepers, way too good for girls like these two.
I think she did it so he wouldn't be humiliated anymore, now HE can reject THEM
By doing that she raised his value in those girls eyes but they ain't for him. He can do better.
As a guy that grew up awkward & unsure around women, I loved this scene.
Director Robert Luketic stated the he "wanted someone with gravitas and brains. There had to be more behind the face, and Reese Witherspoon just fit the bill."
Witherspoon played the character that was very deep in thought and understanding. 'Elle Woods' was very observant and cared about the people around her.
GREAT SCENE!
The lesson here is that women prefer men who have already been vetted by other women.
And the women who don't use the vetting shortcut simply go through one guy after another like takeout.
They found out he broke someone's heart and that's what made them interested in him?
Yes. It works very well.
