I don't see this as her using her fashion knowledge to save the day. I see this as a point where the situation fell into territory she knew all too well, completely obliterating the confidence issues and nervousness she was suffering, allowing her to use her legitimate lawyer skills to save the day :)
And even so, knowledge of fashion and choosing a career in fashion is not shallow at all. It is actually quite competitive and rigorous if you want to make it in the business.
Ben Simmons yeah, but other lawyers also wouldn’t cross examine in such a way as to violate the witnesses’ rights against self discrimination! In the real world, if a witness to a crime suddenly confesses (on the stand), the prosecution can make a motion to exclude their testimony... because it goes against their theory of the case, that the person on trial did it. Of course, the defence for that guy can argue that their statements should be upheld into evidence, since it vindicates their own client! Not that this isn’t a great movie, and Elle is incredibly smart. The prosecutor is an idiot, because she saw only a dumb blonde, and wasn’t prepared to object when Elle started grilling Chutney! If she had been more prepared, she could have objected before Chutney actually got to the point where she confessed! But she wasn’t paying enough attention! 😛
I love the fact that Emmett has so much faith in Ellie in this scene and gently encourages her through it when nobody else does. He sees her as an intelligent woman instead of some blonde bimbo like everyone else does.
"Oh my God there she is! Elle!" "Elle, we came to see your trial!" "Oh, look how cute there's like a judge and everything! and jury people." "VOTE FOR ELLE!!"
To my knowledge she knew the woman who she was defending was innocent, however she didn't use the alibi because it would have destroyed that woman's fashion or beauty image.
youre absolutely right, she had been getting liposuction or something that day and didnt want to ruin her lifestyle advertising and teaching fitness classes
Even now the reason why I love this movie so much is that it shows you dont need to change yourself or give up who you are to get to where you want,just by being yourself you can win,you can do anything you want.
It's funny cause I can hear my MUSIC in the goddamn shower. And i'm 100% sure a gunshot is louder than the shower. Well, I mean, unless the gunman used some type of silencer..
Qasem Rimawi that doesnt mean anything lmao the gun shot is still loud enough, especially inside. ive heard gun shots from a few blocks away from my own home and if youve ever heard gunshots outside your house youd know its loud enough.
@@quizzlybear A typical gun shot is between 150 and 175 decibels. Putting a "silencer" on those guns will bring the decibels down to around 120 to 150 decibels. To put that into perspective, a jackhammer is around 120 decibels and a jet engine is around 150 decibels, so the average gun with a suppressor is still going to be at least as load as a jackhammer.
When I first saw this movie, I used to think she could have easily said Brooke was in the hospital. It technically wouldn’t have been a lie. But I know they would have prompted for specifics…
Not only did Elle prove that Brooke didn't kill her husband without revealing her secret that she was getting a little work done, she also caught on to the hole in Chutney's story, expose the fact that she was lying, and drew out a confession that Chutney was the real killer.
@@brandyw.7943 Yep, by her OWN admission, cleverly extracted by Elle. The brevity of that trial,saved a lot of time and money, since there'd be no need for further investigations, or extra police time needed. No expensive detectives and extra finger printing, and an innocent woman ( Brooke ) has been spared a worrying time, wondering if she was going to be sent down for a murder she didn't commit. It was a win win situation all round,cept for tomato chutney there. Those tears in HER eyes were the usual ones of guilt and self pity.
I love how the prosecutor looks at Callahan at 1:14 when she finds out what he’s done. She’s probably gone up against him before and had lots of professional respect for him, but now it’s all gone and has been replaced with shock and disgust.
I felt like the movie fell short in addressing sexual harassment in the workplace. It would have been more satisfying to see Callahan arrested for harassing Elle, and possibly other coworkers/students.
I love how brooke said that elle is brilliant while elle said that any cosmogirl would have known, shows how humble elle is and how much faith brooke had in her ❤❤❤
I love this part of the movie. I hated how she started out so slow & lost, but when it came to the part about the perm & how Elle solve the case. The 1st time a saw this my jaw dropped & I was like everyone in the movie "OH MY GOD" LOL !!!!!!!!!
i dont hate it. it's actually what makes the scene better. because it makes her believable as a human that grows and learn and not a mary sue that can do everything right of the bat.
I couldn’t believe at first that the actress who plays Chutney (Linda Cardellini) plays Velma in live action Scooby Doo, Dolores in the Green Book, and Judy in Dead to Me. She’s so underrated. 🙌👏❤️
I always loved how she used what she knew (beauty, hair care, etc.) to help put two and two together and win the case. Comes to show that women like Elle are very smart and should not to reckoned with.
I love this entire scene (especially the end when Chutney gets grilled) but when Bruiser pops up out of the handbag and startles the prosecutor. Funny!!
Premeditated murder whether successful or not can be charged as actual murder if evidence is there to prove this as a fact. In this case all the proof is there and then some when she openly admits in court that she did intend to kill brooke but shot her father instead. Because her intent was to murder a human and as result she ended up murdering someone, even if she "claims" to have killed the wrong person, she can and would be charged for first degree murder.
Absolutely! Remember with Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny, her knowledge of Cars saved Vinny's Cousins from going to Prison. Same thing happened on Happy Days when Fonzie's knowledge of Motorcycles prevented a Man from going to Jail for allegedly stealing a Purse.
I love how the musical adds more depth to Emmett and even to Enid. I love the character building and dynamics it had for each character that the movie doesn't have. I also love the songs for the musical. But I find this part to be so much better than the musical's case scene because this one shows how Elle becomes very Shark like instead of bait. Whereas in the musical she stays very bubbly during the case.
I love how thoughout the whole movie since the minute he met Elle he was always so supportive of her. And how when he was behind her in line and Emmett saw her bunny tail but he didn't look cause he's more of a man than her and how Warren had his hands all over her it shows how much more of a man Emmet is. He was so supportive and this is one of my favorite ships in every movie Iv'e ever seen.
yeah i completely agree when i saw the show for the first time i was kinda dissapointed by the case scene. really just that moment she realises chutney is the killer how she becomes serious and to the point the bubblyness kinda dissapears and i love that.
M I guess she wasn't issued an invitation to work at one of Bostons most prestigious law firms after graduation for nothing. But n Boy oh boy,is it very well deserved. That Elle is a british bull dog, wrapped in a bottle of the best champagne. By which I mean, a bull dog when it gets its teeth into something/ someone is very tenacious, he'll never let go, and Elle is always fizzy and bubbly like a bottle of champagne.
This is my favourite scene cause I love how she keeps going on about the shower then then moment Chutney (the daughter) says 'got a perm' she goes on about haircare and Chutney confesses. That's just awesome.
Considering Chutney was played by the actress who played Velma in the live-action Scooby-Doo mysteries I'd like to say... "And she would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that meddling blonde law student and her dog."
Emmet is such a great guy. I really like this movie because it encourages women to be themselves and to choose supportive, loving people who believe in you.
You know what always baffled me is how the she never made the connection well after Elle did. She's literally sitting there talking about perms and water and she just is not getting that her alibi is being obliterated before her eyes 🤦♀️
The bathroom is a set of four walls surrounded by metal or plastic piping. In most cases the piping would have made the sound travel throughout the house where it would have been amplified by the piping and so Chutney would have heard the sound REALLY well even in the shower. She isn't a good liar. Also Chutney was not only guilty of murder, but of being incredibly stupid as well. You don't handle a firearm if you don't know what you're doing, and Rule #1 of shooting is to make certain of your target and backstop.
Big boy. I can't WAIT to see ELLE in action when she's just a couple of cases further down the line. I'd be non too easy, being cross examined by HER. Hell! She was brutal enough alteady,for her 1st supervised case, she'll be a bone crusher as a qualified Attorney (aka) lawyer.
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the transformation of Elle from a nervous little nobody one minute and about 30 seconds later she turns into the best version of a hard nosed prosecuting counsel that I've EVER seen. I swear I'd have been nervous as hell if SHE was cross examining me.
I've watched this movie over and over again...and never tired of watching it. It is so amazing. How Elle interrogated a suspect and knews how to let that suspect's secrets reveals.
I love this movie. This is a happy day in these scene. Im so impressed by her fashion knowledge to win this murder case. . I knew Ali Larter was innocent the entire time.
If Chutney had the presence of mind, she could have claimed that a bird pooped on her head while coming home that day, necessitating that she wash her hair and that she then later, on another day, got a new perm before coming to court since her curls had, in fact, been ruined, as Elle had said. Something like that. But, too late! Moral: Don't panic at accusations: there's always an excuse.
she would have had to have evidence for going to get a second perm, like a witness at the hair salon or receipts proving she was there for a second time, which she didn't have.
@@Kai-yq4ur First, in my scenario, Chutney had the presence of mind not to accidentally confess, so I don't think it's really in the court's interest to "track down and verify a perm" - Chutney''s not the one on trial. Even if it later went there, Chutney could say, "Hey I never thought such a thing could ever need a receipt as evidence till now - I'm just hearing Elle's wild theory now. Who could have guessed such baloney? For my second perm, I went several weeks back at a salon near my gym, I think. Not even sure of the day, and I don't know the name of the person who serviced me. I had never been there before. I doubt they'd remember me," etc. In addition, courts themselves don't do investigations, and Chutney doesn't need to cooperate with defense counsel one bit or even talk to them. Only the police would be possible investigators, but that is a moot point since they already have their suspect in court on trial. Chutney is off scot free, as long as she doesn't confess, my scenario. I like your thinking, though
@@jtg3765 ohhhh that makes more sense. Yeah I guess since she wasn't the one on trial she wouldn't have to show any evidence, though I think if Elle had enough reason to believe that Chutney was guilty she could have appealed to the judge. You're obviously much more knowledgeable than me though, I'm a teenage aspiring lawyer/journalist so this was really cool to read! Thanks :)
I liked Callahans face when Elle got chutneys confession, and realised she'd won by a very large margin. I don't think after that, Callahan would have been a very happy bunny. He'd lost face. I nearly felt sorry for him. 🤣😅 nearly but not quite. 🤭
Priceless Yeah, that's my favourite part too. She starts out all stammering and goofy and nervous, and from the moment that the word PERM is mentioned, she suddenly turns into a bulldog, that won't let go. In plain english,she turns into a hectoring, haranguing, bullying attorney. Who is 30000% sure of her facts/ evidence, and makes sure that EVERYONE knows it including the person she's cross examining. Viz Chunky. I reckon I'D be terrified if student attorney Woods were to start on ME. She sure can be terrifying. Cripes.
I am a licensed hairdresser and i can honestly say that Elle was wrong when she said you can't wet your hair for 24 hours after a perm after the risk of deactivating the ammonium thyglocolate. That is partly true. You CAN WET your hair before 24 hours and it will not deactivate the A.T. you're not supposed to SHAMPOO your hair for 24 hours due the that deactivation of the A.T. Then the perm WILL loosen and the curls will start to straighten again. But you absolutely CAN WET your hair within 24 hours. I always used to tell my clients it's safe to WET it within 24 hours. But as far as washing the hair, I would tell them to not wash it for at least 48 hours to be on the safe side.
And if, in fact, you weren’t washing your hair, ‘cause I suspect you weren’t because your curls are still intact, wouldn’t you have heard the gunshot? Brilliant delivery.
I don't see this as her using her fashion knowledge to save the day. I see this as a point where the situation fell into territory she knew all too well, completely obliterating the confidence issues and nervousness she was suffering, allowing her to use her legitimate lawyer skills to save the day :)
And even so, knowledge of fashion and choosing a career in fashion is not shallow at all. It is actually quite competitive and rigorous if you want to make it in the business.
She did what lawyers are paid to do. She looked at the evidence and figured out what was really going on. It was not about fashion. She used logic.
Michelle true but the other lawyers wouldn’t have known about shampoo
Ben Simmons yeah, but other lawyers also wouldn’t cross examine in such a way as to violate the witnesses’ rights against self discrimination!
In the real world, if a witness to a crime suddenly confesses (on the stand), the prosecution can make a motion to exclude their testimony... because it goes against their theory of the case, that the person on trial did it.
Of course, the defence for that guy can argue that their statements should be upheld into evidence, since it vindicates their own client!
Not that this isn’t a great movie, and Elle is incredibly smart. The prosecutor is an idiot, because she saw only a dumb blonde, and wasn’t prepared to object when Elle started grilling Chutney!
If she had been more prepared, she could have objected before Chutney actually got to the point where she confessed!
But she wasn’t paying enough attention! 😛
Ben Simmons it’s self-incrimination, I think.

To my knowledge she knew the woman who she was defending was innocent, however she didn't use the alibi because it would have destroyed that woman's fashion or beauty image.
Brethern that’s literally the plot of the movie lmao
Cuz she was a fitness person and her alibi was getting lipo suction
More than her beauty image, it would've destroyed her whole business and her credibility as an entrepreneur

She did it so well
While Chutney loses her confidence lol
She got convicted for killing her dad but wouldn't she also have her sentence lengthened because she planned to kill brooke?
Theyd probably need to do a separate trial for those offenses.
Also for lying in court
And she perjured herself, lying like a rug on the stand
Perjury as well.

lesson learned... when your a lawyer... make sure you know absolutely everything about style
The lesson that you should have learned is... when you are a lawyer, you have to think in a logical way and be able to figure things out.

SOme of the least important things can actually become useful at times like that

I like the confidence that Emmett has in Elle. Thats the kind i would like someone to have in me
Elle is really good at getting a confession and is a good lawyer.
Big boy.
I can't WAIT to see ELLE in action when she's just a couple of cases further down the line.
I'd be non too easy, being cross examined by HER. Hell! She was brutal enough alteady,for her 1st supervised case, she'll be a bone crusher as a qualified
Attorney (aka) lawyer.
Ammonium Thyglocolate
i used to watch this movie over and over again! it's just so funny, clever, cute, and just too AWESOME!
i love this scene, it inspired me to study my law subject way back when i was in college lol xD
6:48 I think David looks adorable, even though his character is definitely older than me
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the transformation of Elle from a nervous little nobody one minute and about 30 seconds later she turns into the best version of a hard nosed prosecuting counsel that I've EVER seen. I swear I'd have been nervous as hell if SHE was cross examining me.
Oh my god
ACTUALLY OH MY GOD
I ONLY SAW THE MUSICAL BUT HOLY HELL THIS WAS JEJAMFKZKEKDKSKDK I WAS SHOOKETH
Thank you for adding this!!!! Best part of the movie!!!
In the end when her client says "because she's brilliant of course"
Me: 😭😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best courtroom moment ever!
I've watched this movie over and over again...and never tired of watching it.
It is so amazing. How Elle interrogated a suspect and knews how to let that suspect's secrets reveals.
Ali Larter is smoking here
Ren G When is she not? 😗

Ren G - I’m a straight female and even I couldn’t take my eyes off her! I wish I was that beautiful ❗️. Would’ve made my life a whole lot easier‼️‼️
That teared me up today, I was so proud of Elle at that moment
I love this movie. This is a happy day in these scene. Im so impressed by her fashion knowledge to win this murder case. . I knew Ali Larter was innocent the entire time.
If Chutney had the presence of mind, she could have claimed that a bird pooped on her head while coming home that day, necessitating that she wash her hair and that she then later, on another day, got a new perm before coming to court since her curls had, in fact, been ruined, as Elle had said. Something like that. But, too late! Moral: Don't panic at accusations: there's always an excuse.
she would have had to have evidence for going to get a second perm, like a witness at the hair salon or receipts proving she was there for a second time, which she didn't have.
@@Kai-yq4ur First, in my scenario, Chutney had the presence of mind not to accidentally confess, so I don't think it's really in the court's interest to "track down and verify a perm" - Chutney''s not the one on trial. Even if it later went there, Chutney could say, "Hey I never thought such a thing could ever need a receipt as evidence till now - I'm just hearing Elle's wild theory now. Who could have guessed such baloney? For my second perm, I went several weeks back at a salon near my gym, I think. Not even sure of the day, and I don't know the name of the person who serviced me. I had never been there before. I doubt they'd remember me," etc. In addition, courts themselves don't do investigations, and Chutney doesn't need to cooperate with defense counsel one bit or even talk to them. Only the police would be possible investigators, but that is a moot point since they already have their suspect in court on trial. Chutney is off scot free, as long as she doesn't confess, my scenario. I like your thinking, though
@@jtg3765 ohhhh that makes more sense. Yeah I guess since she wasn't the one on trial she wouldn't have to show any evidence, though I think if Elle had enough reason to believe that Chutney was guilty she could have appealed to the judge. You're obviously much more knowledgeable than me though, I'm a teenage aspiring lawyer/journalist so this was really cool to read! Thanks :)
@@Kai-yq4ur Elle can still cross question though and bring a parlour person as witness for next hearing to bust her lie of going for second time.
This never gets old.
elle's tone of voice at like 6:24 is so intense! love it!
i love luke's face after the girl confesses
I liked Callahans face when Elle got chutneys confession, and realised she'd won by a very large margin.
I don't think after that, Callahan would have been a very happy bunny.
He'd lost face.
I nearly felt sorry for him. 🤣😅 nearly but not quite.
🤭
LOVE WHEN ELLE SLAYS THIS PART.
Priceless
Yeah, that's my favourite part too. She starts out all stammering and goofy and nervous, and from the moment that the word PERM is mentioned, she suddenly turns into a bulldog, that won't let go. In plain english,she turns into a hectoring, haranguing, bullying attorney. Who is 30000% sure of her facts/ evidence, and makes sure that EVERYONE knows it including the person she's cross examining.
Viz Chunky. I reckon I'D be terrified if student attorney Woods were to start on ME. She sure can be terrifying. Cripes.
Thank you, pipsyloo. That really clears it up.
I am a licensed hairdresser and i can honestly say that Elle was wrong when she said you can't wet your hair for 24 hours after a perm after the risk of deactivating the ammonium thyglocolate. That is partly true. You CAN WET your hair before 24 hours and it will not deactivate the A.T. you're not supposed to SHAMPOO your hair for 24 hours due the that deactivation of the A.T. Then the perm WILL loosen and the curls will start to straighten again. But you absolutely CAN WET your hair within 24 hours. I always used to tell my clients it's safe to WET it within 24 hours. But as far as washing the hair, I would tell them to not wash it for at least 48 hours to be on the safe side.
I remember seeing this movie for the first time and even I went "oh my god" haha
i love this movie! and this is like one of my fave scenes!
And if, in fact, you weren’t washing your hair, ‘cause I suspect you weren’t because your curls are still intact, wouldn’t you have heard the gunshot?
Brilliant delivery.
