"Legally Blonde II"

Paper Summary:

The 2003 movie "Legally Blonde II" (directed by C. Herman-Wurmfeld) tells the story of Elle Woods, a graduate of Harvard Law School who goes to Washington D.C. to work as a legislative aid in order to help push through legislation against animal testing. The paper shows how the movie gives a fairly accurate depiction of the modern political process, although its real flaw is that it overemphasizes the power of the people in the political process.

From the Paper:

"What the movie realistically captures is the committee atmosphere. Elle knows that she needs the support of Congresswoman Hauser, who is on the Energy and Commerce Committee. Initially, for no reason at all, Congresswoman Hauser is hostile to Elle, which greatly reduces the likelihood that Elle's bill will pass. Without Congresswoman Hauser's support, it was unlikely that the bill would receive the consideration that it needed in committee."
