Legally Blonde: The Movie. (2001) Starring Reese Witherspoon.
Dating back to the fourth and fifth centuries B.C., the foundations of communication encompass the Truth, rhetorical appeal, and the five canons of rhetoric. Again, the five canons are invention, disposition, style, memory, and delivery. Legally Blonde is a movie that features a character named Elle Woods who ends up at Harvard University pursuing a career in law instead of originally being in pursuit of her ex-boyfriend. This particular scene focuses on a demonstration of the adversary system between two opposing parties.
Elle Woods makes a strong delivery as a lawyer for a renowned fitness model, Brooke Taylor. Elle not only defended herself as an underdog attorney but also helps expose the Truth from the suspect in question. Building up to this part of the movie, Elle took the time to gain Brooke’s trust and attain her alibi before connecting it with her prior knowledge of style and fashion in order to get a better sense of the suspects’ actions at the scene of the crime. The whole process carried out the five canons of rhetoric in which Elle invented key ideas involving necessary case information and evidence to support her argument, she then organized them to build up a momentum for an impromptu confession, she spoke in an eloquent matter, she recalled facts about proper perm maintenance, and delivered her argument with great confidence and determination to be an effective representative of the law.
