She's not without weaknesses, she does have a tendency to snap judgments and she's not the most diplomatic of people at times. Some of her best scenes are her domestic ones with her three kids. Roberts puts her heart and soul in both her work and as mother. As she explains to current boyfriend Aaron Eckhardt in my favorite scene in the film, when she goes to Hinkley on any her firm's business, it's not a beauty queen that the people there are seeing, but a savior of sorts. As Roberts got deeper and deeper into the case involving toxic chromium poisoning from a plant in Hinkley, she felt a lot more self worth and very much empowered due to the good work she was involved in. People all her life, and probably the men she was involved with never took her seriously because of her beauty. Roberts is also a single mother raising three kids who literally browbeats her way into a job with a law firm headed by Albert Finney that lost a case where she was a plaintiff. The true story of former beauty queen Erin Brockovich is one of the best roles for a female player in the past ten years and Julia Roberts was so right for the part. Although Albert Finney is the lawyer who took on the power Pacific Gas&Electric for the residents of Hinkley, California, the legwork (and what a pair of legs) was done by Julia Roberts. Back then it was the traditional roles with the men doing the heavy lifting and the women in support as wives and mothers so the men could slay the dragons.įrank Capra might never have given us a populist heroine, but I think he would have loved Erin Brockovich as much as I did. In all the years that Frank Capra gave his populist films, none of his heroes were women. Reviewed by bkoganbing 10 / 10 A Pretty Woman Takes Down A Big Utility

As she digs deeper, Erin finds herself leading point in a series of events that would involve her law firm in one of the biggest class action lawsuits in American history against a multi-billion dollar corporation. What she discovers is that the company is trying quietly to buy land that was contaminated by hexavalent chromium, a deadly toxic waste that the company is improperly and illegally dumping and, in turn, poisoning the residents in the area. While no one takes her seriously, with her trashy clothes and earthy manners, that soon changes when she begins to investigate a suspicious real estate case involving the Pacific Gas & Electric Company.
With no alternative, she successfully browbeats her lawyer to give her a job in compensation for the loss.
This losing streak even extends to a failed lawsuit against a doctor in a car accident she was in. Erin Brockovich-Ellis is an unemployed single mother, desperate to find a job, but is having no luck.
