Never compromise even on elective coursework ヽ(•̀ω•́ )ゝ
Plot summary:
Erin, a beautiful but poor single mother of three children, managed to stay at a law firm. While sorting through her archives, she stumbled across documents from the power company and nearby residents about the disease, which piqued her curiosity. It turned out that the highly toxic hexavalent chromium used by the power company to prevent rust seeped into the groundwater, causing nearby residents to suffer from cancer, and this damage would be passed on to the next generation. Power companies were aware of this, but deceived residents that they were emitting healthy trivalent chromium. Irene provoked this case by herself, knowing that her opponent was a big company with money and power, but in order to seek justice for the children who were hurt, she collected evidence everywhere. At her insistence, more and more people began to help her, and eventually the lawsuit was successful, and the residents received high compensation.
Personal perception:
I've been wondering why Erin would stick to it. She is free-spirited, confident, bold, and extremely charismatic. She knew exactly what she wanted. At first, she just wanted to make money to support her family. After discovering the darkness of the power company, she fought for her conscience, her sense of responsibility, and to make her children grow up healthy. Driven by her sense of responsibility, she ran for the local residents, felt respect from others in the process, and gained a sense of accomplishment from the clarity of the evidence. Therefore, according to the two-factor theory, I think it is the responsibility, achievement, progress, growth in the process that drives her to persevere.
Around the plot:
1. Water
There are many depictions of water in the film, because the highly toxic water containing hexavalent chromium is the clue to promote the development of the plot. When Erin visited the victim's home, where the children were playing carefree in the swimming pool, when Erin told their mother the water was poisonous, I saw fear, panic and anxiety in the mother's eyes. Immediately rushed out and called out the children. Erin carefully avoided the water rinsing the cowshed when she checked in at a nearby dairy farm. The scene where she pinches dead frogs out of a pool near the power plant is heart-wrenching. Finally, when talking with the lawyer of the power company, Irene said that when the water that the other party was about to drink was brought back from Hinckley, the face of the woman who had no good face turned green, which was really pleasing.
2. Dress
Irene's dress change is also worth noting. At the beginning, her tights and miniskirts were very hot, and she didn't care about other people's eyes even when her underwear leaked.
The employer's lawyer kindly reminded her that she didn't care. But she is such a hot girl who is confident and shows her career line all the time. When visiting each household to take samples, she gradually changed the ultra-low-neck tight-fitting top into a neat shirt, and even once wore a tightly covered one. denim jacket. It can be seen that in the investigation that lasted for more than ten months, she has gradually grown from a rebellious girl to a woman with a strong sense of responsibility and a voice for the people.
Although it is said that the homework is required for elective courses, but I didn’t expect it to be really good (＾v＾)
