Real people and real stories are often more shocking. Erin Brockovich is such a real character, and her lawsuit is the largest in direct lawsuits in American history. It is worth mentioning that Erin did not go to law school and dropped out of high school to start working. She raised three children on her own and was nearly penniless before working at the law firm. However, it is such a woman at a low level of society who has saved many families and herself through her unremitting efforts.
The expression of the film can be divided into two aspects, namely work and family. At work, she is a person who will not compromise with her work. Living in a difficult situation for a long time made Erin a workaholic. She has a strong personality, has a sense of justice, and is not afraid of anyone, even to her own bosses. So she would beg Ed in a low voice to keep her at the company. Facts have proved that although she is flamboyant on the surface, she is careful and conscientious, which is why she has doubts about the medical records in the property file and investigates the matter by herself, and finally discovers the water pollution incident that the Gongshui Company concealed from the local residents.
In terms of family, she has no time to take care of her family because of her busy work. Her son complains that her mother doesn't take him out to play. The younger daughter is not with her when she speaks for the first time. Her boyfriend asks her to leave and find a job that can take care of the children. When the conflict between work and family revealed, Erin did not compromise on life. Because she understands that she has to help families who have been hurt by water pollution no matter what, and she herself has never had the trust of those families who have been victimized. It is gratifying that when the son learned that a child of his own age was ill, his young mind understood the meaning of the work his mother did, and her boyfriend was finally moved by a victim's expression of gratitude to Erin. The double harvest of career and family also draws a successful conclusion to this inspirational film.
In terms of actors, the big-mouthed beauty Julia Roberts showed the role of Erin incisively and vividly, which was in line with her carefree image. I've always liked the actress Julia Roberts. When I think about it, almost every one of the many films she has starred in is very good, and it never disappoints me.
