3. WHY "Erin Brockovich" IS A FILM CAREER? NOTES FOR THE ENTERTAINER
This film, based on a true story, shows a woman without any training that has failed both at work and in life partner. To this is added to the injustice of a trial for an accident he suffered. She feels cheated and ignored. However, despite all this, it is passion, emotion and courage. That's all you need to lift their three children later.
The work that got out of compassion in a law firm leads to a complicated case. In this context increasingly inhospitable job where you will experience the coldness and the envy of her peers, she will introduce feeling the heat. His ability to listen and empathize, take Erin to become personally involved in this case so complicated. Become a matter so personal that you absorb so that live back to their children and the man she met George. We could say that job success is lived at the same time there is another failure as a mother and wife.
's extraordinary interpretation of her character Julia Roberts leads us to discover that Erin feels really are holding a mission: to resolve the injustice suffered by hundreds of families by deception, impunity and poor faith in a company. Be devoted it even putting at risk their own family. But it is as if he had no other choice. She always had the dream to be somebody in life. And this gives you the opportunity to feel respected when he speaks.
The strength and passion of Erin have a contagious effect in their group, starting with his boss, it seems that gradually becomes more human, closer to people.
should be noted that Erin shows empathy when they hear the stories of suffering of families. The other director gives us the contrast and the effect it has on patients and their family's new attorney who is prosecuting the case. "In a world shortage of heroes, the story of Erin Brockovich is an inspirational reminder of the power of the human spirit. Her passion, tenacity and strong desire to fight for the rights of the oppressed who defies the odds ... his victory even sweeter by the fact that while helping others, she helped herself " ( http://www.erinbrockovich.com/story.htm )
Erin Brockovich us to treat many points vocation, especially knowing it is a fact. A woman who is not one, scorned by a woman, judged even by their dress, becomes the "savior" of a large group of families for their courage and their ability to feel challenged. We can also find other elements such as self-esteem, teamwork, human relations, personal growth, empathy-feeling ... things, all of them played their role in vocational history.
" Perhaps the plot is somewhat predictable, it repeats the classic pattern here read David and Goliath Mother Courage", used recently in movies such as self-defense or civil action. However, it has in its favor that minimizes the cumbersome judicial incidents, to focus more on the human tragedies of those affected by contaminated water and on the tenacious struggle of Erin to unite them. Moreover, this struggle is enriched by Erin efforts to reconcile this engrossing work with dedication to his children and his new partner, a caring and pragmatic biker (Aaron Eckhart), who agrees to represent the secondary role of babysitter and almost father the kids " (JJM in www.bloggermania.com )

-Reflection: OUT, ON THE WAY ...
Parting is primarily
outside yourself.
Breaking the shell of selfishness
trying to imprison us in our own self.
Parting is still walking around
around oneself.
As if that were the center
the world and life.
Leaving is not to be confined
in the circle of problems
the small world where we belong.
Whatever its importance,
humanity is larger.
And she whom we serve. Starting
not devour miles, cross the seas
or supersonic speeds.
is primarily open to others,
discover, go to him.
open to other ideas,
even those who are opposed to ours.
