Commitment, hard work and passion against all odds

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2005)

Yeah yeah, my review's title is a nice summary about this movie. I wasn't completely sure before i watched it but, then it surprised me a lot, it was a great surprise and i am happy that i watched it.
First of all i have to remark the fabulous performance that Julia Roberts gave us in this movie....This Erin Brockovich had a stubborn personality and was really hot-blooded, she was committed to her job and she didn't quit even in the most difficult situations, and Julia had to be to the height of the character, a really complex one, and she really could handle the character and made it hers, i actually believed Julia could have been Erin. She wasn't a lawyer, luckily, she wasn't in that business of deceitment and betrayal, she was pure and always spoke with the truth, and she cared about her customers, not as people who gave you their many but as people that have a story behind them, she cared about the emotional context, in other words, she treated them as they deserved for the only fact that they are people, not for the money they can or can't give you, and that's great of Erin, that's the most important.
Of course this is an actual case, and i have to say that finally justice rules, this movie should encourage everybody else to see that it isn't impossible to fight against something that is believed to be more powerful than us.
Here it is really good portrayed the situation of justice in the world, the most powerful people gets the better part just because they have good lawyers , and in some cases good legions of lawyers. That can disencourage people, because what is a single person to do against a huge organization?? And besides, judges aren't correct with their decisions, this case was a happy exception to that luckily. Let's pray for all the cases to have an ending like this................
I am forgetting about the guy who played Erin's employer, he did a remarkable job too, and helped a lot to the character of Roberts...he was, the typical lawyer but Erin's goodwill helped to change him.........
Resuming, i love this movie as a nearly perfect portrayal of our decadent legal system, and the message of hope it gives us when you see it isn't impossible to win saying the truth.
