A movie where you meet a women of some mettle!

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2013)

When someone asks you to name a Julia Roberts movie, it is certainly not Erin Brockovich, you would go for rather you would advise for pretty woman. And by all means, this movie can be cremated(I'm a Hindu and so is she) for Roberts' performance but the question arises of why 8 then? Well, you might have heard that some books are to be chewed and some to be digested... Likewise, this one has to be digested! Why? The Story! A single handed mom with a weakness for troublesome romantic relations (to speak of the neighbor biker) who has the best of convictions and a passion to fight for justice. But, this movie is akin to what is reading between the lines in a book.Yes, the movie contains a deeper meaning and our understanding of progress, which is not always right for the best of both worlds. For what maybe progress for the developed may turn out to be a warrant to death for the developing. The so portrayed neighbourhood is a victim to the company's chemicals for decades while little knowing about it. And when they come to terms with the chemicals, the situation is grim and the result: every thinkable cancer. Apply the analogy to countries and you will identify what I was referring to earlier. Erin is hence no short of a messiah to represent as many as 634 plaintiffs and grant them justice. Someone for being what many would called on the lines of a beauty queen, man she has brains. So, this one was an inspirational story to me. And can only be justified with an 8!
