What’s the Erin Brockovich movie about?
Erin Brockovich (Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman, Notting Hill and My Best Friend’s Wedding) is a mother of three kids. She gets into a car accident, in which she is not in fault, but her lawyer Ed Masry (Albert Finney fom Tom Jones, Annie and Murder on the Orient Express) still loses the case because of her attitude in front of the court. She manages somehow to convince him to give her a job as a legal assistant in his law firm. Erin uncovers some medical records placed in real estate files. She starts to investigate with Ed’s approval, and she discovers that a huge firm is hiding the contamination of the water to the consumers. A local community, Hinkley, is particularly affected, the contaminated water is causing devastating illnesses among its residents.

[@sophial.6633]

This one of my favorite parts of one of my favorite movies. This part grounded the fact that yes EVERYONE believes and knows that the water is contaminated. It brings up the very real notion that a billion dollar a year company would rather let people die than admit any wrong doing. Outstanding movie every step of the way.

Albert Finney was my favorite part of this movie. He doesn’t steal the spotlight at all from Julia Roberts but also manages to be so so good. his character is so funny and adorable!

[@stephanginther9051]

The fact that the lawyer wouldn't drink the water makes me happy. That little psychological landmine would really hurt their case in their own mind. If only a little bit.

[@Terra_Lopez]

Yes, whenever I see it, I love it. But I always think, if she had waited just a half second more before saying it, it could have been even more dramatic with her spitting it out all over the table, and start coughing. Since it's not really that water, it's all harmless fun and games.

[@victorcristo7274]

wouldve been funnier if she let her drink before saying it lol

[@terrywade3696]

One of the outstanding lines in this movie, “We had that water especially brought in for you from Hinkley!” How to introduce the element of doubt and win your case! Deliciously brilliant! I can never think about this movie without remembering that line! It always makes me laugh!

[@Juustja]

I pissed my pants laughing by seeing the power play in this scene. PG&E comes in with four people, Ed is calling two just random employees for just sitting there and pretending to be important too.

[@watchthisnow321]

Leverage comes in many different ways.

[@cisio64123]

Ed as an experienced lawyer knew full well that PG&E was simply pulling a intimidation tactic and he also knew he couldn't afford to allow them to think it had worked. It really was a laughable pissing contest that they forced him to play. The real beauty and point of this scene is that in the end the real power in that room didn't come from a strutting lawyer, it came from Erin's righteous fury in knowing that PG&E was trying buy their way out of the high cost they created for potentially hundreds of people so cheaply. Because no matter how powerful or educated they might be Erin's simple math and pointedly calling them out for their legal and moral accountability to their clients effectively shut them down.

[@Beezlie727]

You've got to look at the weight of the burden that she was carrying. She had no one to hand it off to & even if she did, (Ed was her boss, not her co-worker) she was already too emotionally invested in the case. These folks had become like family to her & she knew NOBODY was going to fight as hard as her to make PG&E pay for their transgressions! NOBODY! At this point she'd become like a pit bull with a pot roast & PG&E was gonna pay in full. He should've stuck it out.

The real criminality here is that PG&E made no attempt what so ever to prevent chromium 6 from escaping into the environment. I dealt with it for years and it was never a problem. Even without any treatment Cr+6 will spontaneously reduce to harmless Cr+3 under normal conditions in a few hours or days for a large batch. PG&E had to have been dumping Cr+6 waste continuously. It is one of the easiest and cheapest metals to remove from water.

[@nickn8502]

The water wasn’t really from Hinkley - it was a very clever piece of improvisation from Erin. But the woman didn’t know that! She had a choice: drink the water to save face and continue negotiations - but put her life at risk in the process. Or not drink the water to protect her health, thereby admitting fault. Which is why she ended negotiations. Very clever. Love Erin. Love this movie.

[@chrismc410]

@@nickn8502 i think that was a lie on her part to drive the point home. If it was really that water from a known tainted source, Erin could be charged with Attempted Poisoning, maybe Attempted Murder, maybe her boss too for Accessory. Of course, charging her would most likely make PG&E reveal how the water was tainted in the criminal trial. While Erin would likely go to prison, PG&E would still get sued and have even more irrefutable evidence: The transcript, Judge, Jury, Defense Attorney, Prosecutor et cetera from Erin's trial all can be subpoenaed or legally accessible in a related civil trial. Media possibly could paint her as a martyr, giving up her freedom for the thousands of clients harmed. Governor of the state in question in an effort to assure reelection or brownie points in that aim would consider pardoning Erin. After all pardons have been granted to far less worthy people for even less noble reasons.

Shanice girls can be terrible but in all fairness some of the guys are awful too. Good girls don’t grow on trees. Obviously, as a Christian I would like to make one suggestion there’s a book called evidence the demands a verdict By Josh McDowell. He also was an atheist but when he got to looking at the common sense the logic in the truth of the Bible that’s when he became a believer.
