CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Erin (Julia Roberts) defends her research and puts Theresa (Veanne Cox) in her place by displaying an impressive amount of knowledge on the clients.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Julia Roberts stars in this legal drama based on the true story of a woman who helped win the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit. Erin Brockovich (Roberts) is a single mother of three who, after losing a personal injury lawsuit, asks her lawyer, Ed Masry (Albert Finney), if he can help her find a job. Ed gives her work as a file clerk in his office, and she runs across some information on a little-known case filed against Pacific Gas and Electric. Erin begins digging into the particulars of the case, convinced that the facts simply don't add up, and persuades Ed to allow her to do further research; in time, she discovers a systematic cover-up of the industrial poisoning of a city's water supply, which threatens the health of the entire community. Erin Brockovich was directed by Steven Soderbergh; Julia Roberts earned a $20 million payday for her work on the film, the highest salary paid to a female film star up to that time.

People misunderstand this scene. The files they're looking at are her personal notes taken from her home. She did not know they were going to be in this meeting. They are not the actual case files. She didn't keep the numbers on the files because she is dyslexic. I'm sure if she had been asked ahead of this meeting, or at the very least asked without a condescending tone, she would've added them to her notes.

What I love, just as much as Julia's epic performance is everyone else's reaction. Her bosses awkward glance to his boss, who is at first curious and then impressed to the other lady, who gets more and more embarrassed and looks for support but doesn't get it. The interaction by everyone else is amazingly well done.

[@ApartmentKing66]

Well, that was just one of 600. I'm sure she retained a lot of info, some people can do that, but you can't tell me that Miss Brocko memorized everything about 600 people. But even if she did, which I highly doubt, who the hell's got time to sit and listen to the other 599? If Brocko knew the phone number of the people in that one file, it should've been in the file. That lady in the suit may have been a tad presumptuous, but I can see why she was. If I were her, I would've asked why Miss Brocko didn't write it down instead of sitting there acting like a smug know-it-all. Remember, this is a movie made to make Erin Brockovich look like some sort of altruistic saint. People act like the screenplay is a court transcript of what she did, who she interacted with and how, and it wasn't. Whoever thinks so is gullible and disconnected from reality.

[@beachstreet101]

InvestorGuy66 She had no idea her files were going to be taken without her permission. Nor did she know others were going to be looking at it that day. Had they actually said they like her files and to make sure everything is in there, such as phone numbers, etc., then she would’ve no doubt prepared them properly. She was ambushed, then criticized for work they never did.

@@beachstreet101 here's the thing: even though she gathered the info, those were her not HER files. As an employee of the firm, all data gathered while on the job is not hers.

That is what Erin agreed to when she signed onto a job. That's nothing new. Companies retain the rights to all things created/gathered when in employ.

The portrayal of the hierarchies in a law firm is so spot on - the mid level trying to gain territory by tearing others down, the top level affording the luxury to being impressed by the underdog. And showing it. This isn’t just an awesome guy having made partner for being smart and dedicated that now sees potential (in Erin). It S also someone who conditions his subordinates like the lady in the ugly shoes - he needs her to do the dirty work and try to screw people like Erin over, like taking the case from them. He also needs to keep his pitbulls in their place to work even harder - which he can also achieve by making her feel worthless through showing his respect for the underdog. It s a cruel version of divide and rule. Brilliantly written - this is how big lawfirms work. At almost every step of the way you re manipulated by a partner. They wouldn’t be where they are if they weren’t master manipulators

[@Kaboomboo]

@@Alusnovalotus Have you ever even met a lawyer? I work in a law firm and the attorneys are always swamped with work and phone calls, etc. They put a lot of faith in the people that work for them, legal assistants and paralegals, to have everything prepared accordingly. If a component is missing, something as crucial as contact information can be extremely frustrating and set a case back, something an attorney will have to go back to later. That's like working at a shoe store, and you go into the back to get something, but nothing is stocked properly. Or working at a food place and some ingredients for the food are missing. No lawyers I've ever met have been condescending or rude. Certainly I'm there to work for them, not the other way around, but they don't lord that over me as "I'm better than you" because they know I play a valuable role in their day to day work too. So if I'm missing something and didn't do my job properly, I should expect to be called out, and go back to do it properly, especially if they asked nicely. I certainly wouldn't tell them their shoes are ugly and get an attitude. I worked with an Erin type person at the firm and she loved doing things her own way, not the firms, and argued about it all the time. She didn't last long.

Anyone who think Erin was right here, clearly doesn’t have much executive or group project work experience- it’s called working professionally and collaboratively with everyone having access to the necessary information. Jeez. How we I’m glad Erin was passionate, she helped so many people.

[@fancy3029]

Well sure but this lady is a representation of the corporate bullshit that Erin has to consider, considering this is her life and she wont let just anyone take over

[@starcatcher3691]

I agree

[@longauldin462]

That is true, but there is a way to do and say things. She felt that Erin did not belong and she felt as though she was not going to even try to relate or even ask Erin any questions. She was in charge and that was it. Sometimes it is a good thing to stand up for yourself when no one else will. The lawyer knows that they are taking over a case that they, mostly Erin, has spent over a year working on. She did not ask Erin if she knew what was missing or anything. She assumed that by the way she was dressed and the fact she knew she wasn't a real lawyer. Her tone and facial expressions told everything. It all could have been handled a different way. Erin has done all the work. They could have at least asked for her imput and her boss could have stood up for her too. Erin was never by any means professional but she knew her job. The woman was snobby. GREAT movie. I only watched for class but this was good to see. Mirjam Heijn you have to put yourself in erins shoes and the other ladies shoes. Two wrongs do not make a right.

[@clubsnatcher]

I mean she isnt REALLY being that condescending until the end but by that point Erin was already being horribly aggresive

[@thewinner7382]

I agree. Erin is so unprofessional

[@Kaboomboo]

@@thewinner7382 for real. I know it's just a movie and for theatrics but I'd hate to believe she was really like this. I would've never called her back if she busted into my office and screamed at me when see was fired.

[@wallacebell4311]

Cute scene, but it would be smart to have all of the information written down because one never knows when one might get hit by a dump truck or get shot by a nut with a gun!!! Or get hit by a bolt of lightning or maybe fall down some stairs and suffer a concussion with a temporary loss of memory!!! Hey, it could happen! Never put all of your eggs in one basket is kinda like a truism!!!

That's cool that she remembered, but she's working with other people. Why couldn't she just have added the numbers to the files. She's not going to be with them every second of everyday.

[@joosoo]

These files were taken from her home and were her personal notes, not actual case files

[@Kaboomboo]

@@joosoo All notes taken pertaining to the case are case files. That's how companies and firms operate. So they do belong to the firm. There is no such thing as "personal" notes if they have anything to do with a case that is being overseen by the firm.

[@jenkins5265]

Never realized how bad this scene was. Perfect example of women hating on each other, judging each other by appearance rather than substance, and seeing each other as competition rather than allies. The lawyer made assumptions about Erin and Erin did about her as well.

[@celifacejones]

No. The lawyer was condescending and patronizing and Erin responded accordingly.

[@GW-gz8jh]

She was expanding on the idiom that was given. That’s wasn’t about actual shoes.

[@jenkins5265]

@@celifacejones I'm just pointing out that even in movies about female empowerment, there is a trope that women need to go it alone and other women are not supportive.

[@celifacejones]

@@jenkins5265 Yeah, but that doesn't apply here. They don't dislike each other because they're women, there's tension because her boss is handing off a case - a case she recognized and worked on for over a year - to people that look down their noses at her and dont respect her work or the plaintiffs.

[@jenkins5265]

celifacejones Except that the director chose a woman, the complete opposite of Erin, to play the role of the antagonist lawyer, even though it’s a big law firm with lots of people who would look down on her. Erin is beautiful, feisty, breaks rules and not a lawyer. Theresa is the exact opposite in every way. The male lawyer and Erins boss just watch the cat fight.

[@phoenixtypewriter2136]

Yup, bad research if phone numbers were known but not anywhere to be found in the files.

[@ApartmentKing66]

Thank you.

[@theflagbearer9196]

Like why not also write the numbers down, its good and well that you know them by heart.

[@michelleponzio]

As stated in other posts, Erin was dyslexic, so she wouldn't have been able to write those numbers down. So she memorized them. The files were taken from her house, without her knowledge. If she had forewarning that they were getting the files, she could've made sure the information was there. It was the way it was implied by Theresa that Erin didn't know what she was doing because she didn't have a degree that set Erin off. Theresa insulted Erin, so Erin insulted her back, which she was pretty much known for.

[@CherryBlossomBlyue]

Except these were her personal files/notes that she had in her house. They went and got it without her permission. Had she been informed she would have written them down.

[@Kaboomboo]

@@michelleponzio She didn't mention a degree though. It's not out of animosity she assumed she didn't know a crap ton of phone numbers by heart. How many people do you know do?

[@doody244]

I honestly don’t think Theresa did anything wrong. It’s great Erin knew everyone’s phone number but not everyone involved would. A paralegal might need to call them to schedule a meeting.

[@jportaMdza]

It was the tone of voice on Theresa that set off Erin..

[@Alusnovalotus]

Maxwell Housman so why couldn’t Theresa ask if Erin could help them with numbers instead of ASSUMING it wasn’t done?! The only flaw there was that Theresa didn’t see work done HER way. She sounded a little condescending when she vocalized this assumption. That’s where Erin burned her bad. That was the difference between someone “doing their job” and someone actually doing THE WORK Oh. And Erin has dyslexia, so writing wasn’t the best record keeping mechanism available to her. A simple request for numbers by Theresa in the first place would have made things simpler. Not assumptions made.

Most people don't understand how some people who have dyslexia are also blessed with either a photographic memory or one that is very good. I have mild dyslexia and I can tell you what my phone number was 30 plus years ago, the phone number of places I used to work along with a great deal of the extensions and that was some 20 years ago.

They were her personal notes, not the official records. She didn’t even know they were going to be used that day. The lawyer was assuming she didn’t know/was not smart enough to ask them.

[@Kaboomboo]

@@Autumn_Sunrise all notes and work product created while in employment of a firm do belong to the firm. So no, they do not belong to her. Personal or otherwise, they do pertain to the case so the firm does have a right to them of she took them while she was employed. It's all outlined in the employer-employee contract when someone is hired so this isn't a "shady" practice.

I know Theresa kinda deserved to be put in her place by Erin, but I actually felt bad for Theresa. She doesn’t seem like a genuine awful person, only biased (and maybe jealous) towards Erin. I guess when she would get to know Erin better, and be open for it, she would in fact appreciate Erin for who she is. Unpopular opinion: I’m team Theresa haha! (but also Erin, of course…). They both deserve credit for who they are and what they worked for.
