Erin Brockovich

Today I watched Erin Brockovich -Julia Roberts, as always a stupendous performance.SO its a story of a single Mom of 3 children, 10 yrs, 8 yrs n few months...uneducated, unemployed having a tough time raising her children n struggling for job to arrange the money.
Till the time she decides not to be bent according to wishes of males in her life, but to do where she finds meaning in her life, respect for herself.So stumbling on a job of doc keeper in a law firm, she discover a 38billion dollar firm doing grave assault on life by hiding the fact that their plant uses a form of
chromium thats toxic and has led to various kinds of deadly diseases to inhabitants in the nearby area, while investigating a real state issue of a family being offered some small amount in offer to sell their house.

She discovers the link of land n disease, researches the roots, gives people the faith and gets them the justice earning respect and meaning in turn.

In between she has to struggle for her children don't understand why she has to put herself so occupied, her new found love insists its no need to carry on with the job
his boss that the case cant be handled by them .......she manages to get them all addressed in most inspiring manner.Not dogged down by threatening call , neither by
the prospect of loosing it all.........here she was doing the best what could ever be done.
The unrelenting attitude and straight faced answers she could give to shitty remarks of people , u just loved her responses making the ridiculous comments of others dump on their own faces. The confidence -"my research has no loop holes" "ask me whose no u want" out of 635 people inhabiting the area since the plant was established "tell them I am not a lawyer" on the question of being trusted, "multiply the cost of ur intestine by 100 , no less then that would be negotiable" when intimidated by the company's lawyers.
.The magnanimity of the character - is just enthralling n u could imagine urself stepping in her shoes n fighting for the people .
