    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    When the PG&E lawyers present an offensively low settlement offer, Erin (Julia Roberts) makes them wish they never opened their mouths.
    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.

      It was between Julia and Ellen (who gives an undeniably heart-wrenching performance), but this was always Julia’s to win. People forget that when this film came out, she was America’s sweetheart with a bubbly, wholesome image and was typically only cast in romantic comedies. No one thought she could pull off a role as edgy as this one. But oh did she ever. She hit a home run, and it took everyone by surprise. It marked a turning point in her career and people started to really take her seriously as a dramatic actress.

      @@chrispa9573 As good as Roberts was, Burstyn was better. That being said, Requiem for a Dream was a much more polarizing film, and many viewers didn't like it, and thus Burstyn was not as universally praised as Roberts. That's why Roberts got the Oscar. Just my 2 cents.

    The lawyer's refusal to drink the water after hearing it was from the well that they are contesting as toxic was enough capitulation for the utility company's gross negligence. She should have brought a gallon to court and asked the defendant lawyers to drink it in front of the court LOL.

      I think it meant more that she didn't drink it when she was told where it came from. They're tried arguing for years that the water was safe and that the amount of toxicity in the water was miniscule. Her not drinking, just shows she didn't want to take the risk herself.

The Academy obviously just used this opportunity to give an Academy Award to a well-known actress. One of the biggest Oscar failures of all time!

    The real Erin Brockovich was so good at taking on big corporations she was 11/11 in all cases she pursued.
    Her reputation got so good when the corporation heard she was onto them. They instructed the lawyers to settle whatever she requested before it got to a court or before she dug too deep. She won half a billion dollars in settlements in her life-time without a law degree.
    In fact, she won cases as just a legal clerk she won over $10 million in commissions from the cases which are more than some law-firms get without a legal degree.
    After winning this case, a lot of law firms she applied at that turned her down, begged her to come work for them.
    To this day, a lot of lawyers whenever they catch wind that Brockovich is looking into something, most start digging cause they know she found a gold-mine.

    The one thing keeping this from being one of the greatest movie moments EVER is that bitch lawyer not drinking the water because Erin dropped that bomb too early, but still Julia Roberts nailed it.

    • @VintageRose75
      @VintageRose75 8 лет назад +62

      It maybe would have been very effective if she had already taken a drink. However, I feel by telling her it was from a well in Hinkley, and then her not taking a drink, spoke volumes and was incredibly powerful, too. It demonstrated to everyone there that they obviously wouldn't want to drink the water, so why should they expect the Hinkley residents to?

    • @Ciclopea2

      You also run into potential legal troubles when you essentially poison their drink. Not saying is a sure winner, just saying it is certainly a possibility that is not worth the risk. But like you said, her putting down the drink was just as effective if not more.

    • @VintageRose75
      @VintageRose75 8 лет назад +6

      +Olbohn Thanks, guys! Yes, just so powerful that she hesitated and didn't take the drink. That made it obvious to everyone there, including herself, the unwillingness and danger of drinking contaminated water. And, if it was not safe for her to drink, why should she and the other lawyers and PG&E Corporate expect the Hinkley residents to drink it and/or not be compensated adequately for all of their health issues?! Just such a powerful scene...not just by all that was said, but everything that was implied.

    • @MK-hy3ko
      @MK-hy3ko 7 лет назад +6

      That's called poisoning and would have put her at legal risk and its good she warned her about source and content of water. It was up to the bitch now to drink or not.

      No, the whole point was to tell her BEFORE she drank it. She demonstrated that given a choice, she didn't want to drink water from Hinckley. She knows the water is poisonous.

      I think you’d be taken more seriously if you had said “black American” and even that is me being incredibly generous about not saying the “wrong thing.” 🤦🏻‍♂️
      Look, I wasn’t about to conduct a research project on IMDB. I just said she was a good actor. Get a hold of yourself. There was only one black woman in the scene, and you immediately knew who it was. I just wanted to point out who I thought humored me in the scene and now I might as well be holding a torch.
      She played her part well, didn’t know her name. Wanted to give her props. Don’t worry, next time I’ll just avoid giving credit where credit is due.
