Erin Brockovich

I love Soderbergh. The more work I watch from him the more I'm in awe with him. He manages to purify his scenes to the most sincerest form. It's almost like watching a documentary at certain points. Everyone, and when I say everyone, I mean the smallest character you can imagine appereaing for 5 minutes, is AMAZING. It's crazy how much a good director can pull from actors; in the end, I had to remind myself the actors aren't real people from the PG&E case. Julia Roberts truly deserved an Oscars for playing Erin. What brought the sincerety to the observer is, of course, the scenario, and secondly the costimography and make up. It's unbelievable how good but tacky Julia looks; Erin's tax bracket is palpable. And the random details as her hair being undone and curly throught the film and the in the last scene it's blown out straight, like she finally has it all together. Just chef's kiss. Lawyer's and the people from the lawsuit's outfits do the justice as well. What I appreciate as well is the feminist note. It's visible in the most subtle forms, without being advertised as feminist or screaming it like Barbie or Poor things did lately. How Erin takes her kids to a diner and proceeds to not eat because they are broke, to her fierceness in finding work and getting it done. She breaks the rules and acts unconvient and wild in moments because the rules were set up people who have it much easier than she ever did. Only a mother, and only a single, no alimony mother, can fight like that.
