Hi Mike!
Erin Brockovich was the movie I enjoyed the most since the first class! Actually when you told us it would be a serious movie the week before, I was kinda worry because I was afraid I would be bored. However, it failed to bored me, it impressed me seriously.
Without doubt, the wholes story is inspiring as well as stirring. But what impressed me the most was Julia Roberts. She gave the characteristic so much and it was almost ten years after the first time she was nominated by the Oscar, but she won what she deserved by this movie finally. Though I don't know how the true Erin Brocovich would be, I can see her beauty, careless, strength and wisdom from Julia Roberts acting. What's could a director want more, right? And another amazing part of this movie is that although all of us have already known the end of the story, we are will attracted by the plot.
This movie also reminds me of another one-Legally Blonde. The latter one is also about a charming girl who has no any knowledge background about law finally finds her niche as a lawyer. But it's totally a different style compared to Erin Brockovich, Legally Blonde would be a typical chick flick one. Usually I prefer this kind of movie more than the serious one like Erin Brockovich cause I always feel peaceful when seeing the former type. But surprisingly I felt peaceful also when seeing Erin Brockovich at class! Maybe I should try not to be scared by the type of a movie next time. Starting with the America History X, haha~
