EOC Week 3 Erin Brockovich

Julia Roberts starred in the blockbuster box office hit Erin Brockovich. The movie was actually based on a true story back then in the year 2000. Erin Brockovich was actually a real person and the inspiration behind the whole film since the beginning. Erin wasn’t at the Shrine Auditorium to celebrate Julia on the film, she was instead somewhere else housing a sick child. Erin was a mother who had gone through divorce twice. Roberts also didn’t thank her for the real life inspiration for the film. In the real world problems Erin was in a mess with her first ex-husband for many problems also adding to that she was being sued by her second ex-husband for defamation. So three interesting things came up from out of this. The movie was inspired by someone based on actual events that were happening at the same time during the making of the movie which is really amazing. Erin was having miserable time of her own with her two ex-husbands, one she was having serious problems and other was suing for defamation. The movie was still on the same page like Erin for the movie since she gave the inspiration behind the whole film in the first place. I find the whole concept of both the film making and event partaking and converging together that brought out the movie. The film was shot at the town where Erin lived and that adds more to the events and also the inspiration. PG&E actions in the film were also real. The story behind the hazardous chromium was true and the people in the town were drinking contaminated water and in real life. The movie also gave Julia a sense of uncomfortable to people because how she acted in the film but it was her choice to do for she wanted to have fun with it.
