Hamlet

Your typical Julia Roberts film tends to do what it says : big budget romance with that smile, and those legs. Open up Erin Brockovich, though, and inside is something radically new: a superlative character piece where you actually stop thinking about Julia Roberts, and immerse yourself in the travails and triumphs of trashy single mum Erin Brockovich and her legal crusade. Steven Soderbergh has directed this classy film, that is basically one woman’s fight …showed first 75 words of 613 total…

…showed last 75 words of 613 total…This movie is also very similar to what we have been taught in class about big corporations exploiting those whose voices cannot be heard by the general public. The crime committed by the big corporate companies in this movie falls under corporate crimes against consumers, and more specifically Environmental racism. Overall this movie was very inspirational, because it showed that if people take action against corporate crime, then there is hope for it to end.
