Hamlet

A detailed Summary of 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 against corporate crime. With its slant on the corporate pollution of groundwater and the resulting health concerns, Erin Brockovich couldn\'t have been released at a better time. Uncertainty about contaminate drinking water have dominated the news in recent weeks, and aspects of this movie will undoubtedly strike a nerve for some viewers. After all, few things can be more insidious than impure water, since water is one of the natural resourc


es we take for granted. Erin Brockovich is based on an actual case - a fact that makes the basic storyline all the more discomforting.The film opens with a car accident. The vehicle driven by Erin Brockovich (Roberts), an unemployed single mother of three, is broadsided by a speeding car at an intersection. She takes her case to lawyer Ed Masry (Finney), who agrees to represent her on a contingency basis. However, in court, Erin\'s surly manner and profane vocabulary do not endear her to the jury, which finds in the defendant\'s favor. Both Erin and Ed go home empty-handed. Still without work and needing to pay her bills, Erin tries an unusual approach to get a job: half-bullying, half-pleading with her former attorney for a position as a file clerk. With grave reservations, Ed relents. When a pro bono real estate case file comes across her desk, Erin becomes intrigued and begins investigating.
