Yeah...No.2 liker....wooohoooo😅

You may have seen it in the trivia and it just didn't make it into the YT cut, but the real Erin Brockovich is in this movie, playing the waitress in the diner.

Christina Doxstader

I love the scene at the end when Ed gives her her bonus and she just goes off because she thinks he's giving her less. Albert Finney holding back a smile and laugh is just awesome to watch. RIP to a true gem.

Dirge Girl

For more environmental catastrophes caused by the evil greed of corporations, look into the real-life tale of Love Canal.

Sharla Beverly

The actress that didn't want to talk to Erin, that you said you saw in another movie was the sheriff in Signs.

Klaus Niehues

The actress that George remembers as "problematic" played Matt Damon's mother in Ocean's 12 (also by Steven Soderbergh).

Renee MeowMeow Beans

Yay!! I'm so glad both liked this movie. 🙂 I've really fallen in love with Steven Soderbergh's style of directing over the past 10 years or so. I watched this for the first time a couple years ago, catching up with his output, and he has a real knack for capturing humanity - the good and the not so good.

Yep, Cherry Jones. She's a bit of a theater legend (two Tony Awards), and if I'm not mistaken, made the transition to the screen pretty late in her career (and she's now won three Emmy Awards since doing so, for Transparent, The Handmaid's Tale, and Succession).

That light is Soderbergh light. Happens in the Ocean’s trilogy, Out of Sight, Contagion, etc.

Dan Holmes

Please watch BIG FISH for more of Erin's Boss Guy I wanna cry with Simone on that one :)

Bookwormy

This movie makes me want you guys to watch Pretty Woman, with Julia and Richard Gere, very cheesy romance, but also heartfelt

That feels like a movie Simone would have seen. But if not, then absolutely, it’s terrific.

Dan Holmes

It’s color graded what way cause it takes place in Mexico just a few years before Heisenberg gets there.

Dan Holmes

A movie with a slightly similar feel that no one reacts to but won best picture and is amazing is Spotlight

I was going to mention that. That diner is actually in my home town. While they were filming there, my father missed bumping into Julia Roberts by just a few minutes at a nearby Starbucks.

Happy Hanukkah

I *love* that cleavage! The only person hotter than young Albert Finney is old Albert Finney, hubba hubba! :-P

Matthew Johnson

Soderbergh was nominated for Best Director at the Oscars twice in the same year, for this and for "Traffic" - he won for Traffic but I always think he should have won for this one. It really is just such a well made Hollywood movie, the quintessential "they don't make it like that anymore" film. (btw Traffic would be great on the channel!)

Happy Hanukkah

1:28 I'm reminded of Mariska Hargitay's hilarious job interview on E.R.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPivR2siG3E 11:30 And this reminds me of one of William Shatner's first performances as Denny Crane (initially on The Practice): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaSxTMrXbt4 30:33 And in today's episode of "Advanced Mathematics with Happy Hanukkah": 634 in 5 days, let's give her 6 hours of sleep, that's just over 7 per hour. 36:22 "The real Erin Brockovich-Ellis claimed that the film was 98-99% accurate." Among the 1-2% inaccurate: the pollutant was not the completely fictional* hexavalent chromium, but rather the infamous FCM**. * OK, perhaps not completely. ** Scientific name: Funky Cold Medina.

Simon Pegged Me

For another David-versus-Goliath legal drama, I recommend Francis Ford Coppola's The Rainmaker (1997). It's pure fiction—not based on true events—but it's so entertaining, and it has some amazing performances, Danny DeVito's and Mickey Rourke's in particular.

Logan Kerlee

First time watching this, I really enjoyed the movie! Big thanks to all who voted for this. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this one. :)

I actually knew the woman scientist at Roswell Park Cancer Institute who found the evidence against the company poisoning the Love Canal area near Niagara Falls. (Beverly Paigen) . She was a colleague of my mother's when they were graduate students together.

George, the woman who is the town's angry woman is played by the fantastic character actress Cherry Jones, whom you guys saw as the sheriff in the movie SIGNS, among other things. Meanwhile, Erin Brockovich is a great example of Hollywoodization -- Kathleen Sharp's original investigative article at Salon has one of the best overviews. For instance, the two million-dollar bonus Masry gave Erin came out of the $10 million extra he tacked onto his bill to the town after the judgment. Masry also held onto the $340-ish million payout for 6 months without dispersing it to the clients, making a boatload of additional money for his firm in interest (and none of the frantic townspeople were able to reach Masry or Erin at all -- so much for Erin caring about being there for people). Several plaintiffs died waiting for their money during that 6 months Masry withheld the award. The arbitration process also meant that the criteria for disbursement was kept secret and when people were paid it seemed to be arbitrary, with some townspeople getting $2 million and others $25k regardless of illness or circumstance and many others still asking where their money went. Masry also charged the children in the case one-third of the settlement fees despite California Law saying that attorneys should take one-quarter as the norm. There are also several articles, including an extensive investigative piece by Kathleen Sharp in Salon from years back, that question the integrity of the research by Brockovich, etc., as toxicologists have pointed out that chromium 6 wouldn't typically cause a lot of the cancers and illnesses, even in the long term. (I'm sure it's still horrible for you, however.) PG&E was also not hiding anything and was in compliance with regulations for hexavalent chromium when it was sued and there wasn't any increased prevalence of suspected related cancers in the area. So yeah, the movie, Erin, and Masry are not exactly beloved in Hinckley, despite the movie's whitewashing. What amused me is that the movie does at least depict Erin as a frequent cruel and insulting to anyone who's not a size 6 or visibly dying in front of her -- and this is supposed to be the "nice" version of her! Evidently in real life she was even worse to people. Which means that it's telling that the dying woman in the town who makes Erin look the most sympathetic on film is a completely fictional character. Still, as horrible as Erin can be, Julia Roberts manages to make Erin almost likable and Albert Finney is positively adorable as Ed. In other words, yes, it's a great movie but it's a total Hollywood exaggeration snow job. But let's just say that many, many people in Hinckley do not love Erin Brockovich or the late Ed Masry.
