Erin Brockovich
God damnit it can't keep rating films 5 starts, but this one is so absolutely deserving of it.
Genuinely found myself smiling for the whole two hours, only broken by some tears. Literally everything you could ever want from a film: cool hot lawyer-adjacent lady with a killer style and humble origins fighting a multi billion dollar corporation with her old disgruntled boss for the good of everyday people.
Makes you think how much we give up for our jobs, how much they mean to us, why we do them. She sacrificed so much and got to help so many people in return. But those workers sacrificed their health for working in poison... why? What do we gain from any of this shit? Fuck these companies. Mess their shit up, because they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. Don't do anything more than you're paid to do unless you're helping someone else. Practice the art of lowkey being a bad employee. Not in the too-lazy-to-help-your-coworkers-during-the-lunch-rush way, but in a I-am-Robin-Hooding-this-bitch (I'm not condoning theft, but like, you get what I'm saying).
Oh and George, what a cutie, loved him. Omg and baby Beth, maybe having kids isn't so off-putting after all because she was adorable. Oh and I NEED her wardrobe. I knew I'd love this film. It's like Elle Woods if she was a working class divorced mum of three.
