I want to point out some things:
(1) You can't find out anything worth knowing about someone through their portrayal by a Hollywood actress in a Hollywoon movie;
(2) P.I. attorneys and the like are not shining paragons of morality, character, and justice. They are not generally thought of as do-gooders. Not by genuine do-gooders, anyway. Nor by their clients.
(3) Julia Roberts is not Erin Brokovich.
(4) Hollywood has a ton of activists in their celeb ranks. They are not shining paragons of morality either. They just play the part.
(5) Real activists (which has nothting to do with the movie, nor with the subject of the movie) shoot for an over-reaction. They sensationalize their cause and try to stir up an over reaction on the part of legislature in order to get ANY reaction. They are not using smart bombs, they are carpet bombers. This type of dramatic over reaction has permeated into popular culture and media. People these days want to call their Congressman if they get bad service at Olive Garden. So the whole assumption that people are victimized has become largely relative. Everyone is a victim, and everyone is being denied their rights.
