Erin Brockovich vs. Daniel Kearns
In comparison of these two movies, I would have to say that they each come from a completely different style of filmmaking. While they both share a common theme, I think that the writers had very different intentions with each script. The title of the movie concerning Daniel Kearns was Flash of genius. It was about an inventor who had his idea stolen by a huge corporation and set out to claim his invention, not just a settlement as in a lot of court cases, but he wanted his name on his own invention. It was the principle of the matter that was his major concern. Erin Brockovich, on the other hand, concerned a class action lawsuit against another huge corporation. But in this story, many human lives were affected. The story of Erin Brockovich was an emotional one much more in my opinion than Flash of Genius. Erin Brockovich involved many people whose health was affected in a really bad way by a unethical corporation. Flash of Genius told the story of a one-man fight against a car manufacturer. A man who turned down a huge sum of money that would have provided for his family’s future simply for the fame of having his name recognized.
