Julia Roberts stars in the.A rather melancholy cue, 'Miss Wichita' accompanies Erin's story about how she was a beauty queen, and had all sorts of hopes and dreams that (sadly) never came to pass. Julia Roberts Steven Soderbergh - A real woman. There are plenty of darker moments, such as 'Chicken Fat Lady', where Erin discovers that the lady she used to leave her kids with has vanished - and the children were missing.Get this from a library Erin Brockovich. Employing a jazzy bluegrass approach to the theme, Newman conveys Erin's situation perfectly, and in the film you felt bad for her state of affairs.

A rather tense moment in the film, this is where Erin is trying to copy documents from the Water Board to show that the chemical levels were too high. If that's not a testament to creating your own 'style' of film scoring, then I don't know what is!One of the more bizarre dissonant cues, 'Xerox Copy' seems to be more of a jumble than a written score, but upon multiple listenings, it became quite clear that there was form within the cue. My friend who was in the car when I had the album on instantly said, 'Oh - this is Thomas Newman, right?' He never saw Erin Brockovich, and didn't know what the album was.
