Movie Review - "Amelia"
Considering the difficulty in making a movie about Amelia Earhart, I think it was nicely done as far as it went. It showed her determination to defy convention and the emotion of the importance and danger of her flights. The affair with Eugene Vidal is in question. It did not show her depth of character, her skills and ability to the extent which she deserves.
A lot of aspects of her life, her family influence, her intelligence, her business skills, her teaching ability were not shown.
It did introduce us to a beautiful person of whom we need to know more.
