AMELIA 2009 MOVIE REVIEW
"Amelia" - This movie version of "Amelia Earhart" is a look at the life of legendary American pilot "Amelia Earhart," (played by two-time Best Actress Oscar winner Hilary Swank), who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to make a flight around the world. "Amelia," the film, does not attempt to offer a solution to the mystery of the disappearance of "Amelia Earhart." Ron Bass delivered the "Amelia" movie script just before the WGA strike began, and he used Susan Butler's book "East to the Dawn," Mary Lovell's "The Sound of the Wings" and Elgin Long's "Amelia Earhart: The Mystery Solved" as primary resources. After becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, Amelia was thrust into a new role as America's sweetheart - the legendary "goddess of light," known for her bold, larger-than-life charisma.

She was an inspiration to people everywhere, from First Lady Eleanor
