I should have wrote this review right after I watched the movie but I was too busy doing internet stalking.

I think Hilary Swank is amazing. I like her in most rolls. Have you seen a trend in my movie watching? I usually like one of the actors or I really don't watch the movie. Anyway, this is a flick about the life of Ameilia Earhart. It highlights the time from her first go over the Atlantic(not solo) to her try to go around the circumfrance of the earth. I really like how they portrayed Ameilia. She was a very strong woman at a time when it was not popular or easy to be a strong woman. In some ways, they had a little bit of a negative light cast upon her because she didn't feel she was the marrying type but overall the goodness of the rest of the movie overcame that. I love how Ameilia was an adventure type. I am not the adventureous type so it is good to live that way through film. I had a hard time being in a little plane with my brother for about a half an hour, I cannot even imagine going 20 hours across the ocean!

This movie also made me want to read Earhart's memoirs this summer. She was a brilliant and amazing lady.

Check out this flick...but I am not sure how accurate the information within the film is. I will get back to you when I have done my reading!

I give this Five history books out of five!
