I will try my best to be directbut not harsh. "Amelia" is quite possibly the most expensive mistakemade in the film world today, and made it was, for the worst reasons.It's one thing to tackle an interpretation of a historical figure, andanother to depict it. David Lean once said that a director must be verycareful not to turn sequences into featherweight lantern slides whichjust tell the plot. The writer and director of this film have committedthis tragic mistake: they tell the story, they don't interpret it.

Amelia is not as great as Public Enemies or Aviator, but it does have agreat sense of moral rights and a big heart to fill up some of theholes in the films plot. But it is a great film to watch Swank work andshow how(yet again.) that Women can do just as much as men can do. It'sa truly compelling and emotional film that I know if your forgiving andkind it will deliver a great movie experience.
