Sinopsis(1)
Tras ser la primera mujer que cruzó el Atlántico, Amelia, de repente, se convirtió en la novia de América, la legendaria "diosa de la luz", famosa por su audaz y excepcional carisma. Sin embargo, a pesar de su fama, consolidada mundialmente, su predilección por el riesgo y por ser ella misma, una mujer independiente y directa, no se aplacó nunca. Fue fuente de inspiración para muchos, desde la Primera Dama Eleanor Roosevelt (Cherry Jones) hasta los hombres más próximos a su corazón: su esposo y agente, el magnate del mundo editorial George P. Putnam (Richard Gere, ganador del Globo de Oro), y su amigo durante mucho tiempo y después amante, el piloto Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). En el verano de 1937, Amelia decidió acometer su misión más arriesgada hasta ese momento: volar en solitario alrededor del mundo, un viaje al que tanto George como ella creían estar destinados inexorablemente, cualquiera que fuera el resultado, que se convertiría en uno de los viajes más famosos de la historia.

Amelia Earhart isn’t Amélie of Montmartre, so don’t expect a very likable and crazy cartoonish character, but rather an overly stylish harlot who is lucky because she can fly damn well. But when the creators don’t shoot even the aerial shots nicely and everything else is very average or bad you can’t expect a good biopic. It fascinates me that they managed to get actors like Richard Gere or Ewan McGregor into such a bad movie and that the distributor had the balls to claim that Hilary Swank gave an unforgettable performance. She didn’t.

This is seemingly the ideal substance, cast and all. Yet the result is a film for which Richard Gere was wasted. Hilary Swank is drowned in a mask that is so authentic it doesn't give her a chance to act at all. Ewan McGregor's character is unnecessary, and the worst realization of all is that all the cut scenes are important and would have made for a much better and more compact experience if they had remained in the film. Thus it is a film without emotions, without any psychology of the characters, and instead is just a biographical illustration.

A biopic with stunning aerial shots, without exception excellent actors, haunting music that recalls John Barry's classics... And, unfortunately, with an ordinary story with a minimum of surprises. That's what we get with Amelia. It’s not bad at all, but also not astounding in any way. As far as the direction is concerned, I have reservations about the constant repetition of the same processes (the two Atlantic crossings look - except for the storm - practically the same, the film is constantly interspersed with news captions in order to make it as vivid as possible, and the director seems to have taken a great liking to the "archival black-and-white footage suddenly becomes a color film"), yet the great insert of shooting and photographing commercials is to be commended. There should have been more such livening in Amelia.
