Research Paper #1: Entertainment vs. History
When viewing the movie for entertainment it proves to be a perfect romantic drama. However the film is advertised to be a historically accurate biography of Amelia Earhart. To a viewer that has never researched Earhart or the history behind American women in Aviation, they might not notice the missing or inaccurate facts in the film. Amelia manages to summarize Earhart's life and her major accomplishments but presents minor facts inaccurately.
