Amelia
When you're making a film about a pixieish lady who succeeded in a man's world, Hilary Swank's your go-to girl. At first I found her accent odd here, but turns out that's just the way pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart talked. Amelia is as fluffy and diaphanous as the white clouds and fluttering silk scarves it so often depicts, constantly reiterating that flying slaked Earhart's thirst for "freedom" from social constraints.

About
FiveThousand is a subcultural guide to Adelaide, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Adelaide writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FiveThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
