Wow

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2005)

I had practically no interest in watching this film, until my girlfriend made me watch it with her. I grabbed my pillow because I thought I'd be catching some zzz's. From the funeral scene onwards I became very interested and was kinda captivated by the movie. The acting was great and the film just had this sense of sheer magnitude to it.
You learn about a guy named Ghandi in history class, but it just becomes another name. I think the film did a great job of capturing the spirit of this man, and showing the greatness of his ideals. The idea of a peaceful little brown man in loincloth helping to bring down an empire is almost revolting, yet so refreshing. It's honestly one of those films you have to see during your lifetime.
