A Historical Epic

Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2000)

A great film and an excellent History lesson. Eventhough the director simplifies Gandhi and the Indian Nationalist movement, he does do a good job in giving you a Idea of what Gandhi stood for. It would have helped if he also highlighted some of Gandhi's weak points. Gandhi's whole phiolsophy about human beings was that no one is perfect and each one of us must search for the truth. Gandhi is sometimes depicted as a saint. The fact is that he was not, he was one of the greatest men of the last century but not perfect. However this is a great film and should be watched by everyone.
