A stunning portrait of one of the most important men in our history

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2005)

Gandhi was a man who had many followers and stood up to the British armies in India. He didn't use a sword or a gun, and he never had to hurt anyone, he was a man who could use words and get an entire nation to follow and believe in him. That my friends is a true, powerful leader. The film Gandhi is often called one of the worst films ever to win Best Picture. It is an excellent movie and was very deserving of its Best Picture Oscar.
The movie starts out with his assassination, and then the rest of the movie tells the story about his life, from the start to the end.
The acting is great in this movie, even though it is very hard, and unhealthy to become as thin as Gandhi was, but Ben Kingsley does a great job at playing the part. This movie follows the events that took place during his time very well, and portrays them realistically.
Despite having a long running time, this is a very well worth watching movie, and you should see Gandhi to see how a man can change the world without raising a fist.
