A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2014)

Richard Attenborough's Gandhi is the best and most inspirational movie of 1982. Based on the life ans times of Mahatma Gandhi another one of the world's most influential men who believed in nonviolent protest in order to get independence from England in the mid 1900's, but soon Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. would use that same method for the Civil Rights Movement a few decades later. The movie stars Ben Kingsley in his only Oscar winning role as Gandhi who really was a man of his word, the movie compares to historical epics like Braveheart, Lawrence of Arabia, Schindler's List, Amistad, Malcolm X, and The Bridge on the River Kwai. Though mostly historically accurate the movie deserved all of the Oscars it took at the 55th Academy awards ceremony because it is just a great movie.
