Would have been better if

Rating: 3/10 (20 September 2019)

This movie would have been better if they had not stereotyped people in black and white terms. Indians - good. British - bad. Come on. Where is the nuance and realism. One example is the scene where the Indians were staging a non violent protest, and are then viciously mowed down by the evil British. Not only do they have all the Indians in white, but not ONE of them is doing anything wrong, no one causing any trouble at all, just all innocent, law abiding, smiles on their faces innocents. I've been to the best of rallies and it's NEVER that way. This was just too over the top in order to make a point, and I saw too many instances of this in the film. To me, that is always insulting to the audience that you can't make up your own mind and must be spoonfed who the "good" guys and "bad" guys are. I expected more from a movie with Ben Kingsley. Scenery was good, but I wish they had not made such caricatures of the Indians and of the British.
