My Hero

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2006)

Being of Indian descent, I've known about Gandhi since I was incredibly young. He was a hero, someone who helped India become what it is today. However, I have never seen the movie. My mother liked the movie, but said it brought back too many memories about how badly India was treated. So I was eager to watch this in my World Religions class.
Sir Ben Kingsley gives the performance of a lifetime as Gandhi, "The Little Man in the Loin Cloth". Never have I seen such dedication to a film role. His Oscar was well deserved. The other performances are wonderful and memorable as well. Once of the best movies ever made. Gandhi is my hero.
