A Remarkable Movie About The Greatest Man Of The Century.

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2014)

Why do people not like this? Why say this is one of the worst movie to win the Oscar for Best Picture? Nobody knew this would not be a timeless movie. Sure Attenborough himself admitted ET was the better movie by miles, but Gandhi is a different kind of movie that is meant to give information and make people think, as Attenborough says "a visual interpretation." Either way, say this is boring or fun, everybody must admit how well-done this movie was. Maybe it was inferior to ET in some standards, but Gandhi rises above ET in the most. Sir Ben Kingsley is chilling to the bone as the Mahatma, giving one of the best screen performances ever. The way he walks, talks and behaves is so much like the real Gandhi that residents mistaken Kingsley for the real Gandhi. Some of his speeches are so fascinating and inspirational about freedom and unity, you know he deserved the Oscar win. Aside from Kingsley's acting and everybody else's acting. The general filming was monumental too, at David Lean and Cecil B. DeMille levels. Although this is inferior to those men's top works, Attenborough brings back that style just when we need it most. The movie may be boring as it suffers from a dragged excessive length that could easily be condensed, the sets and shots are very nice to look at. And the story is one that had not been done in years. I found this to be the 80's Lawrence of Arabia.
Take a rare, epic look at the man that set an entire country free and united all of its nations.
4/4
