Amazing Movie

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2004)

Every review here says: It's four hours, and somewhat boring. Have you ever seen a 4-hour movie before? The Godfather perhaps? This is one of the best movies of all time not only because of its historical accuracy, cinematography, or acting, but the fact that it is so moving. Few movies know how to touch all aspects of the human soul as Gandhi does. Ben Kingsley is amazing in the movie. Nehru's character does a fabulous job as does Jinnah's. The historical accuracy is amazing considering this movie was done by a person other than an Indian. I do admit it is slanted towards the Hindu Indians more than Muslims or British, but that is really in essence the point of the movie. It is about Gandhi and really the struggle of the Indian people. It portrays all of the characters very well as they are developed throughout the movie in excrutiating details.
Kudos to the director and a wonderful job on such a fabulous movie.
I give it 4.5 out of 5.
