A powerful biopic of wisdom, compassion and selflessness

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 2008)

This film is about Gandhi, a man with remarkable vision and wisdom, who led India to independence.
"Gandhi" is truly remarkable. The most amazing aspect of this film is probably Ben Kingsley's performance. He gives a fine performance in every stage of Gandhi's life: as a young lawyer with a unique vision, as a wise and compassionate leader and as a frail elderly.
Another striking feature is the vast logistic involved in the film. There are so many crowd scenes with literally thousands of people. The organisation of these scenes is an impressive feat in its own right, not to mention the massive visual and emotional impact that these scenes provoke.
Last but not least, the dialog in Gandhi is very well written. Only few movies can deliver powerful lines in every scene. Gandhi's immense wisdom, compassion and selflessness are shown through these amazing words, sending shock waves of respect and sympathy through viewers.
"Gandhi" is a powerful and emotional biopic. Its compassion touches me deeply. It deserved every Oscar it got.
