Oh Yes, This had to be in there.
Ghandi - What a legend.
Most films about historical characters tend to be rubbish are extremely inaccurate, however Ghandi breaks that mold. Ben Kingsley displays a performance that I feel is unrivaled and truly epic, his attention to detail and his representation of Mahatma Ghandi is realistic and touching. I cry every time, and the end funeral procession is just heart wrenching.
The film is long, but Ghandi had such an interesting life and in some ways I feel they could have even extended it further to capture more of his amazing feats. The camera movements are exquisite and the sound balance is great as well. Often every little stone, scrape and bird can be heard - it really takes you to India and lets you experience the revolution that changed the country forever. The script is excellent and engaging.
My Favourite Bit - When Ghandi starts to fast, its harsh and gut-wrenching. It still puts me to the edge of my seat.
