Historically perfect. Ben Kingsly does an excelent way of protraying the man who freed a country without violence. This is an educational film, not a film of action. This is up there on the list of movies you have to see before you die, along with All Quiet on the Western Front, and Godfather. Some people may say this is a boring historic film, but the life of Gandhi was not nail biting exciting. If everyone in the world could be more like Gandhi, we could have world peace. In short: Watch this film.
