Gandhi: Ben Kingsley's Epic

When I was sick I decided to try to watch Gandhi and soak in an apparently incredible movie. In the beginning it simply explains that a movie cannot encompass someone's life, especially one as amazing as Gandhi. You are thrown into Gandhi's experience on a train where he essentially gets Rosa Parks'd, only it's a bit more violent. The movie then about 3 more hours of an amazing journey through all of his trails and tribulations. His original non-violent strike in South Africa to the one in India that he's a little more famous for, to his hunger strike to stop violence in the newly free India that I actually never knew about. The movie is all about Ben Kingsley performance and it's also why he's still a sought after actor. He is incredible. It's over 3 hours, so it's not going to excite you very much, but if you can enjoy greatness in film, it's certainly all over this one. The other actors are very good, especially Martin Sheen in his small role as journalist "Walker". The cinematography and story are both incredible as well, but once again this isn't Transformers. It's an older, story driven epic about the most peaceful man the world may have ever known. Bottom Line: 8.9 out of 10. I really enjoyed a great deal of this movie. I fell asleep during a portion, on account that I was pretty sick, but everything else was pretty top notch.
