Biography of Mahatma Gandhi, the lawyer who became the famed leader of the Indian revolts against the British through his philosophy of non-violent protest.

8 Oscars. En stor film (over 3 timer lang) om et stort menneske. Men så vidt som filmen vil favne, makter den ikke å gå dypt nok. Kanskje ville den gjort seg bedre som 8-10 timeslange episoder i en TV-serie enn som en film. Naturligvis et imponerende stort arbeid, men altså uten å være genial.

Noe for lang film, men forøvrig helt grei. Gandhi var jo et bemerkelsesverdig menneske, men jeg antar at han hadde en litt dypere filosofi enn det som kom fram i denne filmen. Dessuten blir nok Jinnah fremstilt noe dårlig; jeg har inntrykk at Attenborough nærmest mener at Jinnah var ond - jeg tror heller at han faktisk var genuint redd.
