The film chronicles the life of an Indian lawyer turned activist. Starring Ben Kingsley, Rohini Hattangadi, and Roshan Seth.
The performance of Kingsley as Gandhi is excellent. There are a number of things I dislike about the film that aren’t film related. One, the film makes Gandhi out to be someone trying to become a famous public figure. Granted, he wanted to make a point, but I feel he was doing it more for the notoriety and was insincere. Everything he did was making a point. All throughout the film we have Ghandi quoting the Bible, though he never accepts the gift God gave. At the end of the film, it’s sad that he believes only God can make the decision to send someone to Hell, yet he doesn’t accept Christ as the Messiah. At least, we don’t know if he did or not, but it’s sad to think that he believes in works, not faith. It’s even sadder to think he could be in Hell for all that he did. 🙁 It’s a good film documenting a life that was interesting, making the movie worth a watch.
