Review of Gandhi (1982) by Yin M — 15 Dec 2009
After seeing Gandhi, the opening phrase that the film shows is strengthened: there is no filmic adaptation that can truly capture every action, every moment, every key event in the life of a hero. Following this unnecessary portrayal of modesty, Attenborough initiates a moving journey of peaceful revolution with a distracting spoken language and Hollywood elements disguised with a wanna-be David Lean style. Not as epic and glorious as audiences suggest, but it is a ride worth of its own.
85/100.
