As the opening subtitles of the movie say: a person's life cannot be told with a single story, only the essence of which can be faithfully recorded to try to understand a person's spiritual world. And this film does retell Gandhi's life in the shortest possible time. From this point of view, the film was very successful.
From my point of view, this movie is not my type (I like "The Social Network"), but it gives me the shortest amount of time to understand what I should know.
So, even though it's not my genre, I still think it's a great film. It's the same attitude I have with "The King's Speech," and their scene compositions are both great.
PS: This is the second film I've seen with an intermission, the first being Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai".

    He is a god, and uses human flesh to explain what is truth and what is non-violence. The film even gave descriptions of two hunger strikes, 2/14, which is very generous.

    They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me, then they will have my dead body. Not my obedience.

Gandhi quotes

  • Gandhi: The function of a civil resistance is to provoke response and we will continue to provoke until they respond or change the law. They are not in control; we are.

  • Vince Walker: You're an ambitious man, Mr. Gandhi.

    Gandhi: I hope not.
