Review – Gandhi

I can’t watch this movie without thinking about Eddie Izzard’s “You can’t claim us, we live here” line. Seriously, though, this is an epic biography of the title character. Ben Kingsley does a great job playing Gandhi from his early experiences in South Africa through his history-making work in India on to his death at the hands of an assassin. Though three hours worth of a guy insisting on nonviolence gets a bit repetitive after awhile, the story needs to show the full range of social problems Gandhi confronted and overcame. Worth seeing
