My Review
My choice is Richard Attenborough's Gandhi, bolstered by a superb performance by Ben Kingsley. It's a history lesson and a lesson in courage as well. Although the movie is over three hours long, I don't think a soul in the theater stirred until the closing credits. The movie was made in 1982 but still has great resonance today, especially the quotation from Gandhi which closes the film: "When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always."
