Gandhi is an historic film. It's certainly a good movie, and beautiful. Ben Kingsley was brilliant. The film moves surprisingly fast for over 3 hours. All of this is known.
However, as an organizer I was disappointed that they didn't delve into his motivation, challenges, and growth. One day he was a rich lawyer who suffers a minor humiliation. The next day is he leading the revolt against British occupation of India. I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea. You don't know what really made him from a man into "Gandhi."
