A film I like best

I'm not, like many, a regular film-goer. I go to see one if and when a good film is shown in our town. By a good film,I mean one that is really educative rewarding. Hence, the number of films that I have seen could be counted on one's fingers. One such film I saw recently was the one on "The Life of Mahatma Gandhi" a man of the twentieth century, an incarnation by any standard and a God-man who loved all and hated none.

As one who was born after the death of Gandhi, I am not a contemporary of his. Hence his life and times are as stranger to me as to those who had lived before him. All that I had known of Gandhi before I saw the film on his life was the little I had read and heard of his life and work from books and from elders and betters. Therefore, those like me are grateful to that wonderful English man, Lord Attenborough, for his years of toil and expenses incurred in making the film on the life of Gandhi, who was almost a saint and a superman; a messiah of the twentieth century.

This film is thrilling from start to finish. It depicts beautifully on the silver screen the many episodes in the life of Gandhi. It is true to what we have read of Gandhi and his missions. Ben Kingsley, who has the features of Gandhi has played the role of Gandhi ably. His subdued acting like that of a man of peace, was classic. The varous scenes presented in the film look real, life-like and gave us the satisfaction that we are face with Gadndhi and his times. In short, it is faithful record of Gandhi and his mission. It is no wonder that this film was an award winner and was acclaimed in many countries. This is a picture that no one should miss. Lord Attenborough deserves the gratitude  of all those who love Gandhi who were not fortunate enough to have lived during his time or to have seen him in flesh and blood.

"The life of Gandhi" is a historical and biographical film that depicts and important era of a century on celluloid. Indeed, it is one of the best pictures that I have seen and I would like to see it again and again!!
