A good movie

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this  flick and I should probably re-watch it at some point. Eventually, even though I did like this movie, somehow, it didn’t completely win me over. I mean, it has nothing to do with Gandhi, the guy was just amazing and one of the most aspiring human beings that ever lived and Ben Kingsley was just really impressive in the best performance of his career and yet the whole thing was still missing something in my opinion. I don’t know, maybe I was too young when I first saw it but, at the end of the day, even though it was really respectful, which was fine, it was also too straightforward, at least, that’s my opinion. I guess it goes with the territory though. Indeed, with such a beloved man, there is not much actual space to be really creative. In this genre, another example of this was with the recent ‘American Sniper’ which was, in my opinion, rather underwhelming even if it was a huge box-office when it was released. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, to conclude, even though it didn’t completely blow me away, it is still a decent biopic about a fascinating historical figure and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
