Can you believe that even though I'ma big BK fan, this was one of his main films that I had never seen until recently? To add to it, I had to watch it in French. No problem really, because i'm fluent in the language, but t's always best to watch it in it's original format! Anyway, I thought it was very well acted. Very true to life. An Oscar winner, so to speak.

This re-release of the famous biopic is being highly supported by Sir Ben. The film will be presented in full HD 1080p quality, with the original 2:35 screen ratio and Dolby Digital 5.1 Sound. There will also be an interactive bonus part to the disc, including an interview with Sir Richard Attenborough, a director's commentary, and a story called "Picture in Graphics", detailing the life and legacy of Mhatma Gandhi.

You've got to have some talent to successfully portray someone so well. It's a good film. A masterpiece even.
