I very, very, seldom recommend a movie with no disclaimers, since I find
fault with even the best movies.

see Gandhi.

yes, it is 3 1/2 hrs long (plus intermission)...but you won't notice it.
Take a friend, because you'll be talking about the movie for a long time
afterwards. I saw this magnificent film at a 70mm, Dolby stereo, theater,
which I'm sure added to my enjoyment because of the SCALE of the scenes,
one of which literally knocked the wind out of me. If you don't know
anything about the Indian sub-continent's history, a quick browse at an
encyclopedia will make the film more satisfying, since then 
you will know who all the main players are (Nehru, Patel, etc.) from the
beginning.

Those interested in the civil rights movement will find even more to
enjoy in this telling of the life of a man prepared to die for his
ideals, but never prepared to kill for them.

hang around for the credits at the end...("boy with goat", "3rd man on
train", etc, etc, etc!!!!)
