Honour #3


Gandhi, man/film.

I’m looking for a film to honour from this year and I can’t find one. Iron Man? It was good but it didn’t make me think. Dark Knight? I love Batman, and Ledger is great, but is it worth an end of year honour on my blog? Napes.

I wish I had a great Indie film to recommend, but I don’t. I didn’t see very many new movies this year.

But I did see a great old movie. And by great, I mean marvelous. And by marvelous, I mean “this movie will change your life.”

Gandhi. It’s 3 hours, it’s sprawling, and it is fantastic.

Why do we wear t-shirts with Che on them? Why don’t we wear Gandhi t-shirts? He was operating on a level that few humans in the history of humans have operated on.

Gandhi dat di jai! Gandhi dat di jai!
