A PRETTY GREAT MOVIE? What's odd about Reihan Salam's review of the Gandhi DVD is that he doesn't conclude that it's a pretty great movie; he says that the first 45 minutes are very good, that the rest isn't very good, and then tries to explain why 2/3rds of the movie is unwatchable. It's a pretty interesting article, but he never supports the assertion that Sam quotes. As an aside, the film glides over a lot of the violence associated with India's participation in World War II, including most notably the development of the Japanese-supported Indian National Army. Myself, I prefer Michael Collins, which is pretty much just Gandhi without the pesky non-violence.
