ガンジー

今回の映画はオリバー・ツイストOliver Twistであのフェイギンを怪演した ベン・キングズレー主演のガンジー。 20世紀初頭のインドの政治家・思想家であり、非暴力抵抗や民族主義の運動の指導者であるガンジーなので、聖人のようなひとですが、本作で描かれているガンジーも聖人のように描かれています。エンタメ的な側面は皆無です。実はガンジーは変態だったとかそういうのを期待していていたが。時間も3時間越え。途中1時間30分ぐらいのところでなんと人生初の画面上のintermission(休憩)に遭遇。映画2本見た気分です。

英語においてはガンジーのようなバイリンガルの人にありがちな聞き取りやすい英語で聞きやすい部類に入ると思います。
