Well I must stop reading user reviews because everytime I get angry. Like many biopics, Gandhi opens with the death its subject. The story retells by episodic scenes the major events of the life of Gandhi . The directing like the film itself is very sober and simple, this fit well with the description of the life of Gandhi : he was a simple man.
