Running Time: 5,256,000 Minutes


Legend has it that Richard Attenborough's brilliant movie Gandhi took over ten years to make.

Due to children and other daily responsibilities, I would not be surprised if Heather and I take longer than that to finish watching it. It's become a running joke with us: "If we ever get enough time, let's watch Gandhi".

We've seen it before, of course, but never looking and sounding as good as it does on Blu Ray. So far we're up to the part about the old villager telling his sob story about growing Indigo for The Man. We get to watch about ten minutes at a time, which really interrupts the flow of the piece.

At this rate maybe the kids will be old enough to watch the ending with us in another nine years or so.
