Gandhi is the best movie I have ever seen
Quote by Gandhi: I know a way out of hell....
Epic & inspiring.
This movie has inspired me and changed my life in so many ways. I became vegetarian. I felt I too should contribute and make a positive difference to the world. I became a therapist. I realized life was about striving to become a better human being. The music of this movie was my first exposure to Indian music. The raw emotions in the music ripped me apart. No sugar coating, this is real.
I hope every man, woman and child gets to see this movie in their life, for Gandhi can move us towards becoming better human beings. I should be part of school curriculum, just like Shakespeare and the Pythagorean theorem.
The movie connects us to very tangible themes in our life - inequality, oppression, racism, and authority and lawfulness not being morally right.
Gandhi = Non-Violence, and standing up for those treated unfairly. My God, Gandhi has caused India to become free from the British without a violent uprising. Our world, so full of power hungry leaders who promise us - we will bomb you into democracy - could use more of this attitude of respect and non-violence. How very relevant.
Boring or riveting - Expectations.
This movie was made in 1982, before impossible CGI. The crowds are real. Today we are more into fast paced and gripping action movies. If you dare to slow down to the movie, and let it touch you, it has many messages about our life. This is no Matrix (and yet it is). If your want to be entertained with another empty flick, this movie is not for you. This movie is about real life struggles, this is about life and striving to become a better human being. This movie has depth, and shoves a mirror in our faces.
Why was this movie so good?
Ben Kingsley was Gandhi. He did not play Gandhi, he became Gandhi. Such humility, so human in his struggle to do the right things. The dialogue is amazing. Very inspiring. The scale of the movie is mind boggling, the size of the crowds. The themes... our politicians should take notes. Gandhi lived so shortly ago, we can almost touch him. Through this movie, he touches us, and shows us it is possible to make a difference.
What is Gandhi - Storyline.
A biopic about Mohandas K Gandhi. The story of all major events from 1893 South Africa, racism, to India in 1948, his unfortunate death. The movie illustrates his character and the world changing effect he had. Ben Kingsley. Attenborough.
