adonis98-743-186503 Gandhi's character is fully explained as a man of nonviolence. Through his patience, he is able to drive the British out of the subcontinent. And the stubborn nature of Jinnah and his commitment towards Pakistan is portrayed. Despite a terrific perfomance from Ben Kingsley as the title character, there's nothing more to 'Gandhi' that could eventually describe it as a triumph or as a masterpiece in general since it's 3hrs long of probably nothing except a great perfomance from it's star and nothing much more to it than that i'm terribly afraid. (5.0/10)

Matt Greene I can imagine recommending this movie to someone taking or teaching a class on civil disobedience or Indian history. It's not without its emotionally harrowing moments and inspirational wisdom, but the movie itself just isn't nearly as interesting or as revolutionary as its subject. SIDE NOTE: what an odd period in cinema, when black-face was allowed as long as it was "respectful"....Kingsley is great, but still...

ayhansalamci Gandhi is a person who has won the hearts of people with his life vision and philosophy. There's so much to say about her. I think it's a great pioneering biography. The film has the most crowded scene of cinema history. I want to congratulate the movie actors and especially Ben Kingsley. He gave more than the role he played. I want to finish with Gandhi's terrific promise. "Yes I am, I am also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew."

lulu-65211 The 1982 movie "Gandhi" written by John Briley and produced and directed by Richard Attenborough, tells the story of Gandhi's life and shows the viewer his opinion on the Indian society. It is not possible to summarize the life of a so important man like Gandhi in just one three-hour movie but the producers did a good job. The movie begins with Gandhi's assassination and I really like this idea because you first get interested in how it came to this and you witness the assassination from the perspective of the murderer. Another very powerful scene is when Gandhi burns passes, what is against the law. He gets beaten over and over again, but he still continues. This action shows a very important character trait of Gandhi. He does not fight against the police, which describes Gandhi's way of protest very well. In addition to that the scene where Gandhis followers get beaten by the soldiers is very impressive because they accepted the beating and still stood to Gandhi and his morals. Gandhi had very close relation to his family, which is impressively shown when his wife died. I like it that Gandhi also is emotional and not arrogant. The most important facts about Gandhis life are well-performed but of course some things are made very simplistic because Gandhis life was full of important events. All in all I would say that the authors did a good job because it is very difficult to produce a such an authentic and impressive biography.
