    Gandhi film review
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2019*

Gandhi provided a refreshing, informative narration of Mohandas Gandhi’s life and accomplishments.  Many of the events and occurrences during the film, as well as Gandhi’s life, I was completely unaware of. The film surprisingly begins with the tragic, inevitable ending to Gandhi’s life, which was his assassination. The audience then begins their journey following Gandhi’s defining movements and successes, as well as his many struggles. Gandhi, as a younger, naïve man, is shown traveling to South Africa on a train, which he is abruptly ejected from solely based upon his ethnicity and for sitting in first-class. Gandhi realized how biased the prejudiced laws towards Indian minorities were and began a campaign towards achieving these basic rights. Gandhi adamantly spoke to his fellow Indians regarding their non-violent stance, even in the face of physical harm. Throughout several demonstrations, Gandhi and many followers, including a large number of Indian miners, were arrested. It was following unflattering global media coverage that Gandhi and the South African Indian population were awarded several equal concessions.After his release from the South African prison camp, following this victory, Gandhi returns to India with warm greeting from the populace. After some persuasion, Gandhi agrees to assist with the fight for independence from British rule in India. Gandhi speaks at several rallies and outlines his goal for non-violent, non-cooperation against the British. There were many marches and demonstrations held by the Indian general public, much to the British’s dismay. Indians were even encouraged to cease their purchase of British-made clothes and burn any existing British clothing they may have. The fight for independence was extremely difficult and faced many challenges, including the murder of innocent men, women and children by the British soldiers during a peaceful demonstration. Gandhi was even imprisoned on several occasions for a range of supposed infractions.  Some of the demonstrators grew wary of the violence and would strike back in kind. In return, Gandhi vowed to fast, even if he died as a result, until the protestor violence had ended, which it did for a time.Gandhi organized a march to the sea to signify Indians’ rights to their own natural salt resources, without British taxation. Many Indians joined Gandhi’s lead by selling and purchasing Indian salt, in lieu of the British options. Gandhi and his wife were yet again imprisoned for their demonstrations and speeches, but unfortunately his wife did not survive the last imprisonment. After successfully gaining the world’s attention, once again, there were discussions to facilitate India’s independence from British rule. Eventually it was decided to split India into two countries, due to Muslim and Hindu violence. Even this decision held its own rebuffs, as fighting erupted between the two groups at the borders. Gandhi vowed to fast until death or until the violence was completely eradicated amongst the groups. Violence did eventually cease and Gandhi began planning a risky visit to Pakistan. Unfortunately, as we know from history and the beginning of the film, Gandhi was assassinated shortly after ending his fast. The assassination was coordinated by those opposed to Gandhi’s multi-faith inclusion and perceived “Muslim tolerance.”According to Invitation to World Religions Gandhi was a Hindu follower yet denounced certain of its beliefs and practices (p. 126). He was firmly opposed to the Hindu caste system and campaigned for the “untouchables” to be referred to as the “Children of God.” Gandhi diligently worked against these caste stereotypes to gain further respect for these individuals. He was also a proponent of women’s rights and their improved status. Gandhi believed in the “universality and truth of all religions and sought throughout his life to reconcile Hinduism and Islam” (Invitation to World Religions, p. 126).  Unfortunately, his executioner was a Hindu nationalist that disagreed with these views.Overall this movie was extremely informative and worth the view. It is astonishing to see one man’s determination, kindness and fortitude change the face of the world for the better.

    "We must be the change we wish to see."
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 7, 2001*

"Gandhi" is a brilliant encapsulation of the life of the man who must be counted among the greatest, most admirable figures in the history of humankind.  Starring Ben Kingsley, Martin Sheen, Candice Bergen, Rohini Hattangady, Roshan Seth, John Gielgud, and Trevor Howard, and directed by Richard Attenborough, this 1982 film is a stunning achievement - without doubt one of the finest biographical epics ever made.  It garnered six Academy Awards, including Best Picture; Best Actor (Kingsley); and Best Director (Attenborough).  This film beautifully fulfills the goals set out in the film's preface: "...to be faithful in spirit to the record and try to find one's way to the heart of the man..."As this film demonstrates, Mohandas K. Gandhi, always faithful to his principles of equality, justice, and peace, uses non-violent civil disobedience as a means to gain equality for his nation's oppressed.  his weapon. He is repeatedly assaulted by police and is imprisoned - usually on trumped up charges - several times because of his political beliefs and activism. Yet this always gentle and humble gentle man never loses sight of his main goal: helping his people achieve political and economic equality.  Although only marginally successful, Gandhi becomes famous throughout the world for his work in South Africa and India.In this masterfully produced, directed, written, and acted film, the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi is painted against the backdrop of some of the most momentous events in twentieth century Indian history.  "Gandhi" shows how the Mahatma (Great Soul) leads a nation of 350 million people to freedom from British colonial rule using non-violent means.We see Gandhi at the outset, making speeches in his low-key style, but even then espousing his clearly defined doctrine of peaceful non-cooperation against a repressive British colonial rule.  Contrary to many public perceptions of the man, this film shows that Gandhi was not just a simple, humble man in a loincloth.  He was a shrewd, pragmatic man who knew the value of good press in the furtherance of his cause.  He knew how to confront his political enemies in ways that got his point across while garnering from his foes a grudging respect.Throughout all these tumultuous events, Gandhi never wavers from his belief in non-violent civil resistance as a means of achieving justice, equality, and freedom for the Indian nation.January 30, 1948: a supreme irony:  Mohandas K. Gandhi - the man of peace who consistently espouses the dignity of all people; the proponent of non-violence, equality, justice, and peace - is violently gunned down by an assassin working for a fanatic Hindu group.There are simply not enough  superlatives to do adequate justice to "Gandhi."  Every aspect of this film is masterfully done!Ben Kingsley's portrayal of Gandhi is one of those singular performances that is so good that it defies description.  His meticulous preparation for this part is readily evident in every scene in which he appears.  His physical resemblance to the real Gandhi,  and the way he mimicked Gandhi's mannerisms, is so realistic as to be positively eerie.  Kingsley's performance is always sensitive, even slightly understated.  Yet there is always present a powerful intensity that conveys the deep spirituality and integrity of the man he so lovingly portrays.Other performances, although nowhere near as wide-ranging, are no less outstanding.  Among them:  John Gielgud as the slighly addled, pompous British viceroy, Lord Irwin; Trevor Howard as the British judge whose respect for defendant Gandhi leads him to rise from his seat in deference to the man he is about to sentence to prison; Roshan Seth as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the staunchly loyal disciple and future Indian Prime Minister; and  Rohini Hattangady as Gandhi's loving wife.A NOTE ABOUT THE DVD:  "Gandhi," a 20-year old film, was only released on DVD for the first time in October 2001.  This a truly magnificent restoration and remastering of this great film! It's the first time that "Gandhi" appears on recorded media in its original 2.35:1 widescreen format.  Video and audio quality are both simply outstanding!  There are plenty of "extras" included on the DVD, including a "Making of Gandhi" photo montage and several newsreel clips showing Gandhi at several important points in his life."Gandhi" is a film that belongs in every movie lover's DVD collection
