CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

michaelscheer-66014 Do you believe in heroes? Heroes to look up to? Because I recently watched a movie which is about a real life hero. The movie is called ''Gandhi''. It was released in 1982 by Richard Attenborough. The movie is about the life of the famous Indian independence fighter Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or as you may know him ''Mahatma Gandhi''. The movie got nominated for 11 Academy Awards in 1983 and won 8 of them. One of them was won in the category of ''Best Movie''. The movie is a historical drama. The movie starts with the assassination of Gandhi in 1948. It then flashbacks onto his life and the effects he achieved. Gandhi is one of India's most famous persons ever to be alive. He fought, in a peaceful way, for India's Independence. Gandhi's way of living and dealing with problems was unique. He left his mark on people like Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela. Although the movie is about three hours long, it is full of scenes which catch the viewers' emotions by surprise. Overall this is a great movie because it describes the life of Gandhi pretty well for three hours. The movie keeps the viewers' attention at all times. I would give it a rating of 10/10.

bosiclidija GANDHI REVIEWThe movie is a very important part of India's development which shows a realistic hero. Gandhi is a 1982 British-Indian epic biographical drama. It was produced and directed by Richard Attenborough and written by John Briley and it is about one of the biggest personalities of the 20th century. He is called Mohandas Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi), the leader of India's non- violent, non-cooperative independence movement against the United Kingdom's rule of the country during this century.Richard Samuel Attenborough was an English actor entrepreneur and politician. He attended the British Academy of Dramatic Art and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. As a film director and producer Attenborough won two Academy Awards for Gandhi in 1983. In this case Gandhi is the eighth-highest Oscar winning film of all time claiming eight awards from 11 nominations, including best film. The late director Richard Attenborough took 20 years to collect all the money for the movie. He was convinced that the movie would be telling one of the 20th- century's most remarkable stories that of the Indian lawyer who returned from racially segregated South Africa to drive the British out of his home country through successive acts of non-violent protests.Ben Kingsley played Gandhi and is therefore the main character in the movie. He was the perfect option because he was a young man who portrayed Gandhi very well. Gandhi was a friendly person who helped everyone and fought for justice. The movie was filmed in Delhi, India and England, UK. The shooting began on 26th November, 1980 in India and lasted up until 10th May, 1981. It cost estimated 22.000.000 Dollars. For the scene where Gandhi died roughly 300.000 people were obliged, just 200.00 of it volunteers. The rest, about 94,600 people, received a small fee. Eleven camera teams were necessary to turn the admissions to this one scene. Summarized I can say that Gandhi is a didactic movie which shows Gandhi's point of view and that everyone can fight with non-violence for their rights and can reach something in their lives.

classicsoncall I was born a couple of years after Mahatma Gandhi's death, and my only impression of the man up till now had been of a small, frail, cloth wrapped Indian who preached non-violence and made it his life's mission. Though I'm certain, as with most movie takes on historical subjects, there are inaccuracies in the telling of his story here, but I was grateful to get a good, general overview of what Gandhi experienced and had to endure as a dedicated and pious servant of India's people. The film is rather epic in scope, with stunning photography and costuming, and the choice of Ben Kingsley to portray Mohandas K. Gandhi was an inspired one. The way he carried the story arc of Gandhi's career from young lawyer to pacifist leader was a genuinely moving characterization. Interestingly, the only time it seems that Gandhi showed any true emotion was the scene where he wept for his dying wife. Otherwise his stoicism in the face of imprisonment and punishment creates a long lasting impression for the viewer, and personally, I can't imagine how he was able to maintain such enduring self control. Not only that, but his tactics during the early part of the Twentieth Century proved to be unparalleled in achieving his political goals for India. It proved undeniably true for the citizens of that vast sub-continent when Gandhi uttered the words - "I know a way out of hell".

benmeijereft Gandhi is the best movie I have ever seenQuote 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.
