      Gandhi: Heroes are always remembered

      After watching this movie, I feel that Gandhi is a very patriotic, but very forbearing person.

      The first is that when he was young in South Africa, the British did not need a pass, only the Indians needed a pass, and they had to carry this certificate at all times so that they could be checked by the British at any time. Gandhi felt that people were not equal to each other. As an Indian, he was greatly insulted. Taking the British pass on the street was too damaging to the image of...

      Notes and Supplementary Excerpts from "Biography of Gandhi"

      He has no property, no official title, no scientific achievements and no artist, so why is he so commemorated? - He is the conscience of man born in 1869 into a Hindu family. At the age of 19, he went to England to study law. In 1893, traveling as a lawyer to South Africa to defend an Indian (licensed in the UK), he was kicked off a train because he was a man of colour and could not sit in first class. The rich Indian said: I am rich, but I am an Indian, so I cannot expect to sit first...

      Nation that was tortured by Buddhism

      [cp] The old movie "Gandhi", the 191-minute boring film is a climax except for the climax of Tu Cun, the others are relatively bland and still look good as a biopic. India, as a nation that has been deeply mutilated by Buddhism, is a kind and cowardly woman, and has a long history with few revolutions. The only independent revolutionary war was won by Gandhi's concept of non-violence and non-cooperation. It is also grateful that their colonizers are noble gentlemen and cultivated British...

      Mahatma's Light

      The starting point of Gandhi's idea of ​​equality is religion: both Hindus and Christians are the people of God. His political ideas were too advanced. He believed that ethnic and religious differences should be abandoned and a unified country should be established. Initially he fought for rights under British law, then he fought for independence for India. His philosophy of non-violence and non-cooperation comes from the New Testament: when the enemy hits you on the right cheek, let him hit...

      Gandhi: Only truth and love can prevail

      "He died as he was alive, a commoner with no wealth, no assets, and no rank. He was neither a military general nor the ruler of a vast land, he had no scientific achievements to boast about, nor was he Famous artists, but people from all over the world, have come together to pay their last respects to this little brown-skinned man in a loincloth." The film begins with an introduction to Gandhi against the backdrop of a grand funeral. Let's talk about it, and then start the narration of...

      Kingsley is messed up. The ascetic revolution of Gandhi, refreshing but also dubious, has a divine quality in it. It wasn't easy for him to do so...

      I watched it when I was in high school. At that time, I heard my father talk about his non-violence and non-cooperation, but when I watched a movie, I was still shocked when I saw him wearing a piece of "poor" and walking with a walking stick for many kilometers to the seaside to make salt....

      A man who nicely combines personal weight loss plans with the rise and fall of nations. You can't watch this film after watching The Big Bang Theory, it's just a group of raj talking~ After the joke is over, I'll say two things: anyone who achieves great things must first be martyrs, so we can't achieve great things. Second, people of a certain country, you will never make trouble, because there is no such person like Gandhi. I felt this way 23 years...
