The movie shows the nationalism in such a direct and peaceful way. It also offers us a clear picture of the REAL India. Through vivid chaos and panics, cruelty and corruption, we can definitely appreciate his fearlessness and forgiveness. Well, I am so amazed that “nonviolence and disobedience” really works. As for the movie itself, it avoids shooting some crazy actions by letting them presented in other people's conversations afterwards. Moreover, the subtle details, the expressions in their eyes, the smiles, the postures, the steady steps, the sights of his back… they all touched me deeply. In a nutshell, salute to the great man, salute to his contributions in leading India to independence and inspiring movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

BTW, I must have fallen in love with Kingsley. I wish I would not miss any of his works.

    After waiting for "Aung San Suu Kyi" and so on, I watched Gandhi first. This film is more than 3 hours, trying to analyze the whole of Gandhi's "non-violent non-cooperation" thought, but it is difficult to escape Gandhi's spiritual admiration. The objectiveness of the narrative structure makes the whole film more rational. At the beginning of the film, Gandhi was assassinated, the flashback began, and Gandhi was assassinated at the end.

    Albert Einstein added: "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."

Gandhi quotes

  • Gandhi: I want to welcome you all. Every one of you. We have no secrets. Let us begin by being clear... about General Smuts' new law. All Indians must now be fingerprinted... like criminals. Men and women. No marriage other than a Christian marriage is considered valid. Under this act our wives and mothers are whores. And every man here is a bastard.

    Kahn: He has become quite good at this.

    Gandhi: And a policeman passing an Indian dwelling, I will not call them homes, may enter and demand the card of any Indian woman whose dwelling it is.

  • Nehru: Think of what you can do by living, that you cannot do by dying... What do you want?

    Gandhi: That the fighting will stop. That you make me believe it will never start again.
