Inevitably some flaws

The film is good, but in order to carry forward the main theme, it is inevitable to make some compromises in the plot. The dignified governor of the British Empire in India seems to have the same ability to think about problems as a three-year-old child, without going through the brain. It seems a little clumsy to set off Gandhi in this way. After all, it is a film co-produced by India and the United Kingdom, and Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan, has become the only negative politician in it. Historical movies have always been manipulated by a certain ideology. Because they are too real, they will no longer look good and will not be thought-provoking if the veil of mystery is removed.
At the end of the film, the boat carries Gandhi's ashes and scatters it into the Ganges, with Gandhi's ideal life motto in the background. It sounds like it sounds right, but where the truth and love in human history can be perfunctory, the Indian people now carry the truth and love of Gandhi, but they have almost been forgotten by the world.
When our hearts are empty and helpless, religion will take advantage of the emptiness and transfer your dependence on reality to the so-called God, but we can get rid of the emptiness and helplessness and know the truth and love, and we will have nothing. .

    The British are the main culprit in causing the split between India and Pakistan, and they have the guts to tell the truth. It is admirable that the British are shameless. But the 10,000 people show is very exciting, Zhang Yimou, you are willing to give up.

    The most impressive scene: Gandhi went to see Lord Irwin at the Governor's Palace. First, it was a close-up of him stepping on the steps with one foot, and then the picture rose with the back of the rocker arm, revealing his thin body, which contrasted with the tall Governor's Palace. The struggle of "non-violence and non-cooperation" is also like this. It is a thousand miles long, every step is as small as a thread, but every step is as heavy as a thousand miles.

Gandhi quotes

  • Gandhi: They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me, then they will have my dead body. NOT MY OBEDIENCE!

  • Gandhi: We think it is time that you recognized that you are masters in someone else's home. Despite the best intentions of the best of you, you must, in the nature of things, humiliate us to control us. General Dyer is but an extreme example of the principle... it is time you left.
