At the beginning of the movie, Gandhi was shot and killed by someone pretending to be a salute when he met and prayed with everyone. Then he was a lawyer in South Africa in his early years. Because he took the first class train on the train, it violated the local rules that people of color cannot be first class. After refusing to move his seat Being thrown out of the car, because of his own experience and his faithful belief in God, he began to slowly pursue the path of no return for freedom and equality. In South Africa, in order to fight for the equal status of people of color, he began to promote the non-violent non-cooperation movement, which gradually gained influence and support. After returning to China, he received heroic following and love from the Chinese people, and continued to insist on non-violence and non-cooperation, resist British rule, and strive for Indian independence. In the face of domestic religious vendettas, he repeatedly went on hunger strike to carry out non-violence and non-cooperation to the end, and finally paid the price of his life for his great faith and cause.

Minimalist life, vegetarian food, abstinence, advocating handicraft workshops, half-naked and thin ascetic monks, hunger strikes to the brink of death again and again, in order to save the people who have been dazzled by violence, physically act for the peace and unity of the country, and devote all their energy and life.
It can also be said that Gandhi was an ingenious arrangement of God, living in India under the British rule that abides by the basic rules of civilization, coupled with the strong religious beliefs of the whole country, so that his ideas can be carried forward. It is impossible to imagine that if Gandhi's opponents were the inhumane Nazis, the Japanese invaders, or some dictatorial organizations that were sovereign, they might not have a place to stand in the first place.

Gandhi repeatedly declared, "There are many tyrants and murderers in history. They seemed invincible for a period of time, but in the end they could not escape failure. If you think about it, it will always be like this." This is consistent with the karma preached by Buddhism. And fit. Gandhi changed the destiny of the country with his sincere and selfless faith, and spiritually enlightened people on a global scale. The history is thousands of years, and until today, there are still many violent incidents such as wars and terrorist attacks. After Gandhi, the violent incidents in India have not really stopped completely, but his spirit is worthy of admiration and admiration for all. Perhaps if a person's faith and devotion are brought to the extreme, God will really lend a helping hand to make the impossible possible, thus creating miracles.

    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.
