Gandhi is a person who has won the hearts of people with his life vision and philosophy. There's so much to say about her. I think it's a great pioneering biography. The film has the most crowded scene of cinema history. I want to congratulate the movie actors and especially Ben Kingsley. He gave more than the role he played. I want to finish with Gandhi's terrific promise. "Yes I am, I am also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew."

Gandhi. Was he really responsible for India's early independence or was he just a men like everyone else? Watching the movie "Gandhi", which was written by John Briley and produced and directed by Richard Attenborough in 1982, you will get a clear answer to this question. You will also get an inside view of Gandhi's whole life. His successes and his failures. You will see how he changed because of everything that happened to him, as well as India's and the world's reaction to him. This biographical drama won eight Academy Awards and was the most successful film in 1982, which was a big surprise as the film almost never got made. Attenborough tells Gandhi's story: The story of an Indian lawyer, who returned from South Africa to help his country gain its independence through successive acts of non-violent protest. This three-hour film probably tells one of the 20th century's most remarkable stories as Mahatma Gandhi created a new form of peaceful protests in India, which have been affecting history. The movie starts with Gandhi's assassination and then goes 30 years back in time to show his key moments in his struggle of creating a peaceful India. Gandhi, however, is the kind of man, who would do anything to achieve his goal, even if this means to go to prison a couple times or nearly starving to death. It took him 30 years to accomplish what he wanted and I think this shows that everyone is able to achieve his goal with a little patience even if it seems impossible. Even though the actor Ben Kingsley won the Academy Award of Best Actor for his stunning role, one of the eight Academy Awards this film won, there are really good performances from other actors as well like Candice Bergen, John Gielgud, Edward Fox and many more. Even if the film did not win the Academy Award for best original music score, for which this film was nominated, the music is still stunning and creates a different feeling for every situation. Attenborough, who really wanted to create this movie, created an awesome drama, which helps to understand Gandhi's point of view, even if it does not have a happy ending.

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".
