What a GREAT man he was! I watched this epic movie (which is by the way as old as I am) last night... and it got me thinking. Isn't it incredible what ONE man can do!? This little guy, this one man - really made a difference. Not only for his nation, but for generations to come. If the world recognizes you & what you stood for just by you last name, then you did everything right (or everything wrong - like the guy from "Downfall"). Lincoln, Einstein, Jobs, Schwarzenegger, ... and of course Gandhi is one of the many. This movie does not only serve as 3 hours of entertainment or as a history lessons, but also as true inspiration. A reminder to what Ralph Waldo Emerson said: What lies behind us and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

Ben Kingsley is outstanding. The production values on this grand biopic are very high. It's very long but paced well.

Amazing acting by Ben Kingsley! Hats off!

"Gandhi"- what an experience watching the biography of the Mahatma of Subcontinent. Ben Kingsley who acted as Gandhi here, he sort of lives him. The posture, the half smile, the sharp, focused eyes behind the glasses every thing was perfect. Moinur pranta sir once said to me, the person who really knows the rules is the one who ends up leading. This movie makes that line feel very true. Gandhi was a lawyer, just like leaders such as Fazlul Haque or Jinnah. It's not a coincidence. They knew the law, knew the loopholes, knew exactly how far they could push the administration while still “inside” the rules. From the very first train car scene, one thing about Gandhi’s personality comes through very sharp, he is adamant. Once he decides something is unjust, he doesn’t shout, he doesn’t panic, he just refuses to move, mentally. And the British Raj bends to his will. That was fascinating to watch. The cinematography of the movie is another plus here. Shots of countryside, busy streets of Calcutta, massive gatherings of people, it’s all captured with this wide, open look that makes feel nostalgia even if you weren’t there. Watching it, I honestly felt like doing time travel. Is the film perfect? No, sometimes it leans too much into idol worship making him kinda saint. Nevertheless it's a timeless classic you never wanto miss.
