Plot Summary:
|
Gandhi is a great national, but is Gandhi a great blur? Undoubtedly it is, not least because it is an individual of the pattern old-school epics constantly made, a glorious visual treat featuring tens of thousands of extras (true people, not digital effects) and sumptuous Panavision cinematography. But a constant epic is about more than just widescreen photography, it concerns itself with renowned subjects too, and the memoirs story of Mahatma Gandhi is story of the noblest of all. Both the valet and the glaze must profound things to bring to light more the meaning of spare time and genetic ha... rmony, as well as how to achieve them. Ben Kingsley, in his first major screen role, bears the heavy responsibility of the central performance and carries it nutty magnificently; without his alluring and utterly convincing portrayal the film would fall in the danged principal vista. Sir Richard Attenborough surrounds his main unexpected with a cast of distinguished thespians (Trevor Howard, John Mills, John Gielgud and Martin Sheen, to name but four), not anyone of whom do anything but provide the most sympathetic support. John Briley's literate screenplay achieves the bordering on hopeless task of distilling the bewildering complexities of Anglo-Indian civics. Attenborough's treatment is freely reverential, but, noted the saint- cove of his subject, it's hard to see how it could beget been anything else. He doesn't shrink from from the association that the Mahatma was na?ve to expect a unified India, criterion, but instead lets Gandhi's actions speak for themselves. The outstanding achievement of this labour of man is that it tells the plot of an avowed pacifist who on no occasion raised a share in anger, of a gentleman's gentleman who never held squeaky company, of a cover shackles who shied away from publicity, and turns it into three hours of utterly mesmerising cinema.Read more Less

A Beautiful film
A real must see film for anyone . I found it warm ,moving ,beautifully acted and filmed, educational (don't let that put you off!) a real epic,It was really thought provoking and inspirational and am now reading a biography of Ghandi as a direct response to wanting to know more after watching this wonderful film.
An Amazing man
We all seem to become immune to the world and all its razz ma tazz and special effects and comforts but when you watch this movie you will be touched by a frail humble, non violent man who made a difference. With every great film comes a great story and it’s hard to believe this is based on fact.
Gandhi is a moving film that touches even the most hardened hearts and makes you feel that in all the worlds hopelessness and material possessions, there is hope and one man can stand up for his beliefs and make an impact. Enjoy this movie as I did. This film made me feel human again.
