	Gandhi (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gandhi (1982) is an Anglo-Indian film, directed by Richard Attenborough, about the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (also known as Mahatma Gandhi, Great Soul), leader of the nonviolent resistance movement against British colonial rule in India during the first half of the 20th century.
		The film begins with his assassination and funeral on January 30, 1948 after a morning prayer an elder Gandhi is helped out for his morning walk to meet greeters and admirers all over the world.
		Gandhi attempts to head off the new violence by using the only weapon he is ever willing to use, his body, in the form of a hunger strike, until all the violence in India stops.

	Film/Classic: Gandhi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Gandhi's great achievement was that he successfully implemented his theories on a grand scale making him not a small-, but a very large-scale hero.
		The film opens with beautiful scenes of the Indian countryside and the funeral scene of Gandhi is shown with hundreds of thousands Indians, estimated in one report at 300,000, and was shot on an anniversary of his assassination by a Hindu who felt Gandhi was giving away too much to the Muslims.
		The legacy of Gandhi, on the other hand, remains one of the most powerful forces for peace in the world, and this film is a superb tribute to it.

	Mahatma Gandhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gandhi's first major achievements came in 1918 with the Champaran agitation and Kheda Satyagraha, although in the latter he was involved at par with Sardar Vallabhai Patel, who acted as his right-hand and leader of the rebels.
		Gandhi maintained this was because of the sin committed by upper caste Hindus by not letting untouchables in their temples (Gandhi was committed to the cause of improving the fate of untouchables, referring to them as Harijans, people of Krishna).
		Gandhi is referred to in an episode of the sitcom Seinfeld, "The Old Man", as having an affair with one of the minor characters.

		Mahatma Gandhi was not the commander of armies, nor the ruler of vast lands.
		This quote is from the funeral scene in the 1982 film "Gandhi".
		This film was made before CGI (computer generated images), so the funeral scene is probably the last live action crowd of that magnitude that will ever be filmed.

	Mahatma Gandhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gandhi's closest colleagues had accepted partition as the best way out, and Sardar Patel endeavoured to convince Gandhi that it was the only way to avoid civil war.
		Gandhi has come under fire in particular for statements to the effect that the Jews would win God's love if they willingly went to their deaths as martyrs.
		Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace Prize, though he was nominated for it five times between 1937 and 1948.

	Gandhi (1982)
		The obvious scenes of Gandhi's funeral and the Amritsar massacre are, of course, covered but it is the moments elsewhere that remain in the memory.
		Uncinematic asides such as Gandhi's notorious fasts or his first brush with injustice are where Gandhi excels; these are the incidents which make the man. As it happens it is in the first half of the film that the character building occurs, with Gandhi discovering that he cannot stand idly by while others suffer.
		Gandhi demands to be shown upon the big screen, yet even this feels too restricted to contain the film's scope.

	DVD REVIEW GHANDI GANDHI (R1 vs LD Laserdisc Pioneer Special Edition PSE) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A non-fictional issue at the center, the subject of the extraordinary leader of the non-violent cause of fighting for India's independence was bound to raise not only feelings of admiration and it was clear that some in goverment positions would not rush to aid the team in their attempt to portray the legends life.
		The film Gandhi (no, it's not spelled Ghandi) is in its unpretentious way of portraying the man and the leader "Mahatma" Gandhi not merely a good piece of motion picture.
		Gandhi was before this DVD issue released on Laserdisc in Widescreen by Pioneer.

	98.03.05: Mohandas Gandhi: The Art of Nonviolence
		Gandhi’s inclusion of India’s lowest caste into his community caused Gandhi criticism throughout his life, but he was committed on principle to their full acceptance and he ultimately named them Harijans (Children of God).
		Gandhi believed that all people were brothers and sisters, and that his nonviolent means of resistance to the British would eventually persuade the oppressors to see for themselves the dishonesty and injustice of the colonial system.
		Gandhi believed to the extent that the spinner was able to turn away from self-centered thoughts and became more others-centered he or she would reach a higher sense of purpose and become more aware of God and His purposes.

		The film itself is brilliantly shot and technically flawless, even where the minor creative hand of the director is obvious (the judge Trevor Howard standing in deference to the prisoner, for instance).
		Gandhi was the original politician - complete with a set of unquestionable ideals in truth, violence, women's rights and secularism, a superb delivery, a populist touch and a deep understanding of (and to a large extent, as seen in his many fasts-unto-death, exploitation of) his emotional power over the hoi polloi.
		Mohandas Gandhi, Esq., recently arrived in South Africa, and unaware that as an Indian, he was required to travel third class and not entitled to such a ticket.

		Seeing Gandhi immersed in the incredible multidimensional diversities that were (and are) India helps the viewer as we begin to understand just how incredible his efforts were to unite the country with his strange yet irresistible moral authority, an authority that all of the various factions recognized and respected as the authentic thing.
		Gandhi's approach to using reason and morality to approach issues and perspectives, and these methods become the real star of the film as it builds slowly over the scope of this very literate and intelligent script.
		Gandhi chose to be a better man than he was and through his will power, guided but not blinded by his convictions, he embarked on a life that led him to challenge accepted notions on many aspects of our lives.

	Gandhi Film Review - Time Out Film
		By virtue of its subject matter, and of the prodigious effort that has gone into its production, Gandhi has to be considered one of the major British films of the year.
		Its subject is an Indian spiritual leader almost unknown to today's Western youth, who not only preached a more sophisticated and forceful version of the pacifist ethic than ever flowered in the '60s, but succeeded in using it to help liberate his country and change its political history.
		Of course the film raises more questions than it comes near to answering, but its faults rather pale beside the epic nature of its theme, and Kingsley's performance in the central role is outstanding.
