Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Sir Richard Attenborough's 1982 multiple-Oscar winner (including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Ben Kingsley) is an engrossing, reverential look at the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi, who introduced the doctrine of nonviolent resistance to the colonized people of India and who ultimately gained the nation its independence. Kingsley is magnificent as Gandhi as he changes over the course of the three-hour film from an insignificant lawyer to an international leader and symbol. Strong on history (the historic division between India and Pakistan, still a huge problem today, can be seen in its formative stages here) as well as character and ideas, this is a fine film. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gandhi
It must have been a very daunting task to create a biopic about Gandhi. He is still a sacrosanct figure through much of the world, an incredible amount of history happened throughout his lifetime, but also because, as a protagonist, Gandhi went from a regular lawyer to a major figurehead of peace and Indian independence- quite an arc to effectively show to an audience. However, this film does an incredible job in humanizing the man, and distilling his accomplishments to a three-hour cinematic experience.

What I appreciate about the film is how well it shows Gandhi's maturation to the figure he became, while backing up his growth with the major political events that he is most associated with (the Amristar Massacre, the Salt March, the India/Pakistan riots, etc.). Throughout the film are well-done, nuanced scenes with Gandhi, reporters, and his counsellors that help to flesh him out and explain the peaceful ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One Of The Greates Films Ever Made
Gandhi is an excellent film that any person will enjoy. I could write about it for pages, but for convenience, I shall keep this review short. This film will really make you think about life and war. You will not ever regret purchasing this great film. Very powerful, moving, and inspirational to any person with a soul. I highly recommend this wonderful film to everybody.

Peace.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Acting
Gandhi was lots of fun..I love the parts where there is beatings and he
just turns the other cheek...I wish there could have been more car chases
but I think it may have taken away from the story...Gandhi was a cool dude
he was smarter than most the people he hung out with...What makes him better than Batman and other superheroes is that he was a real dude not just a guy from a cartoon story...I never figured out who his girlfriend was....maybe I missed that part...Gandhi was old school but he could have been big today..yes it was a good movie for those of us who can really understand what Gandhi had up his sleeve...he was like James Bond without the babes and cars.....Gandhi was the Man in his day...


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Monumental Film Making Worthy of It's Subject
Watching Richard Attenborough's masterpiece bio-epic is both an uplifting and draining experience. The performance of Ben Kingsley as Gandhi is one of those rare moments in film history where an actor seems to inhabit the character so completely allowing the viewer to get a deeper personal experience of an historical character.
Perfectly blending the political history with the personal story , this movie at 3 hours is an investment of time that pays dividends rarely found on a screen. I recently watched this again after several years and was just as moved by it as when it was first released.
Many filmmakers would go for the sentimental approach and try to create myths around their subject. In Gandhi there is a an element of that but the film will stand up to time because the portrayal is historically accurate and the subject at the heart of the film is a mythical character beyond the need of a boost from the ...
