Exactly! People forget Gandhi's deep moral and political convictions. He wasn't just about Indian Home Rule. He was about justice in the deepest sense of the word.
"All through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall, Always " - M.K Gandhi
this is one of the best movies i ever saw and Gandhi was a symbol for all the world and still one today, he will never be forgotten. Ο μεγαλιτερος ανθρωπος που εχει ζη στην γη.
Im Christian and find not the smallest doubt that Gandhi was a Messiah full of the spirit and love of God. The fact that Gandhi was the son of a Jainist mother, the most ancient religion, the religion of the paradise, the religion of the absolute love and universal peace just seals the fact.
I personally view him as a great man. Think what you will, but he was great and honorable. This movie reflects that. It shows his life the way we know it did. Nobody needs to get worked up over the fact that he is. If you watch the movie, read any of his autobiographies or his novels, there is not a single thing that's bad. Besides, he died a long time ago. He lived, he inspired, he freed his fellow men. Deal with it. Doesn't change history.
Makes sense. Martin Luther King heard him and it was used, to a degree, by the blacks in the 1960's American South. Great TV. That caught Kennedy's attention. Ghandi's resistance through active, provocative non-violence wouldn't work everywhere. Hitler would have laughed at him as he squashed him underfoot with the hobnailed boots of his SS. But it was perfect for dealing with Britain. I think his message remains alive and may still be quietly sowing its seeds here and there. I like to think so.
This is one of the best trailers that I have ever seen and I've seen a lot. I'm very impressed. It doesn't sell short or overshoot the film (haha. how is this even possible?) An overwhelming film. I urge everyone to see it.
Without complete knowledge one must not criticize greatest leader at that time in this world, atleast not after reading british books which write worse things about Mahatma
no single person ever did anything. Gandhi did have the guts to come out first. He had the nerve to look the Brits in the eye and tell them they needed to go... and the world heard him. That's what an old man with a lathi can do.
if I could spent one day with anyone from the history, I'd choose Gandhi. Such an inspirational person! I just wish we'd all be like you! RIP memmento.com/Memorial-at-Memmento/3303/Mahatma-Gandhi Feel free to visit Gandhi's tribute!
Gandhi was truely a genious and a man of great compassion. I am a white american and rank Gandhi as one of the greatest people of all time. Also this was an excellent movie and I highly recommend it. Although it was fairly amusing regarding Kingsley, he did a great job though.
It's a shame to watch such a powerful and peaceful trailer and to then scroll down to see so much hate. If we have to prove we are capable of peaceful independence, we have to show it. Look from your eye that see's nothing but loving awareness. Peace to all. Peace and love.
Whenever I write a school essay I always manage to enter Gandhi into my creative writing. It's funny because every single essay I write I can find a way to relate one of his views or deeds to what I was writing about.
Gandhi was a Great man who never belonged to that Era, He dreamt of a Mankind that loved each other and lived in Peace and solved all it's problems by giving up Violence, His vision would make our Planet the definition of Heaven on Earth. But I do agree that his policy of Peace and Non Violence would never have worked again people like Mao or Hitler.
i never said i loved gandhi. but, i do find some of the things he stood for inspirational. by no means was he perfect...nobody is. i happen to think that the good things he did out weigh the negative.
Ben Kingsley is the rarest of actors than can portray a myriad of ethnicities. Admittedly, as an interracial actor often depressed at my prospects in Hollywood, this gives me great hope.
That is what makes India Unique.. Unity in Diversity. We are a crazy mix of languages, cultures and religions but We salute the same Flag and sing the same National Anthem
PEACE world, just because we don't get what we want doesn't mean we have to throw a hissy fit over it(violence) but never accept injustice in any level, THIS man stood for peace and is still remembered and will always be remember peace
i love you gandhi ji......i dont know what people say about you i know one thing ...you could stand against injustice and today whole india is facing the problem because of unethical people... your words will always guide me and give me strength to service forever solute to your sacrifice.. you are a great soul
Gandhi was definitely reactionary in some ways, looking to the past, rather than trying to looking towards the future, even if it meant maintaining the oppressive caste system. He was also revolutionary in some ways, as his anti-imperialist fight, and attempt to unite Hindus and Muslims. A complex and contradictory character, who I personally have a lot of criticisms of , but definitely one of the more complete human beings of the last century.
Gandhi...studied him in RS. He's somebody to be admired. Be you any religion, any race, gender, he shows humans don't have to be full of greed and that one person can change the face of many for the better. RIP
I believe that Gandhi was an absolutely fabulous man. Though his ways of non-violence was not the only one means used in the fight for India's struggle for freedom, and they at some points failed, he is one of the greatest men of the 20'th century, and his theories on non-violence has inspired other great freedom fighters. Long live Mahatma Gandhi!
Gandhi's life was his message indeed. Last month while I was in Delhi I went to visit the place where he was burned and it was very touching, and, then, famous words told by Einstein, once, came to my mind: GENERATIONS TO COME WILL SCARCE BELIEVE THAT SUCH A ONE AS THIS EVER IN FLESH AND BLOOD WALKED UPON THIS EARTH.
Gandhi was an ultimate warrior, a warrior of the heart. We cannot be sure if his example Jezus Christ ever existed and if he did we cannot be sure about if he really was as desciribed in bible- or apocryphal books. With Gandhi we can be sure and though he made some mistakes he was one of our finest, a bright example for all humans. He will live on forever...
The last words of Gandhiji on Congress were " Abolish Indian National Congress otherwise it will loot Indians like Britishers did." - he was so spot on. He also resigned from congress during last days and woed never to rejoin.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji you are THE SOUL OF INDIA! You are the greatest of the great, today we need your strength to create a united India, without you India will not exist. It would have fallen, forget this old man Gandhi seperated India. Support the real heroes. RAJ KHAREGA KHALSA!
I've no clue of how legitimate the claims are of Gandhi being all those negative things, but I do know that he stood for peace and that he wanted no violence whatsoever even if he wanted an independent India
Gandhi wasn't trying to fight a gov't, he was fighting a way of life. The British were in India to modernize another land, which would separate the working class from the higher class. Gandhi and his followers were fighting for a different way of life, a way of love and harmony... Look around you, our world is soulless. we're all moving a mile a second, racing towards a future happiness that expires until next race. there is no next race, you only get one chance. so sit back and let it ride!!!
Gandhi was not a small time leader. His mistakes, as a result, were huge; in keeping with his stature.But his message of peace and non violence, adherence to truth is the only answer to today's strife and violence.That perhaps, is his legacy.He is my hero.
proof that a man can change the world. the greatest threat this world faces today is APATHY, we all want the world to change but we do nothing. "you should be the change you want to see in the world" - mahatma gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi did not really changed the Entire WORLD, but he changed the course of history. If it weren't for Gandhi, India is probably still in British control today. America would be different, because Martin Luther Kind Jr. might not be able to help give African-Americans rights and freedom. The world today would be very different. There are probably more things that would've been different if Gandhi have not existed...
Gandhi certainly had an enormous impact on much of the rest of the world and what courage. As I understand it his policy of non-cooperation and non-violence was largely responsible for the English leaving India. Other counties have learned to their dismay how stiff-necked the british can become when violence is used to resist their will. Argentina with their Falklands debacle are the latest, along with Germany and Ireland, to regret trying to deal with England by pointing a gun at them.
Fun fact: the guy who plays the old white beard dude in Jerrasic park movie, the guy who discovered how to re-create dinosaurs. that actor, directed this movie when he was much younger. so cool how hollywood is all connected.
Wow, the various perspectives here are interesting. Gandhi was like any of us could be - he saw wrongdoings and tried to set them right. He stayed true to his beliefs, made some enemies, gave hope to many. Many incredible people in our history have done powerful things, we do not diminish their achievements by celebrating the lives of others, rather it is through them all that we learn about the future. Peace can start with us. Here. Now. I think that was Gandhi's message. :)
It is difficult to hate someone whom you have not even met before. But I find people here can do the unthinkable. I hope we acquire the good sense to understand the power of love.
people nowadays think of Gandhi more as a demi-god rather then just a man. I would not argue with this people. But, if one can refrain themselves and think of him as a person, then you will realize the sheer intelligence this wonderful man possessed and his calculated moves that succeeded perhaps to the extent that even he had no dreamt. MAHATMA GANDHI, THE WORLD WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!
Gandhi was a great man. Although some of his ideas were a bit bizarre, he developed the theory of non-violence and non-coperation like no other political figure in our world. Without Gandhi we wouldn't have had Luther King, Mandela or any other political rebel who has used non-violence and non-coperation. He deserves to be respected and honoured
What's with these bad comments on a non-violent man? He died for his country, refused luxuries and earthly possessions, used numerous religions as examples, and he ended up creating one of the most successful post-imperial territories of the British Empire. That deserves respect. I respect opinions, but those comments I see are not opinions, but attacks. This isn't a conspiracy movie! I just want to watch this video and scroll down without all this nonsense! Comment, but do no more. Honestly.
To survive against oppression, you must become a warrior saint. A man or a women who can defend against brutal tyrants, you must use your strength to protect the innocent. It is by all means it is righteous to raise your swords when all other means have failed. To survive in hard times requires measures, remove the bonds of fear.
we never call our people ''MAHATMA'' we simply call them ''SHAHEED''....shaheed bhagat singh...shaheed udham singh..shaheed kartar singh sarabha...unknown shaheed soldier (amar jawan jyoti)..to the unknown congress-independent shaheed freedom fighter..A SALUTE and REMEMBRANCE to the forgotten heroes and the aam atmas.
He didn't wear proper dress because many of his people don't have good dress to wear and cover then fully.So he didn't wear dress ,he said ,"while my people are suffering without proper,why should I get comfort,I too will suffer" . Actually it is act of self hypnotism , By doing this,he gains more confidence and the thought of fighting for his people.
Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as [Gandhi ] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth. Dont worry guys, you are from those generations and theres still more to come and many more to go ...
Like Albert Einstein said..."generations to come would scarcely believe....that such in flesh and blood ever walked on this earth." How very poignant!!....and if you read the comments opinions across, you can see the "unbelievablity" ... In my opinion, there couldn't have been another way to pull out a huge nation like from the wrought chains of imperialism with so little bloodshed as through his vision. Simply fantastic.
He tried to make this world better and gave hope to lot of us and i still believe that we can live like that, just respecting each other. Of course, people who won't have enough courage to try it, will reply that it is impossible and just dreamt but whatever they think, i will try my best to show that this ideology is an alternative to our brutish world.
Gandhi was a great human... For those who still hate him, they can think upon the fact that, he never was selfish. Have u every heard of any of his children/grand children/great grand children, active in politics or business or any other media ? He just thought about being good and doing good.
Thanks for the insights. Helpful, I'm still figuring all this out. I googled the quote. Eloquent. He sounds intelligent. But in the end he was a murderer and I doubt his afterlife lived up to his expectations.
@SinghSandeep1987 Gandhi did what Hundreds of People from 2 Centuries before couldn't. He taught the world, We can fight against anything yet in a Peaceful and humanly way where you don't have to use Violence as a force to prove in what you believe in.
Life isn't about determining who's the worst scum or which country is the most evil. Life is about broadening horizons and finding peace where before there was war. It is about showing patience, when all you can feel is anger. Being mature is very hard at times, and it doesn't always pay off the way you like. What you can be certain of, however, is that the alternative is always far worse for everyone.
Gandhi just gives a way of life with peace and non violence... whatever you may about him, or just invent things about his life it won't change the message. You can say, he was a puppet from the British or whatever... the thing is that India became free thanks to him...
When Miriam the British woman (here in 4:20) who came to Sabarmati ashram to become the follower of Gandhi asked him "Do I need to become a Hindu to be follower of your principles and Satyagraha". Gandhi replied "You need to only become a better Christian".
Men honored him.
Women loved him.
An empire feared him.
A nation worshiped him.
Truer words have never been spoken.
"In a gentle way, you can shake the world." - Mahatma Gandhi
The
"Men honored him, women loved him, an empire feared him, a nation worshiped him"
Like a boss.
moving. Despite all failings, it was the man who shone through the haze!! Proud to be an indian!!
a true hero that will never be forgotten, God bless you Gandhi,may you find rest, you have a set path in this world that will never be forgotten,
I'm not an Indian but I certainly worship this man right here.
what a performance Sir Ben kingsley
If there was no Gandhi the world would have been more cruel
He has given an identity for all of us Indians.
An identity of non-violence.
Mahatma..... I have no words to express..,. but..... you are great...god... .,.......

Ben Kingsley did the finest work of his career with this, it's one of the greatest films of all time.
this is one of the best movies i ever saw and Gandhi was a symbol for all the world and still one today, he will never be forgotten.
Ο μεγαλιτερος ανθρωπος που εχει ζη στην γη.
This film is the ultimate homage to one of the greatest men to ever live. This is what a masterpiece REALLY looks like
Im Christian and find not the smallest doubt that Gandhi was a Messiah full of the spirit and love of God.
The fact that Gandhi was the son of a Jainist mother, the most ancient religion, the religion of the paradise, the religion of the absolute love and universal peace just seals the fact.

the world needs more peace
***** The first step is to get rid of all the governments.
Do you agree?

As I recall, after the Portugese empire killed off the Aztec empire invading India, Gandhi declared Maria I a warmonger, and nuked her.

It's amazing how this small man help end 300 years of British Rule in India without using a single weapon or even throw a punch.
Must make injustice visible~
I am a muslim, and a Hindu, and a Christian ,and a Jew and so are you!
wise words! Peace!
Epic.. Non violence is the key to success.. Thru this he didnt destoryed the man but the evil inside him... He should be god...
That is what makes India Unique.. Unity in Diversity. We are a crazy mix of languages, cultures and religions but We salute the same Flag and sing the same National Anthem
That's the beauty of India... we are not one culture or one religion or one color...
We're a multitude of it all...

Happy birthday Bapu!
He showed us a good way to resolve our differences without blood shead.
Anyone who critizices Gandhi more than himself isn't ready to criticize this great man.
It wasn't the Japan we know today...
He didn't expose British weakness, he exposed human compassion.

Gandhi is a model for a humanist revolution, a moral and effective coherence between actions and goals.
Gandhi was a great man. Although some of his ideas were a bit bizarre, he developed the theory of non-violence and non-coperation like no other political figure in our world. Without Gandhi we wouldn't have had Luther King, Mandela or any other political rebel who has used non-violence and non-coperation. He deserves to be respected and honoured

I just want to watch this video and scroll down without all this nonsense! Comment, but do no more. Honestly.
The first man who belived in non violence and lived by his words not many suckers who criticize him here never understood him....
Good thing they filmed this in the early 1980s - another decade and there would be no steam locos left!

Wow 13 years and not a single like , lemme change that for you 😁
Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as [Gandhi ] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.
Dont worry guys, you are from those generations and theres still more to come and many more to go ...
Gandhi is such a powerful figure and an inspiration but he seems to be forgotten by the new generation in India.

He tried to make this world better and gave hope to lot of us and i still believe that we can live like that, just respecting each other.

@722guy God bless you for your kind words about a dead person.
India is the only country in the top 10 largest countries in the world that has never ever ever ever done an offensive war. Impressive!
