Remarkable!

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2006)

One could read textbooks and essays to find out all there is to know about Gandhi, but one may never really "know" what he did until watching this film. "Gandhi" is the epic true story of an Indian lawyer who took up the political battle against British rule in India by civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance, a method that emphasizes peaceful resolution as opposed to aggressive lawlessness.
Not always an easy film to watch, but a very necessary film to watch. Director Richard Attenborough paints an elaborate picture about where mankind's been, and what it's done, and where it's going. It is a picture that must be studied closely if we're ever to figure out how to attain peace on this planet, one of the ideals for which Gandhi "fought".
Strikingly powerful and inspired, "Gandhi" holds the key to humanity's future; a key that is yet to be found.
