Think of it.

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2004)

Very beautiful and powerful movie. I found certain scenes very touching just like when Gandhi tells his stepdaughter that in times of doubt, the way of love and truth will always win, and sometimes, God's way is the best way. Also the very intense scene when the Indians persist going through the gate guarded by the troops and take their blows fearlessly; Walker telephones his report and testimony of the unbelievable event at the salt factory. The early scenes expose the fact that Gandhi, besides being a man of nonviolence is also a man of unbiasedness in worldwide religiosity, as he supports the teachings of Hinduism, the Koran and even Christianity... he even quotes Jesus in the New Testament in one scene where he converses with his Christian Presbyter friend. This, and other early scenes foreshadow the compassion, patience and endurance in the name of peace and love that Gandhi was to display for the rest of his life. Was also interesting to see Gandhi's stepdaughter mention something that might have been borne out of her love for him --- she says that Gandhi has always shown people a way out of madness, yet he and the world were not able to recognize it. This is also a film of TRUTH and unpretentiousness, as Gandhi's end is shown to us in the beginning of the movie, and recapped in the end. Beautiful VO by the Mahatma in the end when he mentions that powerful, evil tyrants always fall. And the way of truth and love has always won. I'll put GANDHI in my top ten from now on.
