A young man born in a family with a strong religious atmosphere, grew up and was able to study in a country that respects rights and freedoms in the West. The contradictory ideology and the living environment full of suffering gave him a new ideological system. The talent was not wasted in the slightest: leading the Indian people out of the haze of being colonized and proving to the world the real existence of a great soul. His death is as concerned by the poor people as the political leaders when he was alive. His every move is related to the fate of the nation and the country and even the change of the whole world pattern. He is a stubborn old man who only wears clothes woven by himself. The body has repeatedly gone on hunger strikes to solve national riots one after another - he is Gandhi.
As a biography of a character, this film first explained Gandhi's death in flashbacks. The kind old man who slowly walked out of the support of the people looked at the executioner in front of him with a smile, and instantly left us with countless suspense: Why is Gandhi so admired by the people? Which force was assassinated by? What kind of motives and goals did the people who killed him have? What will happen to India after Gandhi's death? The three-hour film cannot describe the life of this great leader in detail, but it also explains in detail the formation and maturation of Gandhi's most important thought in his life, "non-violence and non-cooperation". He was a great philosopher and orator, but it turned out that his fraternity doomed him not to be a good politician, and ultimately the division of India and Pakistan because of religious beliefs was not unrelated to his decision-making mistakes. However, we can see more from these people who are almost paranoid about one religion and resent other religions, their thoughts and lives are not blessed or helped by God at all, while Gandhi draws the essence from many religions and tries his best to He is the one who truly believes in and implements his beliefs.
Gandhi, who devoted his life to saving the weak and women, said that there were two kinds of slavery in India, one for women and one for the lowly pariah. The enslaved, oppressed, and unfairly treated people are his saviors. In his eyes, these two types of people are people who are infinitely exploited by the world and discriminated against at the same time. Thinking of the beast incidents that have repeatedly appeared in India, people almost forget that this country is also one of the four ancient civilizations, almost makes people forget that this country is the birthplace of Buddhism, and almost makes people forget that there was a short man in this country. The man used a strong soul to make the whole world tremble, leaving only extreme contempt for women's rights. This is also a major problem that Gandhi failed to solve at the time, and it is also an extremely interesting phenomenon: these countries with longer civilizations and deeper histories are all based on the exploitation of women. It will use its rich backward experience and extreme animal nature as a solution. It's not just India that has seen all kinds of bestiality, but people are more concerned about how dire the lives of people abroad are.
Ben Kingsley, who played Gandhi, stunned the world before with his role as the Jewish secretary in Schindler's List. None of his characters feel like he's acting. While watching the movie, you will feel like watching a documentary, watching the birth of a great soul, watching this innocent heart who loves different ethnic groups stumble in the sinister world but have a firm goal, watching them because of too many Fraternity fell for the victims of political or religious struggles, watching them perfectly radiate the radiance of a deceased person to the living corpses in just a few hours. When Gandhi died, Einstein said that future generations would not believe that such a person really existed in the world. I have to thank these great actors, because of their wonderful performances, these leaders can once again appear in the eyes of future generations like gods, to feel the joys and sorrows between the sand and the roar of the tide of history.
The most turbulent, most difficult, but also the most noble and most united era is over. Times made Gandhi and it destroyed Gandhi. He is the spokesman of human conscience. His love is too selfless and pure, but after all, he underestimates the evil thoughts and desire for destruction of human nature. Different people or classes naturally have different comments and opinions on him, but history will tell future generations that Mahatma Gandhi deserves his name.
