The movie shows the nationalism in such a direct and peaceful way. It also offers us a clear picture of the REAL India. Through vivid chaos and panics, cruelty and corruption, we can definitely appreciate his fearlessness and forgiveness. Well, I am so amazed that “nonviolence and disobedience” really works. As for the movie itself, it avoids shooting some crazy actions by letting them presented in other people's conversations afterwards. Moreover, the subtle details, the expressions in their eyes, the smiles, the postures, the steady steps, the sights of his back… they all touched me deeply. In a nutshell, salute to the great man, salute to his contributions in leading India to independence and inspiring movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

BTW, I must have fallen in love with Kingsley. I wish I would not miss any of his works.

Gandhi quotes

  • Lord Irwin, Viceroy: Mr. Gandhi will find that it takes a great deal more than a pinch of salt to bring down the British Empire.

  • Edward R. Murrow: [at Gandhi's funeral] The object of this massive tribute died as he had always lived - a private man without wealth, without property, without official title or office. Mahatma Gandhi was not a commander of great armies nor ruler of vast lands. He could boast no scientific achievements or artistic gift. Yet men, governments and dignitaries from all over the world have joined hands today to pay homage to this little brown man in the loincloth who led his country to freedom. Pope Pius, the Archbishop of Canterbury, President Truman, Chiang Kai-shek, The Foreign Minister of Russia, the President of France... are among the millions here and abroad who have lamented his passing. In the words of General George C. Marshall, the American Secretary of State, "Mahatma Gandhi had become the spokesman for the conscience of mankind, a man who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires." And Albert Einstein added, "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."
