Einstein, the most intelligent person in human history, commented on Gandhi: "It may be difficult for future generations to believe that history has walked through such a flesh and blood."
Gandhi, the theoretical creator and practitioner of nonviolent resistance, A mirror in a specific environment at a specific time.
From Brahmin nobles, lawyers studying in the UK, to traveling in India, and finally determining the belief in saving national freedom and equality, Gandhi possessed extraordinary courage, wisdom and national integrity. Of course, it is also very important to marry a daughter-in-law who understands righteousness.
Anger naturally evolves into violence. Only with faith and compassion can we tolerate the injustice we have suffered, face pain and maintain reason.

This is a good film that understands the history of India and Pakistan, worthy of an epic legend; the acting is good, the ascetic style is too sexy, worthy of the Oscar for best actor.

There are too many frustrations in the second half of the film. After all, Gandhi is stubborn, and Nehru is not smart enough, and his speech is not convincing enough. In the end, Gandhi was still an idealist. When faced with fierce religious conflicts, non-violent resistance was no longer effective. The hunger strike became the last bargaining chip, but the hunger strike worked because everyone still loved you.

"When I despair, I remember that in history only truth and love can prevail". And what I want to say is: repaying grievances with virtue, why repay virtue? Repaying grievances with directness, repaying virtues with virtue.
