in a silent place

The nonvoilence of the Mahatma reminds me of this word.

The third year of high school also wrote this topic, from Mr. Lu Xun's "Listening to Thunder in a Silent Place".

Come to think of it, Gandhi's actions are indeed like this.

From South African encounters to train trips to Africa, jail release parade then jail.
As he himself said, if India is ready, I think there should be less killings.

Please allow my ignorance, I have always been a little surprised by the development of the plot.
I don't quite understand how South Africa released Gandhi, and how Britain released India, as if Mr. Gandhi became a great prophet, or I don't know much about politics.

At the beginning, I was frightened by the time of the movie. I was focused at the beginning, concentrated at the end, and lost in the middle.

Seeing the silent resistance of the Indian people for freedom, they went to the British police in batches. They knew it was going to be a blow with a stick, but they still moved forward bravely. This scene was particularly moving and made me feel awe of Indians.


Later, I saw that all the Muslims went to Pakistan, and the Hindus stayed in India.
I understand that this problem was not solved during Gandhi's time.

If the killer hadn't killed Gandhi before he planned to go to Pakistan, perhaps the India-Pakistan conflict would not have lasted until now.

I am grateful to Pakistan, both politically and personally.
This summer, Pakistan has experienced another disaster, and I hope that the world will be at peace, so that everyone can live a good life.


Gandhi made me feel that the pursuit of freedom is not that difficult, but there is still a long way to go for peace.

    Absolutely classic! Blockbusters from 30 years ago don't seem old-fashioned at all, just like today. Gandhi, the nirvana hunger strike, a handful of salt defeats the empire on which the sun never sets; the great soul makes his opponents awe-inspiring; but the father of the country is helpless when he sees his son split up. Non-violent non-cooperation is like a miracle, and it will not manifest in China without faith. It is also admirable that Britain can make such a film 33 years after India's independence.

    The movie looks alright, just judge Samsung based on the movie. But I can't help but sigh that fortunately our national leader is not Gandhi but Mao Zedong. Gandhi did not go through a complete revolution and gave up the country's better development prospects in exchange for the praise of Westerners. The few people who commented on it really thought that the colonists of the British Empire were a group of "civilized" good men and women. If it weren't for the fact that Britain's own strength had declined to the point where it could not control Asia, would it be such a "gentleman" to give up India's interests? It's eye-opening that people who have been invaded and colonized rushed to sing praises to their perpetrators.

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."
