Sir Richard Attenborough's 1982 multiple-Oscar winner (including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Ben Kingsley) is an engrossing, reverential look at the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi, who introduced the doctrine of nonviolent resistance to the colonized people of India and who ultimately gained the nation its independence. Kingsley is magnificent as Gandhi as he changes over the course of the three-hour film from an insignificant lawyer to an international leader and symbol. Strong on history (the historic division between India and Pakistan, still a huge problem today, can be seen in its formative stages here) as well as character and ideas, this is a fine film. --Tom Keogh Stills from Gandhi (click for larger image) Beyond Gandhi on Amazon.com

Good Acting November 29, 2008
Ramjetz (Long Beach Washington)
Gandhi was lots of fun..I love the parts where there is beatings and he
just turns the other cheek...I wish there could have been more car chases
but I think it may have taken away from the story...Gandhi was a cool dude
he was smarter than most the people he hung out with...What makes him better than Batman and other superheroes is that he was a real dude not just a guy from a cartoon story...I never figured out who his girlfriend was....maybe I missed that part...Gandhi was old school but he could have been big today..yes it was a good movie for those of us who can really understand what Gandhi had up his sleeve...he was like James Bond without the babes and cars.....Gandhi was the Man in his day...
Monumental Film Making Worthy of It's Subject November 27, 2008
R. J. Marsella (California)
Watching Richard Attenborough's masterpiece bio-epic is both an uplifting and draining experience. The performance of Ben Kingsley as Gandhi is one of those rare moments in film history where an actor seems to inhabit the character so completely allowing the viewer to get a deeper personal experience of an historical character.
Perfectly blending the political history with the personal story , this movie at 3 hours is an investment of time that pays dividends rarely found on a screen. I recently watched this again after several years and was just as moved by it as when it was first released.
Many filmmakers would go for the sentimental approach and try to create myths around their subject. In Gandhi there is a an element of that but the film will stand up to time because the portrayal is historically accurate and the subject at the heart of the film is a mythical character beyond the need of a boost from the movie.
 Ben Kingsley at His Best as Gandhi November 21, 2008

This is a movie everyone who can should see. It is deeply moving through most of it. Some viewers will see humor in it as well. The superlatives are too numerous to list in a short review. Some viewers will be disappointed in spots. To be more realistic, the film would need to exlore Gandhi's mere mortal side (as starters, his wife suggests he cheated on his celebacy oath a few times). It also would need to exlore his showman side (as starters, he wore his loincloth when visiting England in very cold weather).
Gandhi a spiritual journey November 17, 2008
Maria Brullo (Brooklyn, NY)
I remember when the movie first came out. It left a lasting impression on me. This movie is a timeless lesson on world views regarding politics,as well as social, and spritual tasks ahead of us.
It reminds one of how we are all connected. It demonstrates how one visionary can change a society for the benefit of all.
I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in learning more about the journey of the human condition.
