Very moving. Very well put together.
Once asked what he thought of the Western civilization Gandhi answered that it would be a good idea. Well, a great movie about Gandhi would be a good idea too.
A magnificent portrayal of an extraordinary man which captivates you to the very end. Ben Kingsley 's exceptional performance produces a truly intriguing and realistic depiction of Gandhi. His undeniable talent. Attenborough's incredible vision, and the dedication of so many peop...( read more)
A movie that is worth seeing many times over. Great cast, lovely rendering of Mahatmas persona by Ben Kinglsey.
Being a Richard Attenborough film you expect it to be rather epic. And considering the subject matter, epic does seem in order. So I was very impressed when the film displayed a tone to match the man. Epic, but in a subtle, underplayed way.
There are generally men of this i...( read more)
Why don't they make more films about nice people doing good things? BECAUSE THEY'RE BORING! That's why 90% of movies are about gangsters, geeks, and dysfunctional screw-ups. The only reason the movie deserves to be seen is for it's historical sweep and majestic cinematography. If...( read more)
A beautiful film about one of the most inspiring people to have ever lived. The performances are wonderful and the historical accuracy is admirable. All in all, a great film.
This was a great film. It wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped but I can appreciate the effort and skill involved in making it.
Ben Kingsley even look like Gandhi! This is a must see. It's as simple as that.
i did not have high expectations here,but this movie proved me wrong...it is a delicate but accurate bio of the man....it is not soapish or exaggerated....it is a perfect balance between two worlds (catchy movies and works of art) and this movie does not fail at making them work ...( read more)
Saw this a year ago in World Cultures and loved it very well acted and a great following of Gandhi's life.
An epic. Ben Kingsley is outstanding in this undoubtedly controversial best picture, it triumphs on subject matter alone. I really liked the cinematography, but the editing I found choppy and irritating - it's hard to keep a narrative that's so involved interesting, and to presen...( read more)
omg this movie was so boring it took us over like half the year to watch it in history class!!!!!!
A true epic, a great film for a great man! Everything in this film was just perfect, the whole film I didn't watch Ben Kingsley performing, it was the true Gandhi on screen! Direction is perfect, the whole story is absolutely great. One of the best films in 1982 (too bad E.T. was...( read more)
What can I say about a movie that chronicles one of the greatest human beings that ever lived. Of course this movie is excellent, and if you haven't seen it, don't come back to this website till you do.
Very, VERY few films have had the distinct ability to move and inspire me to the point where the effect is almost life-altering. "Gandhi" - the unbelievable, first-rate biopic on the historical figure - is truly one of those films, no question whatsoever. An unsurprising sweep fo...( read more)
This is a great piece of work by Attenborough. a must see for all. Ben's played the role of Mahatma Gandhi very well..
I haven't seen this since I was in middle school, and needless to say I wasn't really paying attention. I really should see this again.
