I was just watching the movie GANDHI on tv by Richard Attenborough staring Ben Kingsley. One of the finest movies made in our times. All the praise it recieved in the form of numerous awards was well deserved. The actors need to be applauded for their work, they looked very believable especially Ben Kingsley who potrayed the role of Gandhiji. Even though it is made by an English man and the movie is in English, I could still relate to it very easily. The Director's vision and his attention to detail is comendable.Certainly a must watch to every Indian and more than that for anyone who appreciates good cinema.
Bapu is definitely one of the most important personality in Indian History. He was a great leader. I disagree with him on some of his actions, but he was only human. As someone once said, "You can find hundreds of people who did not like Gandhiji, but thousands who atleast partially agreed with him and maybe millions who adored him."
One of my favourite quote by Gandhiji, which was also in the movie is-
"They may torture me, or break my bones or even kill me.But they'll only have my dead body, not my obedience."
Gandhiji did not only say this, but believed in it and was courageous enough to put it into action throughout his life...Truly a Mahatma.
