His Triumph Changed The World Forever.
Gandhi was not a ruler of nations, nor did he have scientific gifts. Yet this small, modest man did what others before him could not. He led an entire country to freedom - he gave his people hope. Gandhi, the man of the century, is explored in this breathtaking, unforgettable motion picture.
After 20 years in the making, this masterful epic garnered eight 1982 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay. In stirring detail, Gandhi's life, principles and power explode on the screen with vivid scenes such as the horrific massacre at Amristar, where the British opened fire on 15,000 unarmed men, women and children, and the dramatic march to the sea where Gandhi led thousands of his fellow Indians to prove that sea salt belonged to all and was not just a British commodity. A distinguished cast of characters surrounds Academy Award®-winning Ben Kingsley as Gandhi, including Candice Bergen, John Gielgud and Trevor Howard. A vision of the heart and soul of a man, Gandhi is a classic epic as timeless as Gandhi himself.

An important movie about an important man - 4.75 out of 5 (11/30/2001)
GANDHI is a true epic with spectacular photography, brilliant acting, and a witty script. The movie conveys a sense of awe and wonder about this historical figure, and is engaging from beginning to end. It's one thing to react to a big crash-bang explosion from a noisy, empty-headed epic like INDEPENDANCE DAY or some other piece of junk; it's another to have your emotions engaged through incredible storytelling. Director Richard Attenborough has made one of the very best movies of the eighties

A must buy! - 4.75 out of 5 (8/28/2001)
You should have this one if ur a fan of a true-to-life epic film especially if its a best picture of Academy awards. Ben Kingsley done it! He's the right choice for the the character of Bapu. The features are OK with a mood of hindu tunes. The audio is clear but its more on dialogue what do you expect from this kind of film it is rich in Mahatma phrases of wisdom and purity. Over all you'll love this film!
