Review of Gandhi (1982) by Vanessa L — 19 Sep 2009

Wow. What a powerful and touching story. I loved this movie and if you are looking for a film about Hindu History this movie definitely does justice for Gandhi's story and the great change he provoked. I enjoyed watching this film that furthered my knowledge of what Gandhi did for the Hindu people and women. Gandhi was appalled when he was on the train and the officers confronted him about being colored. I love the way Gandhi stood his ground and did not give into what the officers were saying, which would have lowered his self esteem. I hate the way the officers treated him and through him of the train. All the things Gandhi went though to gain rights or the Hindu and women ranged from being imprisoned, mistreated every day and even getting beaten badly to where he had to be hospitalized. But what was so fantastic about it was that he never gave up and always proved his point no matter what and he was willing to die for this cause. What Gandhi did was an amazing thing and I recommend this movie to all interested. In the end he accomplished gaining equal rights, but a women said he felt as if he had not accomplished anything which I think Gandhi should be extremely proud of what he did.

It is obvious that this movie definitely relates to the class world religions. First of all the movie is about the history of the Hindu people. And there is an entire chapter about Hinduism in the world religions text book.Second of all when learning about Hinduism it is important to know Gandhi's story so you understand what he did or the Hindus and how remarkable his story is. Watching this movie helps you to get a glimpse of what went on during that particular time period for the Hindus and how they were mistreated.
