 Gandhi a spiritual journey, 2008-11-17
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.

GANDHI is Must See!, 2008-11-11
I first saw this movie many years ago in theaters, and a few years after that when I bought it for my library. It was on two VHS tapes in those days, and now 1 DVD has the entire movie. I'm sure everyone knows the story of Gandhi, so I won't go into that.
GANDHI is a long movie (more than 3-hours) so this was my third viewing of it (theater, VHS tapes, and now DVD. Each time I see it, I enjoy it more than the last time, perhaps because I am older and can understand his significance better now. How, through non-violent resistance, he achieved independence for his country (India) from the British Empire, and how he influenced not only his country, but the world by his actions.
Now, more than ever, we Americans should see this movie, because Gandhi, perhaps more than anyone else, influence Doctor Martin Luther King Jr and the Civil Rights Movement in this country that has just seen the ultimate achievement of having a black American elected President of the United States.
Ben Kingsley IS Gandhi. There is nothing to say about the acting in this film, because they are so good in their roles that it is like living through his world. In the Collector's Addition there is an entire second DVD of Special Features that is almost as interesting as the movie itself and that is saying something.
If you are not moved by this film, they need to check your heart, because you died sometime ago.

 Great movie, 2008-10-28
Ben Kingsley makes you believe that he is indeed the little brown man who changed history. The movie has something of an epic quality about it and encapsulates the spirit of Gandhi. It is a "must see."

Gandih, 2008-08-14
I had not seen this movie since it first came out and it is still a superb movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone. As a child, I can recall news articles about Gandih. But like most of us, as a child things going on around you don't actually sink in. But this movie re-awakened a very important part of world history for me.

Kingsley IS "Gandhi" , 2008-08-13
Kudos to film makers who go to great lengths to cast an actor who more than just resembles the person being depicted. With Ben Kinglsey playing the role, they couldn't have done a better job: he IS Gandhi!
