Richard Attenborough's Gandhi: Movie Review: Popular Cinema And Gandhi
analytical Essay
3061 words
Popular Cinema and Gandhi Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi (1982) is one of the most celebrated movies based on the Gandhian tradition. Apart from the directorial edge and Ben Kingsley’s applauding performance, the movie gave birth to a new tradition in Gandhian studies. Up till 1980 there was no major cinematic contribution to the greatest hero of Indian nation. Indian directors were apprehensive about making a movie on Gandhi, and considering the magnitude of the subject it was expected. The movie, Gandhi, presents a chronologically drawn account of Gandhi’s life. The movie starts with a note at the beginning: “No man's life can be encompassed in one telling. There is no way to give each year its allotted weight, to include each event, each …show more content…
Benegal’s Gandhi is not Attenborough’s ‘saintly’ Gandhi; rather he only strives to be the latter. Benegal’s Gandhi is a bright, hopeful young lawyer who came to South Africa to earn a living. He is neither great nor saintly but he is courageous enough to stand for the right cause. This movie gives a glimpse into the making of a great man; he was not born great but he achieved greatness by adhering to the simple human values. It is an intimate account of the life of Gandhi who worked hard and gave many sacrifices to become a leader. The wife, Kasturba and son, Harilal were the constant reminders of his human side and he learnt that to follow the right path he must give away whatever little he holds dear to himself. Since Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is the human counterpart of Mahatma Gandhi, and the movie makes the former its prime subject. Shyam Benegal in an interview said, “It is the young Gandhi we don’t know”. Mahatma Gandhi is known to all with due regard to Attenborough’s film production, the human side of Gandhi which is safely omitted by the director is little known. Benegal’s sees these twenty one years spanning from 1893-1914 as crucial since these were the years Gandhi spent as a human who longed to find his purpose in life, these were the experiments that made him the Mahatma …show more content…
The attempt to assassinate Gandhi echoes the assassination attempts plotted against Hitler (Operation Valkyrie, Operation Spark, et cetera). Gandhi is presented as a shrewd man who is inadvertently responsible for the conflicting interests of the Hindu and Muslim community. Such devices boost Gandhi’s larger-than-life image and its consequences. Gandhi’s ideology was adept in many situations, but gradually it turned burdensome, and Gandhi’s strong will became insufferable. One man’s will was posed against the interests of many others; hence Gandhi’s end was inevitable. Such philosophies are propagated during the course of the movie, and often repeated in order to demythicize the

- Analysis Of The Movie Gandhianalytical essayAfter the British empire separated itself from India, inner-country religious problems began to arise. The Muslims and Hindus of the liberated India released their pent up anger on each other and combusted into civil war right after they won the peaceful war against Great Britain. This war distressed Gandhi, who has insight into the unity of mankind, and encouraged him to go on a hunger strike until the brutality ceased. While on his near-death bed, he is approached by a Hindu who “killed a child” because the Muslims “killed [his] son,” and in response, Gandhi said that the way out of his “Hell is to “Find a [Muslim] child, a child whose mother and father have been killed and raise him as your own,” therefore the man would be able to see the equality in all religions. Throughout his entire life, Gandhi, though a Hindu, never prosecuted anyone for their religion and was able to see through everyone’s eyes as fellow brother’s and sisters, not enemies. This ability to empathize and recognize the general unity of the human population allowed Gandhi insight into the human

1323 wordsRead More - The Hunger Games and The Compoundanalytical essayMahatma Gandhi, a nationalist and spiritual leader was perceptive and objectively so, perhaps most eminently when he instructed his zealots, “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win” (Mahatma). Gandhi has a remarkable sagacity at a young age and strengthened it throughout the succession of his life. Although the aforementioned quote merely previews the extent of his intellect, it effectively summarizes his political approach. After becoming a member of the Indian National Congress Gandhi had the potential to become a most influential leader for the Indian people, and he did. Gandhi committed his political title towards fighting against the unlawful oppression of British rule. His method of fighting, however, was a politically innovative, mental type of fight. As a firm believer in the value of Pacifism, Gandhi developed the theory of non-violent civil protest and vowed to prevent his followers from succumbing to the allure of bloodshed. The irenic nature of Gandhi’s leadership won him the admiration of many Indian people, and is now considered to have political genius prestigious enough to be studied today (Mahatma 2). In some instances, studying Gandhi’s political strategy demonstrates the benefits of an actively participating governed majority. In today’s society, many people tend to make uneducated political decisions and sometimes even refrain from making one completely. In a variety of circumstances, related to any category of politics, from the election of a new president to the enactment of new laws, a group of Americans remain unrepresented because of their refusal to exercise their right to vote. A topic such as gun control would be a fitting example of a subject that while put ...

The killer was a radical Hindu named Nathuram Godse, who believed that his support of peace with the Muslims was traitorous. Through his long and loving life, Gandhi proved that the most powerful instigator of change doesn’t have to be bloodshed. He accomplished much more than any of history’s most violent revolutionaries, and he didn’t need to throw a single punch to do it. Although Gandhi himself drew inspiration from other famous spreaders of peace like Jesus and the Buddha, people hundreds of years from now will still probably know about his remarkable existence, just as they’ll still remember the lives of his own influences.

It was not just the mere understanding and compassion for others that was born. It was also his direct experience with the dehumanizing treatment at the hands of the European authorities. He took this experience back with him to India, and whether it was with intent or not, he began to build upon his experience and gain a reputation for “saintliness” (Lal, 2012, p. 2) with those he came in contact with. Again, it was not only his physical ability to exude peace and love to people but his educational experience afforded him the ability to write detailed and adequate propositions to facilitate change among his nation. Even more notable is his response to the resistance of authorities, whereby he remained a peaceful opposition in spite of imprisonment. Ultimately, Gandhi’s driving force was to see India a nation independent and at peace. Gandhi, by the late stages of his movement had gained such a following and support that he boldly challenged those that felt and believed in his mission be just as committed as he was to lay down their lives (in the turn your other cheek type of action) in order to see India freed (Lal,

He was killed because of the split of Hindus and Muslims into Pakistan and India, instead of trying to keep the country united (which was impossible at the time). The story then jumps back to Gandhi early in his life, when he is a practicing attorney. He is traveling in South Africa on a train and is thrown off because he refuses to give up his first class seat. The conductor wants him to move because he is Indian. This upsets him and he organizes a burning of the discriminatory codes. The protestors are arrested and released.
