Gandhi - 1982 - Richard Attenborough



This film is so good that I can't believe people were allowed to make it.

For me the big learning experience was that Gandhi first considered himself to be a Christian and then later seemed to merge aspects of Christianity with Hinduism.

What I like about the film is that it overtly challenges people to examine their behavior and to continually try to rise to a higher level of compassion and humanity. It sets high standards for our behavior and encourages us to reach those standards.

I guess the only criticism might be that a white guy was chosen to play an Indian guy instead of finding an Indian guy to pay an Indian guy. I am not sure how I feel about that - what do you think?
