A critical masterpiece, GANDHI is an intriguing story about activism, politics, religious tolerance and freedom. But at the center of it all is an extraor- dinary man who fought for a nonviolent, peaceful existence, and set an entire nation free. Winner of 8 Academy Awards® including Best Picture, Best Director (Lord Richard Attenborough) and Best Actor (Sir Ben Kingsley), GANDHI?s highly acclaimed cast also includes Candice Bergen, Edward Fox, Sir John Gielgud, Roshan Seth and Martin Sheen.

The extras include more than 90 minutes of new material, including interviews with director Lord Richard Attenborough; actors Geraldine James, Saeed Jaffrey, and Edward Fox; Diana Hawkins (Director of Publicity), Terry Clegg (Executive in charge of production), Billy Williams (Cinematographer) and Stuart Craig (Production Designer). The DVD includes a Director?s commentary with Attenborough, who also filmed a personal introduction to the film. The featurettes include In Search of Gandhi, Reflections on Ben, Madeleine Slade: An Englishwoman Abroad, The Funeral, Shooting an Epic In India, Looking Back, Designing Gandhi (3 mini featurettes) and From the Director?s Chair (2 mini featurettes).

epic film

This is an incredible film, moving and memorable. Just do a quote search for some of the powerful sayings from this film. Of course it can't be 100% accurate, and it might make other characters seem less than what they were...but with a title like Gandhi, it should be pretty obvious who the central character focus is on. Phenomenal. Do a little research on the events surrounding Gandhi's life, Africa and India, and the movie will make a lot more sense.


What peaceful resistance can achieve

Almost absurd that the person who made it possible to peacefully have the 'Leaders of The World', the British, hand over the regime of India to Indians, was nontheless a revolutionary, no matter how peaceful his own personal actions were.

Very inspiring to see how little one may need to become, and remain, content.

Mahatma Gandhi's 140th birthday is coming up on October 2, 2009, let's celebrate!

Beautifully Done

Beautifully shot and wonderful storytelling. Helps to teach the concept of passive resistance over violence to enact change in governments, society, and even the current youth culture. Excellent for opening the minds of those who are absolutely clueless and are not necessarily taught about choice and responsibility at home.


Tragic Epic of a Great Leaader -- A Masterpiece

I've used this film regularly for discussing charismatic transformational leadership with my business school students. The acting is incredible, the story monumental, and the dialogue and imagery unforgettable. Despite its length, I've watched more than a dozen times, and will continue to learn from it each time I watch it.

Superb story of perhaps the world's greatest human being

Ben Kingsly was Gandhi, in appearance, in demeanor, in manner. His greatest role as the world's greatest leader and humanitarian. This movie should be seen by everyone. It is a beautifully made film about India, about Indians, about human beings, and last of all about Mahatma Gandhi, the inspiration to billions.
