GANDHI the movie is‚ above all‚ meant for entertainment. However‚ the movie is historically correct save for a few exceptions; but it is clear why Richard Attenborough (GANDHI’s director) has made these errors.

It is true that this event really happened but it is unclear why Gandhi got so angry and started his campaign in South Africa. A weak point of the GANDHI is its inability to elaborate on major episodes

3‚ 2014 A 90’s film entitled "Little Buddha" starring Keanu Reeves is hardly something that would get me excited. The first time I watched the movie I couldn’t even stay awake to pay attention. But upon downloading the film and watching it on my own time‚ I was surprisingly interested and entertained by it. That being said‚ it’s still not one of my favorite movies‚ but at least I understand the essence of the movie. What I liked most about Little Buddha is that even without romance‚ violence

of Gandhi On January 30‚ 1948‚ Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was assassinated by Nathuram Godse. As Godse walks up to Gandhi‚ he shoots him three times in the chest from three feet away (Trumball 1). As “the strongest influence for peace in India that this generation has known‚” Gandhi did not deserve to be assassinated despite the beliefs of Godse (Trumball 1).

What are we to make of Gandhi’s life? How should we judge this homespun-wearing politician-saint‚ the man who brought down an empire by preaching brotherhood and nonviolence? At the very end‚ with his beloved India reaping its own destruction‚ Gandhi considered himself a failure. But his place in history is secure‚ and it does not diminish his greatness to point out that in some respects‚ he had failed. He had spent his life working toward the achievement of independence for India without violence
