Cinema - Gandhi
(Ana Soares)
When we think of Peace, Brotherhood and Freedom, we immediately think of Gandhi. This great man is known all over the world for trying to establish peace among men and for making them respect one another as Human Beings.
Gandhi travelled aroung the world and felt astonished when he noticed the racism which persisted in South Africa. Two different races couldn't walk side by side in the street. They couldn't help neither be helped. When they did, they would have been badly treated or even felt ashamed for simply existing.
In the eyes of this great man we should do as God says and 'give the other cheek' when someone treats you unkindly or roughly.
As he wasn't able to do anything in Africa, he decided to return to his native country, India. At least, in this land, he would feel Indian and fight for a real cause, his cause.
India was under the British domain at this time and Indians were being constantly attacked by the British soldiers. They felt they were inferior, they had to obey them and that they could never free themselves and live in a free country. Everything belonged to the British, everything was in itself so british. Gandhi tried to invert this situation. Through peace they could achieve his goals and be a free country, with free thought and free will. He had to make much starvation, so that people could understand that violence takes us nowhere. He was arrested too many times because of his People's rebellions.
Gandhi made what no other man could ever have made. He drove a country to its freedom and was the hope of his people.
This film is a master-piece, a look at the heart and soul of a man whose vistory had changed the world forever.
