I saw that Ben Kingsley epic as a youngster with my folks.
I'm pretty sure that's the only movie I've ever fallen asleep in.

you think peoples in here are gonna get the reference?

Whether they get it is kinda irrelevant.

...cuz ain't none of us hillbillies way up here in PTP is as learned as you might be in the ways of them thar 'rock and rolling' records you goofy kids insist on listenin to these here days.

Or 12 year old classic hip-hop joints.

Damn, man.

As to the post: I kinda wish I could say yes, but my answer is no, not really. But I've been meaning to watch it again cuz it's been a really long time and I'm curious as to how I'd feel about it nowadays.

that was funny. i'm sure alot of people catch that reference.....i hope.

while sipping Don P, nonetheless.

Like it's a 3 hour epic about Ghandi, not Scarface.

Is something that can get you excited...but watching the dramatization of which?

Can you get charged up off of watching Rosewood?

but, when i first saw the film i was amazed by the scenes of non-violent protest
especially the one where they figure out horses won't trod on lying bodies
it's inspiring to think the intellect prevails in those situations
to someone who doesn't know the story of ghandi already i think it could get you 'charged'

i'm black and proud, i'm black and loud
i'm black and high
and it really mean the world to me
if i live my life, stay black, and die

eh, you're easily amused

I don't spend alot of time worrying about Ghandi

(anyone see that Daily Show ep last week?)

Just now got the reference

Paul Farmer's biography. It makes me think that one person CAN change the world.

I need to read that book.

it'll grab you and not let you go until you finish. I want you to be Paul Farmer, too. I want there to be more Paul Farmers in this world.

I hang onto that movie for so long, even with that new Blockbuster "no late fees" nonsense, I still wind up getting charged. I guess I should just buy a copy, but this way is all I know.

And E.T. got robbed that year.

I've never seen this flick tho
*adds to q*

Because I always get hungry and poor Ghandi can't eat anything.

he was a racist
he disliked black people
go figure
i never saw the movie though

in that book the author puts forward evidence to imply that gandhi thought he was above black south africans. and going from the quotes in gandhis writings, it doesnt make him look too good. the tone suggests that he thinks himself above the black prisoners he was stuck with. but to be fair, the person he was in south africa isnt the same person he was decades later. i dont know for definite if he changed his views on black people but he did become more wise and open minded/enlightened in his old age (as did say, malcom x) and theres some quotes here offering some counter evidence that the guy writing the book conveniently overlooked:

“ England has got successful competitors in America, Japan, France, Germany. It has competitors in the handful of mills in India, and as there has been an awakening in India, even so there will be an awakening in South Africa with its vastly richer resources -- natural , mineral and human. The mighty English look quite pigmies before the mighty races of Africa. They are noble savages after all, you will say. They are certainly noble, but no savages and in the course of a few years the Western nations may cease to find in Africa a dumping ground for their wares.”
Gandhi, speaking at Oxford, October 24, 1931 (CWMG , Volume 48, p.225).

“You, on the other hand, are the sons of the soil who are being robbed of your inheritance. You are bound to resist that. Yours is a far bigger issue.” Gandhi to Rev S.S. Tema , member of the African Congress, January 1, 1939 (CWMG, Volume 68, pp 272-273.)

A deputation from South Africa led by Sorabji Rustomji came to India in 1946 (CWMG, Vol 83, pp 352-354). It was protesting against racial legislation in South Africa. A member of the delegation asked Gandhi: “You have said we should associate with Zulus and Bantus. Does it not mean joining them in a common anti-white front? “ Gandhi replied: “Yes, I have said that we should associate with the Zulus, Bantus, etc….It will be good if you can fire them with the spirit of non-violence”. (CWMG, Vol 83, p 353). Gandhi remarked of the deputationists’ cause on May 27, 1946 : “The cause is the cause of the honour of India and through her of all the exploited coloured races of the earth, whether they be brown, yellow or black. It is worth all the suffering of which they are capable”. (CWMG, Vol 84, p. 215).

Gandhi remained in contact also with leading American Black personalities like W E B Dubois. He wrote in Young India on October 14, 1926 about the “injustice that is being daily perpetrated against the Negro in the United States of America in the name of and for the sake of maintaining white superiority.”

theres some interesting comments about it here (its where i got the above quotes from)-
