Gandhi (1982) movie question?

Nov 29, 2010 by Cosmic Hippie | Posted in Movies

I am doing a report on the movie "Gandhi" made in 1982 and have some questions. After seeing the movie, I was wondering, 1. an example of symbolism of the British Empire 2. What was the source of Gandhi's power? and 3. Why do you think people

1) The salt march. Sea salt was a symbol of both the British Empire (since they taxed Indians for it) and the Indians' independence (Gandhi believed that sea salt was not an ownable commodity and his march culminated by making sea salt by the shore).

Books on the banned wagon

Representing library associations, booksellers, publishers, journalists and writers. That is not to say that the propensity to deem certain books offensive, and thereby restrict their circulation, exists in the US alone.

A quick glance through the list of books banned over the ages and across countries reads like a literary who's who, enough to prompt an aspiring writer to wish to be banned somewhere. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Boccaccio's Decameron and the Arabian Nights have all, at some point, fallen foul of the US's Federal Anti-Obscenity Act on grounds that they were 'lewd', 'indecent' or 'filthy'. Nor has the axe spared John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, James Joyce's Ulysses, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 or JD Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. Over the decade, the Harry Potter series has occupied the top slot in the American Library Association's list of banned books on the ground that it "promotes witchcraft" and that the central character "has no moral arc". Whether your work is cerebral or inspired or popular, someone, somewhere, is surely getting rubbed the wrong way.

Myanmar Times - Jan 01, 1970
Director Maung Myo Min said he “did not like the film”, which he had expected to be “as good as” Richard Attenborough's 1982 biopic Gandhi. “It wasn't satisfying. The film was directed by foreigners, so it lacked the sentiment of Myanmar,” he said.

Manila Bulletin - Jan 01, 1970
He lost the Oscar to Ben Kingsley in 1982 for the latter's role as “Gandhi,” a movie that was ironically first offered to Hoffman. But in “Luck,” it is the first time that the multi-awarded actor is playing such a role as a horse-racing aficionado.
