I have planned to post the "scenes I loved" in my blog.I would be posting similar blogs under the title "Scenes I loved" . To start with I have chosen the scene from the movie Gandhi.
Here the movie maker's requirement is to show how Gandhi convinced the enslaved and angry Indians in south Africa to take up non violence. And yeah..all these in 5 minutes!!
This scene is the base , the scene should explain the intensity of the concept i.e ahimsa on which the whole movie is to be built.
The challenge couldn't have been executed more perfectly. The dialogues couldn't have been written better ...awesome acting from Ben Kingsley ....couldn't beleive in this get up that he is a non Indian ..the direction , screen play ..and the crowd ..every one in the crowd acts ....
" I am asking you to fight against the anger , not to provoke" and "We cannot lose. They can torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then, they will have my dead body. Not my obedience" are awesomely written and perfectly delivered.....
A old guy slowing getting up after Gandhi's speech looked little sentimental ..which I think could have been avoided :-) ...
I attended a personality development class sponsored by my company 3 years back...this scene was shown in that class as an example for good communication and leadership qualities....
