English Summary:
Gandhi is a 1982 epic historical drama film based on the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the leader of India's non-violent, non-cooperative independence movement against the United Kingdom's rule of the country during the 20th century. The film, a British-Indian co-production, was written by John Briley and produced and directed by Richard Attenborough. It stars Ben Kingsley in the title role.
On 30 January 1948,[8]:18–21 after an evening prayer, an elderly Gandhi is helped out for his evening walk to meet a large number of greeters and admirers. One visitor, Nathuram Godse, shoots him point blank in the chest. Gandhi exclaims, "Oh, God!", and then falls dead.
In 1893, the 23-year-old Gandhi is thrown off a South African train for being an Indian sitting in a first-class compartment despite having a first-class ticket.[9] Realising the laws are biased against Indians, he then decides to start a nonviolent protest campaign for the rights of all Indians in South Africa. After numerous arrests and unwelcome international attention, the government finally relents by recognising some rights for Indians
Hungarian Summary:
A londoni jogi tanulmányok és a dél-afrikai működés után Gandhi 1915-ben tér vissza Indiába, és kezdi meg erőszakmentes harcát az angol uralom ellen. Az angolok erre véres elnyomással válaszolnak, de az erőszakmentes népi mozgalom erősebb: 1947-ben India felszabadul, de Gandhinak nem sikerül a hinduk és mohamedánok közötti egységet megszilárdítani - India kettészakad. 1948. január 30-án, a függetlenség kivívását követően Gandhit egy hindu fanatikus lelövi.
