Synopsis

The screenplay of Gandhi is available as a published book. The film opens with a statement from the filmmakers explaining their approach to the problem of filming Gandhi's complex life story:
“No man's life can be encompassed in one telling. There is no way to give each year its allotted weight, to include each event, each person who helped to shape a lifetime. What can be done is to be faithful in spirit to the record and to try to find one's way to the heart of the man...”

The film begins with Gandhi's assassination on 30 January 1948, and his funeral. After an evening prayer, an elderly Gandhi is helped out for his evening walk to meet a large number of greeters and admirers. One of these visitors - Nathuram Godse - shoots him point blank in the chest. Gandhi exclaims, "Oh, God!" ("Hē Ram!" historically), and then falls dead. The film then cuts to a huge procession at his funeral, which is attended by dignitaries from around the world.

Synopsis

This movie is ideal for a calm and tender evening with a cup of cacao in the hand, on the sofa in a company of close friends. Or maybe alone.

You won't be surprised and astonished by the creativity of the scenario. The movie has a simple plot, but still it's worth seeing, because it's not the fabula that will move you but the relationship and emotions of a man who is stuck in the body of a 14 years old boy.

While watching I felt a lump in the throat several times. I think that this movie will touch those who don't live with their parents right now and especially those who remember difficulties in relationships with his old folks. It was a discovery for me when I remember that we didn't talk that much with my Dad and I know so little about him.

I would say no more. I'm just sure that you will enjoy the pictures from the movie. It's 60ies, and remind me of "Le Petit Nicolas". They are much alike in their colors. But have totally different mood.

Synopsis

Jeremy Reed (Sean Patrick Flanery), whose nickname is Powder, is an albino who has incredible intellect and is able to sense the thoughts of the people around him. Jeremy's brain possesses a powerful electromagnetic charge, which causes electrical objects to function abnormally when he is around them, as well as when he becomes emotional. The electrical charge also prevents hair from growing on his body. Jeremy's mother was struck by lightning while pregnant with him; she died shortly after the strike, but Jeremy survived. His father disowned him shortly after his premature birth, and he was raised by his grandparents. Jeremy lived in the basement and worked on their farm but never left their property, learning everything he knew from books. He is taken from his home when his grandfather is found dead of natural causes. Jessie Caldwell (Mary Steenburgen), a child services psychologist called in by Sheriff Doug Barnum (Lance Henriksen), takes him to a boy's home because he is now effectively a ward of the state.
