- Richard Attenborough winning the Oscars® for Directing and for Best Picture for "Gandhi" at the 55th Academy Awards® in 1983. Presented by Billy Wilder and Carol Burnett and hosted by Walter Matthau.
Interesting how Attenborough and Spielberg later did Jurassic Park.
It was a deal struck at the oscars.
Well, Richard was also an very good actor. Should have been nominated for his work in Séance on a Wet Afternoon. Both he and Kim Stanley were brilliant.
LOL the novel wasn't even written until 1990!
And Gandhis Ben Kingsley was in that years Best Picture Schindler's List
Sir Richard said he always felt bad the Gandhi beat ET for best picture and it was one of the reasons he took the role in Jurassic Park.
Here on Gandhi Jayanti 2019.
I am
I am on Gabdhi jayanti 2022
What a great feeling when they play.... Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram in Oscar 👏
Goosebumps, and Richard worked with satyjeet ray in SHATRANJ K KHILADI
@@abhisheksrivastava5014 thanks for the information bro. I'll watch.
@@ariesabhishek4879 sure bro
Like wading through cement. One of the worst directors in history.
Gandhi is one of the Greatest films ever made, and Sir Richard Attenborough is easily one of the Greatest filmmaker humanitarians born to walk this Earth, because to understand Gandhi completely you have to become a bit of Gandhi, and Attenborough presented Mahatma Gandhi so splendidly.
Gandhi was the last of the cinematic spectacles filmed with a cast of thousands (the extras). Nowadays the "thousands" of extras are CGI generated. Those were the glory days of Hollywood.
Avenger took the words out of my mouth!
What about titanic?
Once in a interview Sir Ben Kingsley said that there were 400'000 people for the filming of the funeral if I heard it right. I think it was in Interview with GQ
@@Areyoumadnott thanks for support
30000 extras were used for kingdom of heaven
Rest in peace, Richard Attenborough. You were such a wonderful person. :(
@Wuhan Virus he died in 2014
@Wuhan Virus his brother
As an Indian, i bow my Head at the feet of this Gentlemen Sir Richard Attenborough... For making this Biopic of Our Father of Nation, Gandhi ji..
To show his ways and struggles to the next generations..
It was a gift to the Indian people for generations..
Thank you sir🙏🙏🙏
It is *Lord* Attenborough, not Sir.
Even if I was not proudly partly Indian still will always admire Mohandus Gandhi
Gandhi is a pedo
Gandhi was a well made movie as the man himself. It deserved because of the idea Richard elaborated, i think, it struck everyone at that point of time.
Sad times are changing...in India we have morons who suggest a temple for Nathuram Godse !
Devamalya Ghosh thats the irony of indian civilization and this chaos leads to evolution of greatest personalities. It is repeating always, so we tolerate and let them exist because ultimately it will help the society to evolve better. With all contradictions coexisting we thrive for better and better. Remember Richard was British as Churchill who wanted Gandhi dead.
Neelabhra Roy Wow! How mature and intelligent your argument is! 😛 LOL!
Wonderful speech by the great Director paying tribute to MAHATMA GANDHI.
Great speech by Attenborough for best film. Profound and eloquent
R.I.P Sir Richard the world has lost a true warm loving human being today, Sir Richards talents knew no bounds but it is for his humility and humanity that i am sure many will remember and miss him.
Sir ??
*Lord* Attenborough, you mean.
Spielberg must have been extremely pissed off in this Oscar ceremony.. E.T is brilliant but Gandhi deserved it more.. a monumental effort..
Ritish Patnaik and I think Das Boot would have finished above ET as well - it’s a masterpiece.
Tears in Attenborough's eyes while mentioning Gandhi.. Really he knows whatever Gandhi gives to whole world is really exceptional and extraordinary
Gandhi is one of my all time favourite top 10-list.
Out of the 4000 movies you've watched?
Mathieu Champagne Get the f out of here
🙋 myself too...
@@ronakmodi7336 out of atleast 2000 movies i ve watched... Gandhi is still my best movie so far! And i can understand your pain.. Modi ji 🤣
@@parthsharma688 lmfao
Billy Wilder presenting-it doesn't get better, what a list of films he had. Richard Attenborough delivered a film that does stand the test of time, IMHO. Gandhi was his dream project, and we learned more about India by watching.
well said
Marilyn E. Jess we Indians learnt more about Gandhi, thanks to Sir Richard Attenborough!
Rest in peace Richard Attenborough.
Rest in Peace Sir Richard you were and always will be a great cinematic icon.....
Yep
Sadly Indians have thrown Gandhi's ideology to dustbin.
Happily, we Indians flushed his ideals into the gutter of divide & rule.
@@jagdishacharya1438 after knowing the facts/history about Gandhi and still you believe so. Then absolutely you are a helpless an illiterate piece of orthodox and believing in violence, massacre, exploitation to make your life worthy. you're kind of people who don't have any principle any ideology to make your life extraordinary that's the only reason you people reckoned as unsophisticated.
@@evergreenoldboy7728 Uff Why the hate? Jagdish was just lamenting on how the political ideology of india has returned to divide and rule. Before the British did this to subjugate Indians, now the profiteering (corrupt politicians and depraved businessmen) are following the same rulebook to subjugate the rest of the Indians. We are going backwards, with our government hellbent on dividing and weaponizing religion to oppress.
@@nidpaul not hate, it's sad to see people still blame him for dividing nations or making divide and rule game in India on any basis. He was not responsible for separation of people on religion, faith basis people like Jinna was the planner of divide and rule because he want to be PM or any leader if India would be independent at that time then he actually believes that he wouldn't become PM if he doesn't play conspiracy tenet of making islamic nation(pakistan) it was the only way he can become PM either way so he and some other people like him was greedy for chairs so eventually they decide to do this and that time Gandhi had no option to condemn he knows that if he do anything regarding separatism it can cause chaos all over the country, extremist of every religion were wanted to be power holder of india.
@@nidpaul Sir can you recommend some reading material that speaks to all sides of Indian society during the independence of India and afterwards? I live in the USA, and if you don't look for yourself you only see what they (government, media, etc.) want you to see. Thank you and peace.
Gandhi has great directing and producing.
Idk why when i found your comment seems really funny
@@hadiputraw8083 it happens with idiotas.....
Richard Atteborough ______ A Class Act!!! Only he could do justice with project called 'Gandhi'.
Rest In Peace Lord Richard Attenborough a true Englishman,God Bless.
Great Speach And Perfect Prononciation.Simply Perfect.
RIP Sir Richard Attenborough 🎩
For me Spielberg's E.T. remains the best, but Richard Attenborough's Gandhi remains one of the most beautiful biopics ever made!
I love both and own both on DVD.
Spielberg's ET was stolen from another writer and never gave him the credit. Steven S. was so lame to admit that.
ET has dated very badly. I find it practically unwatchable today.
the story of ET was copied from the unproduced film "the alien", written and directed by another indian director satyajit ray
@@mahasinhossen2502 Sweet justice that E.T. lost to Gandhi, after the story of E.T. was stolen from an Indian filmmaker.
Richard Attenborough was a good director, but he was an EXCEPTIONAL actor. It's really a shame that he wasn't recognized for his performances in Brighton Rock, Guns at Batasi, Seance on a Wet Afternoon, 10 Rillington Place, and all the other performances he gave that should've been nominated or won.
Michael McCarthy Don't forget 'The Great Escape' and 'Jurassic Park'.
Thank you. I didnt know much about Richard's acting. I will surely watch these movies.
Gandhi is most relevant in this era of violence to bring peace .et also inspired humanity .there could have been a joint oscar for both Spielberg and Attenborough like Nobel prize. Thanks.n.c.rakshit.
ET was robbed
Dats bull
What a speech!
The small details in the movie really blew my mind. Only a person who has read Indian freedom struggle would spot those things.. after mahatma's first speech in India we see a young boy wearing black cap in the crowd..a member of radical Hindu organization.... Or lokmanya tilak sitting beside Jinnah in the same event, not to be seen again since he died shortly afterwards.
It was great humane speech by Richard Attenborough, I love him.
Pffffffffff...Gandhi is an epic movie...EPIC!
And, really, I like E.T......but the best was clearly Gandhi, everyone knew this.
RIP Sir. Thank you for the film. DVD shall stay on my shelf forever.
It's a highly predictable outcome. All those other nominees - strikingly entertaining as they are - up against the story of a simple man and his nation who challenged - via peaceful means - a colonist empire, and won; an inspiration to the World over. Hands down.
Sentimental speech. Really that touched me.
Rohit Jain what a gracious man indeed
Even Attenborough said later that Spielberg and ET should have won.
Richard's words shows the detailed reading about subject/autobiography that he produced and what more is he learned the Gandhi's message and passed it to fellows with his amazing vision. Genius at work
No for Nazi loving conservative Brits.
Gandhi deserved the Oscar - hands down!
Word!
E.t. was a better film
Till today in 2020.. this is the best
"Jesus gave me the strength but Gandhi showed me the way " Martin Luther King Jr
They are both avatars of cosmic masters after all.
Yes, Ben Kingsley was outstanding as Gandhi. He won every award for his performance: Academy Award, Golden Globe, Bafta, etc. Richard truly deserved Best Achievement in Directing, but Best Picture E.T. should have won, like in the Golden Globes that year.
First Robin Williams and now Richard my childhood keeps dying why.
Amazing year- Das Boot, Gandhi, ET. Wow.
I still remembered watching Gandhi in a cinema in Canberra when it was premiered there. I was young student at the Australian National University then in 1983.
After the movie ended, there was a standing ovation by the whole audience throughout the credit rolls.
What a movie experience that was.
E.T. Should have won! One of the worst Oscar snubs in Oscar history!
Gandhi was not able to conquer lust but he was able to conquer the hearts of millions of people in the world.
Brilliant speech by sir Richard at the end. Gandhi was a masterpiece and well deserved Oscar 🤗👍
Gandhi❤️❤️🇮🇳
What a great bunch of films - Das Boot (greatest WWII film ever made), Tootsie, The Verdict, ET and Gandhi which thoroughly deserved the win.
Good but boring. Would've liked "ET" to win Best Picture (even Attenborough said so!) and Wolfgang Peterson for "DAS BOOT" to win Best Director.
1982 was an incredible year for movies. :)
Wat a great speech by an englishman truly touched my soul! gandhi's idea always remain with world..huge respect from a indian girl!
@Mathieu Champagne , there is evidence that the concept of E.T. is plagiarized from Satyajit Ray's work
@Mathieu Champagne Gandhi had corrected himself on his stance on racism. He was wrong and he had corrected himself. Only a great man can do that
@mathieu
How and why. If gandhi was a racist what was winston churchill. A saint!. GTFO
If gandhi was a racist what was Winston churchill and his conservative party . Ultra racist !.
@@agnosticheretic746 of course hell yeah
And in 10 years from then, fellow nominee Steven Spielberg will cast Richard Attenborough in one of his most seminal movie - Jurrasic Park.
and Kathleen Kennedy would become one of the most powerful person in Hollywood
Billy Wilder's opening quip about it's ' better to give then receive....I DON'T BELIEVE THAT " 🤣🤣🤣
I would simply say..."Welcome, to Jurassic Park"
It's hard to believe that Gandhinians in late 70s resisted Sir Richard Attenborough to make this film as they believed that it should be made by an Indian Director and Gandhi should be played by an Indian actor. But thankfully, people involved in the making of Gandhi (1982) movie knew that Gandhi's Biopic is for all the Humanity and shouldn't be confined to only a Nation he freed. It's 2018 and we still didn't saw any better Movie on Gandhiji than this Biopic.
Anyone who says "'E.T.' should have won" literally has no brain.
AlbieHay 40012 Simply no. If you think that Gandhi is better, it is fine, I never even watched Gandhi to be fair to it. But anyone defending E.T. is not crazy. E.T. was a huge hit, conquering audiences over the world and it is more remembered today
Amen brother.
ET is a really good film, but Gandhi is an epic and a lesson in film making. No other film stood a chance that year.
Even Richard Attenborough stated that E.T. should have won over his own film Gandhi. I guess he has no brain.
"I was certain that not only would E.T. win, but that it should win. It was inventive, powerful, [and] wonderful. I make more mundane movies."
--Richard Attenborough
He wanted E.T. to win over his own film. Couldn't he just reject the Oscar?
I disagree, because to me Gandhi was a better film in almost all aspects of film-making. It's all opinion of course, E.T. is a brilliant movie that could have won easily.
It's absolutely tragic to listen to Richard Attenborough talk so passionately and eloquently about 'men of peace' and the dangers we all face if ignoring the great human tragedies throughout history and the lessons that have to be learned and acted upon.....F/F to February 2024 we haven't learned anything indeed through the greed violence oppression of many millions of innocent people across the world we have through misunderstanding intolerance and hate are leading us all into a new dark age...😢😢❤️
Also the Director of Bridge Too Far,
Chaplin and Cry Freedom. I love his speech. Unselfishness exemplified
A Great English Gentleman!
Respect from 🇺🇸
I like that Richard Attenborough gave a shout out to Stephen Spielberg here. Ten years later he was directed by Spielberg in Jurassic Park. RIP Richard Attenborough...
That's David Attenborough... LoL two different people. Brothers
...for those who want to know what was said during the audio gaffe, Sir Richard Attenborough said: ".... honored. But, I would simply say to Sidney Lumet and Sydney Pollack and Wolfgang Petersen and Steven Spielberg, I am honored to be in their company. Thank you very much." Reference: aaspeechesdb.oscars.org/link/055-8/
Thank you, Raj; you're a gentleman.
1983 was one of those rare years ...
of five outstanding director and film Oscar nominations
Damn, that was a great list of directors that year. Still wish Spielberg would have won Director and Picture though. Nothing beats the 'Goodbye' sequence at the end of E.T. Too much perfection.
Richard Attenborough's plea for peace without violence one of the best acceptance speeches ever.
Gandhi was a great film but like Lincoln and There Will Be Blood it's mostly due to Ben Kingsley's performance as opposed to the movie as a whole. E.T. should have won.
Aaa Aab 1. I don’t have a basement.
2. Gaming is one of my things, along with films.
ET should have won both direction and best movie😥💙⭐️
Even the director admits it out loud and was apologetic to Spielberg about it.
Once upon a time when Oscars was politically neutral
I would have loved if Richard Attenborough had also been nominated for Best Director for Shadowlands and for Chaplin.
Thank you Richard for such an effort to spread the ideology of non-violence of Mahatma Gandhi in this world ..... the world really needs it now ....
Spielberg stole Idea of E.T from one of finest Indian director SATYAJIT RAY's story 'THE ALIEN'
MOVIE LOVER That is the first time I have ever heard that and even reading your comment is not only ridiculous, but down right had me laughing out loud!
@@jamesmoyner7499 MAY BE you are laughing because you have gone insane
Search it in GOOGLE NERD !!
I am also a Spielberg fan but it was the fact!!
Wow, this has to be the best Best Director roster of all time! I would have given it to Spielberg, then Petersen, but all were totally deserving of their nominations.
Yeah, '82 seems by all accounts a magnificent year in film. At the very least, it had some of the best genre films of all time.
Ridley Scott is the real master of 1982.
I think blade runner should have won yes I feel that the movie not nominated should win
It really should be a five-way tie. Couldn't agree more.
ET is much better!
A first class film. Attenborough as director doesn’t make it “about him” but about Gandhi.
Mahatma was not perfect to say the least. But I believe that, every now and again, you have a man like that reincarnated to stand up for the oppressed. Gandhi was such a man. Just like Jesys wanted to preach love and harmony. In essence the Mahatma wanted the same. And he did it with dignity.
Ghandi was an incarnation of a cosmic master from Mars. Jesus from Venus. Krishna from Saturn.
I think 1983 is the best year for India: Gandhi has won several Oscars and a cricket world cup the same year
Fun fact: that year was the last time the 2 highest-grossing movies of the year were nominated for Best Picture until this year
Whenever I see this video , I get emotional. Mahatma 🙏
Not To The Dark Crystal Oscar From Best Picture
E.T. Steven Spielberg should have won
The biggest twist is many indians don't know about this
Very inspiring acceptance speech by Attenborough. Great man indeed.
My kids' generation is still a fortunate one having parents like me who have the opportunity and the ease to steer their attention on powerful speeches such as this delivered by gentlemen and mentors like Richard Attenborough. It saddens me to think of a world bereft of such luminous and illustrious models.
That Richard's speech should have get a standing ovation, still human race in rage to find dignity of our existence! #Peace
Richard Attenborough actually wanted ET the Extra-Terrestrial to win Best Picture. Gandhi only won because Columbia Pictures resorted to a VERY dirty tactic during Oscar campaigning, stating that voting against the film was tantamount to voting against Gandhi himself.
Attenborough's words ended up getting him cast as John Hammond in Jurassic Park.
And that's clearly not true.
Spielberg: ".... well, FINE, i'll cast the ol' bastard in Jurassic Park should I ever get it off the ground."
"I never wanted to be a director, I just wanted to direct that film"
Danial day Lewis, Martin Sheen also worked in this movie
Gandhi deserved it whole heartedly. Ben Kingsley gave one of the greatest performances of all time in that film, and Richard Attenborough really did his story justice.
Tough competitors easy verdict 🥊
RIP Richard.. he upset ET at the oscars....
RIP Richard
:(
Carol Burnett presents best picture Oscar, that’s an unusual choice?
Amazing class.with that.speech
R.I.P Mr. Attenborough
:(
Whoa ... what a list for best director! I didn’t know Attenborough produced this film as well. And what an acceptance speech for best producer- few, if any, have been better. Such eloquence.
Sir, absolutely amazing film and your words of praise for Mahatma Gandhi. It's clearly visible you have done a lot of research and the message you wanted to convey to the whole world through this film.
Rest in Peace Sir Richard
This speech from attenborough on Gandhi is so good, came to revisit this moment. Thanks & Love to him for inspiring us through his creation.
Rest In Peace...
Years ago I was in a room of four guys and two girls getting high, one of the guys resembled Ben Kingsley but I forgot his name and I said, you look like Gandhi, everyone burst out laughing and after a few moments I noticed the guy looking furious, he tried to attack me before storming out,
Now every time I see or hear Ben Kingsleys name or face this incident comes to mind
