One of the clearest examples of true power in film comes from Gandhi (1982). There’s a powerful scene where Gandhi organizes peaceful resistance against British colonial rule. Instead of meeting violence with violence, he and his followers choose nonviolent protest—knowing they may be beaten, jailed, or worse. Gandhi’s calm refusal to retaliate, even in the face of brutality, shifts the moral ground. His power doesn’t come from force—it comes from discipline, presence, and integrity. That moment shows true power as: - Choosing response over reaction - Standing rooted in values, even under pressure - Inspiring change not by controlling others, but by embodying truth Some other great movie examples: Black Panther: When T’Challa chooses mercy instead of revenge against his cousin Killmonger at the end, he demonstrates that power isn’t domination—it’s the courage to lead with compassion. Moana — Facing Te Kā: Instead of fighting the lava monster, Moana approaches with compassion, singing: “This is not who you are.” She restores Te Fiti. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: Harry chooses not to kill Professor Quirrell even when encouraged by Voldemort. His ability to resist hatred becomes his greatest strength. What are some examples that you can think of?
