The Last King of Scotland

Inspired by true events. About a scottish doctor who travels to Uganda and in an moment of audacious action, he became the the personal physician and confidante of the President, Idi Amin ( 1971 to 1979 ) who killed an estimated 300,000 and have strong ties with the PLO.

Doctor Garrigan was so fasicinated about his new position and ties with the President but as time goes by, he knew about this savagery and the how he was implicate into all the shit. In addition, this xiao kia got involved with one of the President's wife ... Win Liao !!!

Whitaker's performance as the President was quite intriguing, his sudden change of facial expression and tone dictates how erratic he was. Interestingly, the movie show few scenes where he was wearing numerous medals on his uniform which was altered to fit that many medals.

And he gave himself many titles and the radio would read out "His Excellency Al-Hadji Field Marshal Dr. Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, CBE, Life President of the Republic of Uganda" ... Win oredi

Think doze off a couple of time during the 2 hr+ movie ... was a midnight show

Moment of the movie :

Definitely will be the scene at the airport where Amin wanted to kill doc, literally hooking him up and hanged him. But somehow, another doc saw it and managed to save him. And he fled with the rest of the hostages in a plane out of Uganda.
