The Last King of Scotland...

[Colin]

Forrest Whittaker has creeped me out since the Crying Game. I think I will skip this one............

[MacConnachie]

I like some of Whittaker's work, and some of it I found to be not worth the watching. Have never seen "The Crying Game" but do remember the uproar when it first came out.

A little more information on the subject

Saw the movie tonight - absolutely wonderful performance by all the performers!

And there are quite a few kilts in the film - Amin and a Ugandan marching unit are the most memorable (different tartans as I recall). Also some glengarry bonnets; more berets than bonnets, though.

Trying to remember the two Amin sons named in the film - "Mackenzie" and "Campbell" come to mind.

Also a few shots of a Scotland t-shirt.

It's certainly not a good advert for things Scottish, but it is a great film (and has a very beautiful Gillian Anderson featuring prominently in the early portion). It wasn't as bloody or violent as I had assumed from the trailers - and brought back a lot of memories of that era.

Haven't seen the movie but I saw the previews. Seems like it will be a good ol movie.But I will check it out.

Didn't he eat people? Idi Amin, not Forest Whitaker, I mean.

That was certainly one of the allegations - the movie doesn't say, but does revisit the allegation during a press conference.

Amin was a horrible person with a very bad reputation that included rumors of that. One nickname of his I remember was The Ugandan Crocodile.

Whitaker is a fine actor. I am sure he did his research into the man so he could bring Amin to the screen.

I haven't seen it yet but I'm looking forward too it. It looks like it should be good.

In his balcony address I think he referred to the food saying there is no people (in it).
