      @@nevaehlittle4296 It was a while ago now, but he just came across as a self-absorbed know-it-all who considered himself pretty hot stuff. He was new to the country, but walked around with a pompous air, spoke down to people, and even cheated on someone's wife (resulting in her death).
      He hit on every female character whether they wanted it or not, and (despite considering himself a pretty savvy bloke) his naivety led him to admire a dictator and be fooled by his charms. When the expat tried to warn him about this, naturally he knew better. In fact, one of the most satisfying moments of the film was when he needed this character's help and finally got taught a few home truths.
      The moment I started to dislike him was his jarring, feminine scream at the very start of the film (because living in a quiet, loving UK home is _such_ a drag...), and it continued until he got humbled in the last few scenes.

    @squamish4244 8 місяців тому +4

    They had a hard time casting Amin, because they needed a guy who was both terrifying and physically imposing. They couldn't hide the second aspect, because the real Amin was 6'4" and 250 lbs. of pure muscle and everyone he knew always brought up his sheer size as integral to his intimidation factor when they talked about him.
    Whitaker is close to that size, but we usually don't notice it because he generally plays gentle characters. The filmmakers just couldn't see him playing someone so hideous until he went all Method on them and they were impressed. After three or four months of filming, Whitaker said he was glad to be done with Amin because playing someone that utterly depraved was exhausting.

    The ability to act is a mixture of gift and skill (inherent and learned). Good actors have equal parts of both.

      The real-life Idi Amin fancied himself after the Scots, particularly admiring their history of resistance against the British.

  • @Lawrence_619

    I came away from watching this, with a bit of a different slant, maybe. In my opinion "Last King of Scotland" was a horror flick...in the truest sense of the word. There were many things about Amin that were not told in the movie...A LOT. But I think what needs to be known about him, more importantly, is the reality that he was yet another despot who was, Im almost certain, bi-polar. Everything about how he carried himself and how he treated other human beings, was manic and erratic. In the 8 yrs that he ruled over Uganda, he probably had near-half a million people killed. Im not making his mental illness an excuse for him. But we need to understand that NORMAL human beings aren't cooks in the British military ..and then in a few yrs, they're an officer in the British Army, killing other black people in the Shifta War. To say, Amin was unusual is laughable. He was a sick man..
