(drama, history, thriller)
In the early 1970s, Nicholas Garrigan, a young semi-idealistic Scottish doctor, comes to Uganda to assist in a rural hospital. Once there, he soon meets up with the new President, Idi Amin, who promises a golden age for the African nation. Garrigan hits it off immediately with the rabid Scotland fan, who soon offers him a senior position in the national health department and becomes one of Amin's closest advisers. However as the years pass, Garrigan cannot help but notice Amin's increasingly erratic behavior that grows beyond a legitimate fear of assassination into a murderous insanity that is driving Uganda into bloody ruin. Realizing his dire situation with the lunatic leader unwilling to let him go home, Garrigan must make some crucial decisions that could mean his death if the despot finds out.

Life, unlike the bad movies, is rarely evident. In life, murderous
Dictators do not appear - especially in the first - and mustache-spinning
Snidley Whiplash figures, cackling madly (but Mussolini came
Strict). The truth about monsters is that they are afraid of
Tridimensionales beings, not cardboard cut, just kill a bunch of
People, but otherwise put their pants on one leg at a time ,
And I like you, and that makes them much scarier if it came from another planet
.

In the best film of the "gender dictator" by Oliver Hirschbiegel
Shining "Downfall" Hitler appears as a man who is nice to her dog
And his secretary ( more or less in that order), and the impact of work
is all the greater as we are witnessing what a "real person" is capable of
Making. Luis Puenzo "The Official History," the reign of Pinochet
Terror is represented by a single act of violence, is like a door
Pirateado of the hands of Norma Aleandro, the effect is impressive and "Real".

Hands of a less talented director, the story of Idi Amin was
was said against the mountains of skulls and bones left behind by Uganda
Loco ruler in 1970. (His total number of victims is estimated at 300,000.)
Kevin Macdonald complex, intelligent and gripping "The Last King of Scotland
," more than half of the two-hour film subtly implies, The dark forces
tracks below normal, while "life goes on."

And so, after establishing actual contact with the public, a cheerful and
Seductive Forest Whitaker then took our breath away as the mask comes
Outside, and reaches its Amin out on the screen of your throat.

Macdonald - whose previous works are documentaries, including
Oscar-winning "One day in September" on the Olympic Games in Munich
terrorist incident - Amin looks through the eyes of a young Scots
Doctor (James McAvoy), a well-intentioned, honest humanitarian slowly
Seducir by the Scots loving Amin, who appointed him his personal physician
Then adviser.

McAvoy The character is fictional (although Amin did have a Scots
Medical), which comes from the novel by Giles Foden of the same name, but only
Above all else in the film is based on the fact - to the point that
Some images documentary is seamlessly integrated into the film. And yet,
What is more important and prominent about "Last King" is that just as a
Paint can overcome a photograph in the presentation of reality, this film
Transmits seduction and the horror of a brutal dictatorship indirectly
Sutilmente, unexpectedly.

Unexpected - and welcome - there are many flashes of humour, both Whitaker
(Dictador personality) and McAvoy (anxious offspring of a physician
Hiperactivo hormones) make the best of him. The tone is established in
opening sequence, as frustration, the young repressed Dr. Garrigan
ago turn a small balloon oath repeatedly that he will move to the first
Onsite ( " the first! ") that the points where the world stops. The first
Land turns out to be Canada. McAvoy / Garrigan takes a look
Doubt ... And turn again. And so to Uganda ...

Linear, flowing freely from the narrative is masterful, taking us from
small village where Dr Garrigan tries to do good and ends up
Well through a chance encounter with Amin, a Kampala court
much intrigue and debauchery of colors (even as the fate of a nation is at
Game), and finally to Entebbe.

Fun & Games, a veritable landscape (the film was shot in Uganda),
Subtlety, psychology, a heart-pounding scene in Entebbe (
after the abduction, but before that the redemption of Israel), nudity, sex, violence,
Angustiosa question about "what would you do" and all - "Last King"
A wonderful compendium of facts and truths greater. Also, a
hell of a good movie.
Greetings again from the darkness. A real tour de force by Forest Whitaker
... The best performance of the year so far! In some
Mr Whitaker captures the madness and charm of the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.
Amin was one of the first rock stars politician. He used the media to their advantage
His regime sacrificed hundreds of thousands of their
Paisanos.

Also impressive is James McAvoy ( "Chronicles of Narnia"), which plays the
Dramatizados Nicholas Garrigan, a young doctor who provides a
Adventure to make a difference a small country and Counseling
just one of the most powerful madmen of history. Scots
Documentalist Kevin Macdonald directs the film with only a few mistakes
Live, which serve very well this biopic. Amin and watching
Young doctor dive in the shower of power is both
Aterradora and repugnant. Macdonald captures well the spirit of this
Thanks mainly to its willingness to let his two leads do their thing.

As Amin Garrigan laughs and tells him that "You are my closest adviser,"
There can only compare to Kathy Bates telling James Caan (
"Misery") that "I am your number one fan." The madness and evil is
Simply chilling. Whitaker is simply incredible as he flips the switch from
Honey to the media cold-blooded, ruthless murderer ... And then back
Again. Only a magnificent performance and well worth the price of admission
- maybe a couple of times! Good for a laugh is the most
Single Janis Joplin version of "Me and Bobby McGee" that has
never heard ... Guaranteed! See this one for a bit of history and the
site of a true monster, but also for one of the best action films
Never.
