(I'm not tired of watching Yimei.) I rarely watch movies with blacks on the screen and the background is near Africa. This experience gave me a very novel and surprising experience.
The lens of this film is very unstable. I feel that many of them are hand-held cameras. There are also many push-pull lenses that seem abrupt at first glance. I am very impressed, because this way of moving the lens usually does not make people feel too comfortable. I got used to it, but then I felt it was just right-it can reveal a more disturbing feeling when used on a person with such uncertainties as the protagonist, and on the side and even the country affected by him.
The music is very good, and the traditional folk customs with African characteristics also have some British national colors. The bright and cheerful before Armin came to power and the dark and tense after that contrasted well.
Two points about the film itself are the most concerned about the actors.
Whitaker deserves the best actor award for this film, especially when compared with the real Amin at the end of the film, I feel a little confused. Whitaker profoundly interprets this uncertain and gradually brutal dictator - of course What I want to say here is that I read a lot of film reviews and A Ming’s related profiles before watching this film. The film’s evasive portrayal and some changes to A Ming are purely regarded as works of art, so “interpreting the role” is only limited to Amin portrayed in this scene. A tyrannical and arrogant eldest child, because of his own willfulness caused a bloody storm, but he desperately longed to be understood and recognized. He was thirsty for popularity and power. After experiencing hard times, he became nervous and suspicious. (I didn't expect the real Amin to burp for so long...)
I didn't expect that Yimei was already 26 when she appeared in this film... It really looks like someone who was just 20... And I don't think Whitaker crushed the light of Yimei's character, but instead I feel that Yimei's character forms a contrast or even opposition to Amin, and it also has a certain reflection on the issue of race. The growth process of this character is full and even cruel. A young man who has not experienced the sophistication came to Ukanda, where he was unfamiliar with life and even politically turbulent. By accident, he could have a deeper and deeper bond with the leader of a country—compared to that ordinary white doctor and his wife. From being agile and fearless, to the remorse and fear after seeing all kinds of atrocities, to the meaningful look in his eyes after finally escaping, this young doctor's "adult ceremony" is really cruel. Every one of Yimei's films can give me a higher understanding of him and a deeper addiction to his face... It's really hard for him to play such a scumbag role with a face like his. hate it...
Armin treats Nicholas, thinking about it, he really regards him as a pet that he loves but can sacrifice at any time, and gives him the greatest connivance before touching his bottom line and encroaching on his power. This fiction is a bit ridiculous... Getting a doctor to bid and participate in various meetings like a beautiful white dog and calling it a friend... He said that Nicholas loved him, tried to brainwash him to keep him, more and more inconsistencies, The moody time is more and more, and the fear in Nicholas' eyes is gradually deepening. He is more and more aware that the charismatic leader he is accompanying is completely different from the charismatic leader he thinks, and that he will live with him in the rest of his life. More and more like walking on thin ice.
The black doctor is a completely positive image. Medical ethics makes him willing to fight against everything. He is desperate to save Nicholas before he is dying. He not only wants to save people, but also wants to try his best to save this fragile country.
All in all, it's a really good movie, and the acting skills contributed by each actor are wonderful.

The part about Nicholas wanting to go home and looking for Amin.
After entering the door, Amin was sitting on the sofa. After thinking, Nicholas said that Amin said you respected me because I was straightforward. The camera shot was very unstable, and the camera turned to Amin and it was stable. Then it turned to Nicholas and talked about Wojwo. At this time, the shot became slightly shaky again, and at this time, the shot that was turned to Amin to see Nicholas getting up began to shake slightly again, and then the shots given by the two people were slightly wobbly. , while Nicholas's relative became more stable, Amin began to waver relatively again, he said not to let Nicholas go, Nicholas was shocked. This passage makes me think it is very clever to show the constant changes in the hearts of the two people - Nicholas's nervousness, the composure to find the entry point of his speech, and he was shocked by Amin's words; Amin's composure and oppression, gradually became angry when he heard Nicholas's words It's really easy to notice more details on the footage on a few more shots, as opposed to getting out of control.
