This film was released in 2006. Five years later, I discovered this film on a summer evening. I have never followed the trend very much, so don't be surprised.

The first time I heard about this movie was a colleague told me about it. A colleague told me in an almost erotic way, "A college student graduated from Scotland, not wanting to live the life his father planned for him, and then turning the globe to decide where to go, he finally chose Uganda. After arriving in Uganda, he fell in love with a doctor's wife, but unsuccessfully, he took the third wife of the President of Uganda ", I probably only remember so much.

After reading it, I was stunned. It has nothing to do with eroticism. Leaving aside Nicholas's "deviant" for the time being, the trip to Uganda is a life-and-death experience. He thinks that the Amin he knows is a good president, at least he has great ambitions to build the country. However he was wrong. There have been many people who have given him hints or suggestions, and the illusions have confused his eyes. For this he also entered the "office".

After reading it, I reminisced for a while, and the biggest feeling was: there are all kinds of illusions around us, some people and some things, you don't understand at all, you think you understand, but you don't. Maybe it's only when you get hurt and get hurt that you know, "Oh, that's how it turns out."

Thinking of what a friend told me, we'll fall into someone else's "game" if we're not careful, and the way out is Be careful in your words and deeds, be prepared, and plan for the worst!
