In order to get rid of the unchanging life and work step by step, the young McAvoy, who has achieved academic success, ignored the expectations of his parents and embarked on an adventurous road without hesitation.
In the melodious music, Uganda is shown in front of him, exotic, African style, unrestrained beauty, full of passion, completely different from the dull and monotonous before. Even if the medical conditions are extremely poor, even if there are only a handful of white partners, even if the living conditions are very poor, you can enjoy it. He also flirted with his wife from time to time, but his merciful character also planted the root cause of his troubles later.
In the midst of the storm, McAvoy met Armin in an accidental car accident, and began a wonderful journey. The taste of power makes people lose, especially when the head of state expresses his trust in him, which is unparalleled for a while, making decisions on architectural design, replacing important meetings, and spending recklessly. Isn't this a dream life? For a while, McAvoy even looked at the big man who claimed to be his brother with admiration, and occasionally took revenge on high-ranking government officials who didn't like him, but he didn't expect to bring murder to innocent people. Woe, by this time the bubbles have already started to fade.
A gunshot on the way to the airport made him completely sober, and he was like a tiger with the king. But it is too late to regret, there is only one way to go to the end. At this time, McAvoy's nature was hard to change, and he rolled on the bed with Amin's young wife, and even planted evil seeds, and finally paid the price. Had it not been for the terrorist attack against the Israelis, McAvoy would have been tortured in every possible way and then died in a foreign country.
The film comes to an abrupt end, and the subtitles finally show Amin's ending. Can always feel a little tasteless taste. Originally thought to reveal the true face of the dictator in a profound way, but it was just a touch of water and not much ink. Whittaker's performance is really intriguing. At the beginning, he played with the people, made use of populism, and made promises. It was very confusing, and the audience couldn't help but be puzzled. Until he was assassinated, he no longer covered it up. , killing innocent people at will. But in such a joyous occasion on the beach, he forced people to listen to his performances and made fun of his subordinates. The power without supervision shows the clue that it is difficult to control and elusive, but why there are so many fans, whether it is the soil of Africa or the climate of the world breeds bad results, and whether there is a game of several empires behind Amin. From this point of view, the film is not profound, and even a little curious and pleasant at the beginning, McAvoy's experience is self-inflicted. Perhaps, the reality is far more cruel than the movie. Amin can always be resurrected. The ghost of dictatorship lingers, and the people are easy to be deceived. No matter the past or the present, no matter where in the world, the director is too lazy to write about it.
