Are dictators born to be dictators?

I didn't read Amin's family history carefully, but from Baidu, he was also born into a poor family, and through his own efforts stood at the highest point of the social class.

Judging from the movie, Amin was initially loved by the people because he promised to give people a free, peaceful and developed country. When Amin said these words, I believe it was from his heart.

At this time, Amin should still be an ideal and aspiring politician. What makes him a demon?


After watching the film, this is what made me most curious, what was the political system in this country at that time? Why didn't the system avoid such a dictator?

The movie is really good, I recommend it
