There is not only one world on earth

After work last night, I rushed to the Italian Embassy to watch the screening of the EU Film Festival, the British film the last king of Scotland,

which is a film I have been admiring for a long time, and won the Oscar for Best Actor that year. Due to the special subject matter, it's hard to imagine how I would have had the opportunity to see it if it wasn't for this film festival. Thanks.

The film is more shocking towards the end, removing the veil of mystery, revealing the bloody evil and horrific cruelty of reality. However, as a person of colour, I understand Armin's last words to the Scottish doctor. You, you think that coming to the backward wilderness is a game, no, your death will tell you that this is not a game. Although this ending is very extreme, the "Mr. Butterfly" I watched before has a similar meaning. White superiority feels fooled and challenged, even denied. civilization? behind? Who is the master of this world? There is not only one world on earth.

The cruelty of dictatorship, the extinction of human nature, etc., were similar in mainland China more than 30 years ago. So I think this film must be different from the Chinese people's perception of this film in the eyes of Westerners. It's a pity that we only organize movie viewings, and there is no exchange meeting. Otherwise, a room full of people from all over the world gathered in Beijing to talk, there must be a wonderful collision.

When I came back and flipped through the film information, I learned that after the hijacking incident that the doctor used to escape to heaven at the end of the film, there was a more exciting military operation - the Entebbe operation. Looking at the text description, I already feel thrilling and nervous. In the future, I must watch movies based on this theme.

    In the end, Nicholas leaned against the window of the plane with scars on his face, thinking about the excitement when he first arrived in Uganda. It was really embarrassing that JM's role was too embarrassing, and he was tortured to death, adding points to the two people's acting skills.

    I don't know this history, I think the actor's acting is really good
