Forest Whitaker, who plays Armin in the film, won the 79th Academy Award for best actor with his stunning performance.
At the end of the movie, Nicholas said to Amin: "you are a child, that's what makes you so fucking scary."

Amin was very poor as a child. After his father died, Amin joined the British colonial army. After being humiliated, he made a fortune. If it weren't for the tyranny that followed, Amin would have been an inspirational example.
Armin said in the movie, "who put me here, it was the British."
No one can escape the mark of growing up. Tough as Amin is no exception. Poverty and humiliation in his early years made Amin capricious and self-willed. Everything he did was to make himself more independent, more POWER, and more free. So he killed all the opposition parties, eradicated everything that was contrary to his own ideas, and made all kinds of unimaginable and appalling actions. To find the kind of "absolute freedom" in your mind.
But he still backfired. He is nothing but a "clown" controlled by desire. True freedom should be the complete freedom to control one's own desires. Amin couldn't do it. Who can?
When I watched "The Last Dictatorship" again, I thought of Huang Guangyu. Although one is the president and the other is the richest man. But if you know the background of the two people, you can still find the similarities between the two. There has been a lot less news about Huang recently, but it is estimated that it will not end well.
In the movie, Amin said to Nicholas: "you have never been poor." Imagine how humble and weak Amin was at that time, and how eager to enjoy the "flowery world" in front of him. But that's how you were born, what can you do if you don't resist?
Most "self-made" people have difficulty getting rid of something resembling original sin. Mencius said that the heaven will give a great responsibility to the people of this country, and he will surely. . . . . . . . . But how can people who have experienced such hardships maintain a pure heart.
Once the power is in their hands, guess how they use it.
Here is a quote from a previously popular signature. "If I'm a hooligan, please remember that I was innocent."
This commemorates the once picturesque president and richest man.
