Amin, who plays "The Last King of Scotland", is a black actor Frist Whitaker. Because this film won the best actor in the Orsay, I want to say a sincere word:
"Mr. Whitaker, even if you The general’s medal of honor is covered all over. In my heart, it’s the soldier who talked about frogs and scorpions to Fergus in "Crying Game". "
Although time has passed, a person, a dynamic character, is absolutely not Will be buried. This statement is very political and official. In fact, it is also applicable to another actor in "The Last Dictatorship", James McAvoy.
My first impression of James came from "The Chronicles of Narnia". It seems that I almost completely forgot the content of that film, except for this cute little "goat man".
It is impossible to imagine that in "The Last Dictatorship", the man of sheep turned into Nicholas, a Scottish doctor. He was obviously quite lustful. When he first arrived in the interior of Uganda, he ganged up with a strange black female passenger, and later offered his hospitality to the doctor’s wife Sarah. In the face of external troubles, I still did not forget to communicate with the president’s wife Kay. In the end, the double hook passed through the chest and flew straight to Paris without death. God, I don’t know who he is going to harm the girl after he recovers.
But one thing to be clarified is that he is really good, and he over-fulfills the task brilliantly.
Choosing to go to Uganda because of a moment of enthusiasm is both vanity and adventurous anticipation. However, politics is not a game, nor does it mean tolerance and love. In front of the majesty of the scepter, Nicholas not only plays the role of the president's personal doctor, but also suffers from his foreign status. As the Amin regime exposed its more and more brutal side, Nicholas began to fall into a double crisis of morality and dignity. Whether to stay in Uganda or return to his native Scotland gradually became a serious question of life and death, and he finally Regain self in the test.
Confidence, arrogance, doubt, self-blame, and sentimentality will inevitably lead to atonement. This is also the meaning of the continuous enrichment of the role that James brings.
PS: Don't watch "The Last Dictatorship" before or during the meal. The horrifying "Thighs and Arms" (Kay's Death) footage in the film will be extremely uncomfortable.
