Stratch mark The last king of Scotland

Posted by: daddy415 on: January 12, 2010

My cousin Daniela let me borrow this movie called the Last King Of Scotland.I watched it because i remember it was a stretch mark if we seen it. When i seen the front cover of the movie i thought it was going to take place in Scotland and it was going to be about the king that died.On the front cover was a african American man.I wasn’t expecting the movie to be very good, but i actually liked it. The movie takes place in Africa.the main character is Idu Amin. He moves to Uganda to get rid of his father.I didn’t like the way they treated each other.I am a very sentimental person and i stareted crying at times.There wasn’t really nothing scottish about the main character.Idu Amin found out that one of his wives was cheating on him with his friend Nick Garrigan that is a physician. She got pregnant by nick and went to the clinic to get an abortion.garrigan loses faith in Amin.Kay gets prgnant with Garrigans baby. They said that if it was Amin baby she would get killed.She tells GArrigan if she could get an abortion.There was a hijacked Air france aircraft and Garrigan and Amin rush to the scene.garrigan gets brutally beaten by Amins people.President Amin discovers that Garrigan had a sexual relationship with his youngest wife.The sad part was when they hung garrigan from the chest. Whitaker played Idi Amin in the movie.I thought his performance was good.The movie was very intense at the end because of what happened to the physician.This reminds me of thewe were reading in class “in the time of the butterflies” because of all the dictatorship and how the sisters got killed.the same way how the Physician got killed by the king.The king reminds me of Trujillo.I would recommend this movie to people.
