@ZeroSixtyFive The story that he eat human flesh was made up by western reporters. Amin never eat flesh, acounts have proven it never happened. The truth is not a myth
To all the people who think this is funny/silly: A very important thing to understand about this film is that all through the history of Idi's rule he plays up to his plebeian (poor/common people) background to be a populist... he acts like a "traditional country man from the bush". Stalin and Gaddafi did the same thing, in order to justify power. It would be like the USA having a president who went to college or was a professional but talks like a poor working class country bumpkin.
Nice movie. Hard to find obscure VHS film - a lot like "Stalin" made by HBO (make sure you see that too). This film is about a great tragedy that befell the people of Uganda. This film was made by the neighboring country that finally got rid of Amin.
@IHS7 If saying in personality wise. Hitler was charismatic and a strong speaker and Göring was fat and charismatic and Goebells was like Hitler but really sly in lies and also charismatic and a good speaker.
@shussey100 You obviously don't know who Göring or Goebbels was. If you knew who they were you would agree with me and notice they were similar to Idi Amin.
Idi Amin wasn't perfect, but he deserves credit for standing up to Israel and standing against western Imperialists. Like Mugabe though, standing against the west insures your name will be besmirched and tarnished... but there are some Democrats like Cynthia McKinney who are willing to stand up for justice.
I kno this was written from a western/indian perspective, but 500,000 dead is still half a million ppl dead. And for those who are claiming he was standing up to the bigots, need a history check. Amin was a huge bigot, he slaughtered countless villages cuz they were of a different ethnicity. Regardless of the politicals behind the wall and who was pulling the strings, Amin was a tyrant who had 500,000 ppl perish equaling the losses the UK took in WWII in about the same time span; Amin=500,000d
Idi Amin was not the nicest of men. As for white folks, my ancestors are a mixed bunch, but they were all poor at the time of slavery, and worth less than slaves to the greedy rich folks. Slavery was perpetrated not by one race to another, but by the chiefs of both races to their brother man, These rich families still have power, and manage to get the poor to divide and blame each other for what they continue to do.
In short not the white folk to blame, the rich folk to blame, of all colours.
@makkool Nope, it's still the rich of all races abusing the poor of all races, and contemporary writers on povery at the time from Robert Carlysle to William Corbett support the idea that, in Britain at least, the poorest white people were allowed to starve as having no value at all.
As for calling me a coward, I suppose I should ignore that from a cowardly internet bullying fuck like yourself.
so u mean to tell me that u suggest or even man can b god in deciding the universal faith of their on kind just for power and superiority,how cruel can u b well what can i expect from a follower of hitler like i said earlier go join him in hell bastard.
His voice is much to low pitch. The real Idi Amin had a very dark bass. And he also had a totally different face, not so round and baby like. How could that happen? Haven´t the filmmakers thought about what they did?
@Slaviccommie (laughs) You know, Amin was crazy enough to do something like that. He had a little Nero in him for sure. If the filmmakers had gone to Saudi Arabia to try to talk Amin into playing himself in a movie I'll bet they would have had some chance of convincing him. No joke.
@VitoPossilipo They made him look ridicilous and without any laughs and smiles, and in the same way put some blurry racism" against the ugandian people, like they all was cuckoons without brains.
Thanks for uploading this classic I used to watch this film in the barracks in Nigeria and watched it during 2 coups it brings back memories of the African Nationalist movements that are nearly all gone.
