  • I wonder why did these white people loves to exploit black people?

  • I didn't know James McAvoy had such a prominent role in this film. Guess I will be seeing this movie later...

  • they made a movie about him in Uganda its much better. i mean the camera might not be as good but the story is definitely more realistic and tells more.. except it wasn't about the white guy it was more about the reign of terror idi amini brought.

  • first Idi amin was like : "u are british!" >:( the guy was like : "i am scottish" then idi amin was like "SCOTTISH ? why u didn't say so?" :D

  • Why is it called The last King of Scotland when its about africans it makes no senes

  • @andrewjflemming Amin gave himself a bunch of phoney and bogus titles throughout his rule, when the last British ambasadors left in '77 Amin gave himself the title CBE=Conqueror of British Empire thus making him a King of Scotland

  • @andrewjflemming cause the guy was a raging nutjob that thought as himself as the king of scotland and other crap

  • excellent movie !

  • Um... Scotland is part of Britain... Lol

  • @TheChowie yes you fucking retard. so is northern ireland and wales.

  • @vxphsycoxv lets not forget england! :)

  • @vxphsycoxv That is what i am saying you twat. in the film he is asked if he is British and he says im Scottish. and before you go calling people a retard you should really look it up yourself because N Ireland is not part of Britain, it is part of the UK Retard

  • @TheChowie SCOTLAND IS THE BEST!  ENGLAND IS SHIT :)

  • @vxphsycoxv

    If Scotland is so great, we all better pack up and migrant into your lovely country. Wouldn't that just be the swell? Stupid self righteous bastard.

  • @MyMayPeX HAHA thats funny. but don't come here, there are to many third world fuck heads like yourself ok ;)

  • @vxphsycoxv

    Third world? I live right next door to your so called amazing country. Just for you though, I think I will come and piss all over it.

  • Idi Amin was a great man... Fuck Judeo-American cheap propaganda!

  • Forrest Whittaker completely deserved the oscar... but James Mccavoy not even nominated for best supporting actor? (Even though he kind of technically was the main character) Anyways, great film.

  • What kind of hat is Amin wearing during his speech?

  • @Wormtail96 Its called a wedge. the air force wears them in canada, us and britain but in other places the whole military wears them.

  • I watched this movie and thought Forest Whitaker must of got the Academy Award for his performance otherwise the world is demented. I was relieved to find that he did get best actor for this role. Absolutely brilliant!!!

  • Ju want too kil mee??!!!

  • that movie give the message that the western(especially these liberal europeans) should dont wait much with stupid bureaucracy and answer dictators like this with their own brutality cause they just understand this bloody language!

    more waiting more bureaucracy more innocent deaths

    wee see that like in rwanda 1994 and bosnia 1995 too!

  • @Ulansananelan We Europeans were the ones who new what was happening and we tried to warn the world but "liberal" Americans didn't want to listen.Europeans have helped on any way possible...the rest of the world was acting like nothing is going on...before you look stupid like right now read few history books and get some education if you haven't got one in school!

  • Comment removed

  • @Ulansananelan And your answer is: impose "order" from the same colonial powers that began these regimes in the first place. Mighty "white" of you. Look at the history of Europe, the history of that part of the world is innundated with warlords, coups, brutal battles and wars and brutal dictators and wars over religion. You can keep that conservative "white man's burden" stupidity.

  • @EvilKorbinDallas

    If you Muslims didn't took Europe on the middle ages when you were strong, you can't take it know.

    In fact today's Muslims are a disgrace to the old powerful empires you once had.

    Stop living in the past. or you will be forgotten.

    NWO!

  • @delukard Hahah its very easy, we are doing it without swords and guns, we are outnumbering you via birthrates (: You white shits will be extinct soon because of not having enough children, we are outnumbering you in the hospitals of births hahahahahahahaha

  • @EvilKorbinDallas Lmao,really? Well, let me enlighten you a little bit there little boy. Birth rates mean absolutely nothing unless the children SURVIVE. Muslim and third world countries have the highest infant mortality rates in the world due to your lack of actual technology and health regulations. So you outnumbering every other race is pretty much impossible. Btw, America or even England, if they so chose could wipe out the middle east. But that would be cruel, not to mention tedious.

  • @delukard You're nothing but a hate-filled troll with no purpose, get lost.

  • Have this movie. One of my favorites! Very good movie. Got me interested in IDI AMINI. No he's not a great man but dictators/villians are interesting to study and see why are they that way etc. Whitaker did an amazing job.

  • Idi Amin indeed had a strong accent. Forest Whitaker did a great job doing his voice and acting in this role. I AM SURROUNDED...BY TRAITORS!! THE BRITISH SAY, I AM A MADMAN!! AND THE AMERICANS, I AM A CANNIBAL!!! THEEESSSE.....ARE LIES!!! What a great performance.

  • it's an amazingly acted movie.. it gave me goosebumps, but it also made me feel sick.

  • i like that film

  • Love this movie. Forest Whitaker is a great actor.

  • Dont worry, Irish and Scots will be extinct by the end of the century and Muslims will take over your lands soon enough. Shove your Kilts and your bagpipes up both your arses and prepare to read the Quran.

  • @EvilKorbinDallas im muslim i dont want to take over scotland!

  • @halo4019 Don worry, by mass immigration, and higher birthrates then the scots. You definatly will.

  • @EvilKorbinDallas canada has the same problem

  • @EvilKorbinDallas i'm a muslim and your words are disgrace to me

  • @niebells don't worry, he's just a terminal prick.

  • @EvilKorbinDallas Or the IDF can blast your legions back to the Stone Age.

  • @EvilKorbinDallas Irish and Scots have had bigger 'enemies' than Muslims before and haven't become extinct. Also Scotland and Ireland hardly get any immigrants compared to England and the USA. I live in Scotland and hardly know any Muslims in my area and the ones I do know are not trying to 'take over'. lol

  • "British" "Scottish!"

    Lol Geography failure.

  • @MrStig691 The real guy this film was based on,was actually English.

  • @MrStig691

    not really as some Scots dont consider themself "British" and would be actually offended if you call them that way...

  • "You have grossly offended your father"

  • What an amazing film. One of the best films I have seen..

    Forest Whittaker really gave an excellent performance as Idi Amin, accurately showing how the layers of charisma were peeled away to reveal the insane, paranoid dictator he truly was.

    Also interesting to think that Idi Amin and Colonel Gadaffi were allies, especially towards the end of Amin's rule.

  • Best film of 2006. It was fascinating to watch Idi Amin's inner circle go from intellectuals and diplomats at the beginning of the film to mindless goons and thugs by the end of the film.

  • I can´t remove from my head that scene when they show his dead wife !!!

  • Amin was the biggest liar of all time " I am

    You" when he said that it was well you get

    My point

  • Be sure to check out "The Rise and Fall of Idi Amin", here on youtube.

  • OMG I know right away I will ship amin and nico!!! lol

  • This was a good movie, and if I ever can, will get it on DVD.

  • Movie was a monster, damn they don't make pictures like these no more

  • @Adriangrosvenor I do not understand why some of the best movies.....I mean academy awards nominated/winning & critically acclaimed movies, often do not make a lot of money. This movie for example: Budget US$6 million -

    Box office US$48,362,207

    That is nothing compared to many movies. With all the positive reviews and critical acclaim, awards, etc, you would think it would have earned considerably more money. Oh well. I loved the movie & have watched it 4 times already.

  • @gjc82071 Because people are stupid. Your average film goer wants to see braindead action, and brilliant movies like this just get pushed to the side.

  • I remember Amin. The stories that came out of east Africa at the time were simply terrifying. After he was gone, the truth was even more so. Forrest Whitaker deserves ten oscars for the way he portrayed a madman's hair-trigger temper.

  • @marginallymental: 20 oscars. emanation of power and dark energy.

  • That black guy is really scary!

  • @XcrazyX10: who scary? Whitaker?! he is not scary, he is HOT!

  • @MalvinaOrlova He is so power-hungry in this movie. Scary! ;p

  • @XcrazyX10 racist

  • @WKaliberr Idiot.. My best friend is black.

  • This is not the first movie that I saw with Whitaker, but after this role I think I fell in LOVE with him, honestly.

  • Last King of Scotland = Queen of England.

  • @umhalil Guess You are not from Africa. Leaders like this, are still very active in africa. Idi Amin is a monster. AFRICAN HITLER. Was a living Demon, more than 300,000 dead during his reign. ( And those are the ones they can count)

  • Comment removed

  • This is my nightmare, being chased by a mad African Dictator.

  • no spoiler at all, far from it, why are you speaking bullshit?

  • professor X?

  • This trailer is kind of a spoiler lol

  • Forest Whitaker was absolutely stunning there.

  • forest whitaker well deserved his oscar for this role!! So amazing how as an american he travelled to central africa and learned the accent culture and everything! great actor! great man!!!

  • OMG, professor X :D

  • hello fellow scottish people. This is pretty disturbing but have you seen the video on youtube: The Hollie Greig Scandal by Robert Green. This is a huge cover up in scotland and if you are scottish you owe it to your heritage to watch it. even if you arent scottish you should still watch it. thumbs up this comment so that other people can see it as well.

  • aaahh james mcavoyyy

  • @sierraaawrr

    why such an stupid comment is toprated?!

    i thought teenagers rather watch some hannah montana film

  • ive been volunteering in uganda for a couple months...i started a blog that includes tons of pics and discusses the various obstacles and challenges that i see in this country. i also include a healthy dose of humour. google "bedroom-culture tumblr blog" and it should pop up.....im always appreciative of feedback! i also include tons of music and movie interests

  • 0:33 a jamie foxx look alike

  • "This is the kind of man a president needs around him..a mind reading mutant." :D

  • I had no sympathy for that boy. You don't just go over to another country and become somebody's doctor without looking at their history and it wasn't like he was forced at first; he could of easily made up some excuse about the intentions of his travel- and especially not sleeping with other peoples wife's such as the presidents.

  • @Dolphidood Doctor's are made to swear a hypocratic oath whereby they are meant to help any patient in need of medical attention - despite that patient's background. In addition to this, the Scottish boy didn't actually know the Ugandan president was a homosidial maniac - and neither did the rest of the world for a while, because Amin seemed so idyllic in terms of publicity. That's the whole point of the film...

  • @SiouxsieTheCure darrghh actually there are many points of view about the point of the film and the most view points a film covers the better that film seems to be as it meets more audience. Yes but this patient wasn't always in need of medical attention otherwise he may as well have stayed at home and looked after his dad waiting for something to happen. People with half a brain don't just liaise with people that have a lot power. If all else fails you gotta admit the cheating was pretty stupid

  • eat my enemies? i eat chicken

  • Great movie, probably a great book, but be advised that much of this movie is fictional or based on rumors.

  • @IntenseAngst Are you Serious Mate. The name is "IDI AMIN DADA"

  • just seen James McAvoy in my local Waitrose here in London.. strange when I commented on here 2 days ago about backward Uganda......

    weird !

  • uganda is such a mentally backward country full of bigots and idiots

  • @sweetypie000 so is every country in europe...nothing new.

  • i prefer the scottish over the english any day

  • @murphyhurtme i think everyone does lol... scottish are just way more badass

    

  • This movie scared me to death.

    Remind me not to go to Africa... scariest place in the world

  • @NewOrleansboii Come on, you really think all of Africa is a scary place? It is a beautiful continent, sometimes with bad leaders, but their live some good, warm people 

  • @bestman444 It is the most dangerous continent in the world, dangerous wildlife, virus outbreaks, genocides, terrible murderer leaders, you name it, Africa's got it!

  • @inthecards21 You can find all those things also in Europe, Asia, North and South America and in Oceania. It's over the top and short-sighted to say that a whole continent is dangerous, while these things only happen in a few places.

  • @bestman444 I'm having a hard time remembering the last genocide or ebola outbreak in North America. As a full continent, it is the most dangerous to live in. I realize that these things don't happen on every square inch of the continent, but overall Africa would be a tough place to live

  • @inthecards21 True, but I don't remember the last obesity epidemic in Africa.

  • @JoeyLemons06 I'm talking overall it is the most dangerous continent, it has the lowest life expectancy of any continent. I can't believe this is even an argument

  • @NewOrleansboii there are films which make england and america look scary yet people still go there grow a pair u pussy

  • Simply, Brilliant

  • the man looks so sick, as always :|

  • Hey did you guys notice Forest Whitaker never said one curse word in the movie? Here is a guy killing his own ppl but doesn't say bad word...just a thought.

  • @lilze96 Africans aren't big on cursing, when they're more traditional and religious, at least that applies to all of my family

  • great film

  • i watched idi amins documentaries and there is no way he spoke full of energy and inspiration as shown in the move. Whittaker looks nothing like Amin only from the stomache as a fatman pehaps.

  • @vrz07 Most of the stuff in the film - some of it was fictional. What you see is what he was like off camera, he isn't going to exactly go all bipolar on camera in interviews.

  • GILLY!

  • was he really that obsessed about the scots?

  • @britishconqueror he thought he was the re encarnation of a great scotish king

  • you know they are thinking of getting mcavoy to be tetsuo in the remake of akira. i don't know, as long as it's somebody i actually give a crap about

  • @kingofburnttoast Really? He seems a little...old for the part.

  • @TOmostPeople their also thinking about casting robert pattinson or andrew garfield

  • same as black hawk down soundtrack?

  • Academy, BAFTA, Critics' Choice, Golden Globe, and SAG Award Winner Forest Whitaker.

  • Forest. Whitaker. Is. An. Acting. God.

  • Whitaker is is outstanding as Amin.

  • I like him, i believe him in this kind of story's @james mcAvoy

  • avory is so cute!

  • nicolas doesn't have to stand still to shoot amin, he can curve the bullet

  • @kingofburnttoast now he can use his pyschic powers to control him too.

  • @kingofburnttoast Yeah but Amin is immortal because he has foreseen his own death. Bummer!

  • @kingofburnttoast hahahahaah

  • @kingofburnttoast Oh yeah that is him. haha

  • @jackhartcup the music is from jarhead, or its used in jarhead anyway.

  • excellent movie ! it's on tonight on Film4 .. enjoy :)

  • the music in the beggining, where is it from?? I know Ive heard it somewhere else before, like another war film or somthing GRRRRRRRRRRR FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU why cant i remember the name of that film!?!?!?!?!!

  • @JohnCaseyCFC1888

    You are also correct about Scottish Labour being partly to blame over Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm just concerned that there's still a risk of us doing the same thing under a different party because we don't fully appreciate the level of autonomy that we have, or could have under a Federation.

  • @JohnCaseyCFC1888

    That can be proved wrong of course, given that you seem to be a Celtic supporter. It is wrong to simplify things, it's a mistake that features throughout history, but I hope what I have given has some gravity here.

  • @JohnCaseyCFC1888

    You are correct there, sir. Politically and ethnically, Scotland is still divided. It's not just about Britain and Independence, it's about Catholicism and Protestantism, about Irish and Scots (and more of course). For example, because one football team has its foundations among the Irish immigrants, the opposing team feels right to secure their position as true Scots and Britons, not Irish foreigners. That is why the same people that wave the British flag do the orange walk.

  • @JohnCaseyCFC1888

    It depends on who you are. I can count four unnecessary wars that Scotland has been dragged into; Falklands War, Iraq War, War in Afghanistan and now the war in Libya. If we were independent, or if we were an actual federation, we Scots would never have entered. We can do what we want now, but for as long as we are "British" then we are less likely to stop and think about the things we do collectively, and the fact that they are collective, and how we have a choice not to.

  • That really posh british guy sounds really creepy like at 1:08

  • Idi Amin was fucking mad!

  • The movie is nothing but LIES, and Libreal wet dream of Idi Amin. Idi Amin is a cannibalistic Nigger Dictator of Uganda who had one of his wives for supper and allow his soldiers to eat enemy combatans. This leftist movie lied about Idi Amin not being a cannibal and tried to makeup the story of him being misunderstood. Piece of Shit Movie.

  • @Amoraklin2 Have you even seen the movie, kid? They portray Idi Amin as pretty fucking awful, actually. He was one of his wives dismembered, and slaughters anyone that disobeys him. Why are you acting like you give a fuck about the people o
