So was I! In fact, now I think Kevin should make a YouTube spoof of this clip, replacing silly clips of him in place of the real director. You know, if he's bored one afternoon and wants to play with Windows Movie Maker...
Whitaker's performance was so beyond words it gave me goosebumps: the accuracy of his humor and demeanor, his accent his posture was truely african. I was knocked off my socks with this movie. Utterly impressive!
He wasn't a real person. Nick Garrigan I mean. He was written by the director/writers as an accumulation of 4 different men who had had encounters with Amin.
The character of Nick Garrigan was based on an Englishman called Robert Astles.. thought he was much more involved in the darker side of Amin's government than Garrigan was in the movie.
The reason he was portrayed as a Scot was because Amin really was in love with all things Scottish.. and as a doctor because Kay Amin really did fall pregnant to a doctor. (And was killed and dismembered as punishment.)

This was a pretty good film and Forest Whitaker did a great acting job but he looked nothing like Amin.

Whitaker's accent was bad, his gait, not that of Amin. Overall i think the moview was a poor representation of Amin and Uganda at the time.

I knew dark Scottish girl those descendants traced back to the colonial slave trade, but this is off topical.
Idi Amin called himself "The King of Scotland".
Maybe to align himself with a people had had no great liking of the English, Uganda was once and English colony. BTW great acting by Whitaker.

You don't get the title do you, you idiot? He claimed to be the "Last King of Scotland", among other outlandish epithets. Read up, you buffoon.
