Compare this trailer for a B-movie on the life of the Ugandan dictator with Barbet Schroeder's 1974 documentary on the same subject. The latter shows Amin as something of an affable buffoon whilst the former could be said to take the more obvious approach in portraying an 'evil' character. Perhaps Schroeder's more 'human' portrayal is more disturbing as it presents a monstrous character such as Amin in rather pedestrian (and not wholly unlikeable) terms.
