Last King Of Scotland

This is one of my all time favourite movies! The movie is based on the true and brutal events of Dictator Idi Amin's regmin as seen by his personal physician during the 1970's.

Nicholas Garrigan has just graduated as a doctor, and decides to move to Uganda to get away from his father.While working in a mission in the country, he meets the new President Idi Amin after the coup-d'é-tat that overthrow the former government. He is invited to become his personal physician in Kampala and along the years he sees how authoritarian  his friend is.

I loved this movie so much, it is a little brutal so if your not into violence or blood or anything don't watch this, it gets pretty bad near the end. I loved how blunt and close to the truth this movie was.

The acting in this movie was exceptional, James McAvoy and Forest Whitaker are the main characters in the movie, James plays Nicholas and Forest plays Idi Amin.
