About this product

Product Information

Forest Whitaker delivers a ferociously commanding performance as bloodthirsty Ugandan president Idi Amin in Kevin MacDonald's THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND. Adapted from the novel by Giles Foden, the film recounts Amin's horrific reign through the eyes of a fictional character, Nick Garrigan (James McAvoy), a young doctor from Scotland who travels to Uganda hoping to do some good. Nick is more sanguine about new president Amin than is his counterpart Sarah Merrit (Gillian Armstrong), whose experience causes her to be skeptical of Amin's bombastic declarations. After an automobile accident, Nick is called in to treat the president's wounds. His authoritative behavior impresses Amin, who charms Nick into becoming his personal physician. Nick embraces his newfound life of luxury, but he is unable to grasp the reality of the situation. When he does finally realize the atrocities Amin is inflicting upon his people (and is also capable of inflicting on Nick), the terrified doctor tries to make a frantic escape before it's too late.MacDonald, director of the acclaimed documentaries ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER and TOUCHING THE VOID, makes a startlingly assured transition into fictional filmmaking with THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND. Working with cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (THE CELEBRATION) and editor Justine Wright, MacDonald brings 1970s Uganda to pulsating life, perfectly recreating that tumultuous era. But ultimately the film belongs to Whitaker: as he shifts from charming to maniacal in the space of a short, unexpected breath, he infuses Amin with startling humanity.

Be careful purchasing from this guy. He sent me 8 out of 9 cards and didn’t send what was shown in photos. He also marked cards as NM/M but they came as LP/MP. When I message him about it, he becomes hostile and accusing me of scamming.

The Last King of Scotland
The movie peers into the troubled African nation Uganda, it explores the turmoil and troubles surrounding the country's darkest recent period ... the Idi Amin regime. In 1970, a young Scottish doctor named Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy) comes to Uganda around the time that a military coup puts General Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker) into power. Garrigan tends to the dictator for a minor ailment, and Amin is impressed by the young Scottish doctor, and asks him to be his private physician . True violence only comes late, but when it arrives it’s stark and unrestrained, and becomes more and more apparent that this is not a film for the faint-hearted.The movie peers into the troubled African nation Uganda, it explores the turmoil and troubles surrounding the country's darkest recent period ... the Idi Amin regime.

Chillingly Superb Acting
When I first watched this movie, it was after Forest Whitaker had won for best actor so I knew that would be great. I saw it once and thought that would be enough. I then watched the movie again and now own it. There are many amazing things about this movie, especially for those who were alive and remember Amin but the thing I found most incidiously clever (aside from Forest Whitaker's acting which leaves you breathless and on the edge of your seat) is the nonfiction device used to demonstrate Amin's personality...how he could turn on a dime, and what was smoldering underneath all the while he's wearing that childish grin. This nonfiction element is in form of a foreign doctor he befriends and slowly almost destroys. It is a subtle thing...you almost feel you've been taken in like the ...

This nonfiction element is in form of a foreign doctor he befriends and slowly almost destroys. It is a subtle thing...you almost feel you've been taken in like the doctor, suckered in, even though you know the true Amin and what he's capable of. If you read other reviews, they may find fault with how the movie was done. I think it was sheer brilliance. There are many biographical/semibiographical movies that show in documentary form the person's life. Surely there is some of that in here - showing what was done to the people of Uganda during Amin's rule. But if you really, really want to see what Amin was like, Whitaker is the actor, and this is the movie.

A true story about a Leader who kills his own people
Forest Whitaker is the main reason to see this film based on the real-life dictator, Idi Amin, known for having 300,000 Ugandans slaughtered. It delves deeply into the corruption of the soul that comes from too much power, money and fame. This applies not only to Amin, but a fictional young Scottish doctor(James McAvoy), working in a clinic serving the poor. He becomes a pawn of Amin and through bribery ends up serving as his personal physician, his head of security and his political spokesman at times. The doctor is naive, innocent and careless, and takes very dangerous chances that most will see as unbelievable. The film becomes heart-pounding when one particularly crazy sexual encounter ends up going over the edge, but it helps enlighten him to the leader's brutality. Forest Whitaker's ...

The doctor is naive, innocent and careless, and takes very dangerous chances that most will see as unbelievable. The film becomes heart-pounding when one particularly crazy sexual encounter ends up going over the edge, but it helps enlighten him to the leader's brutality. Forest Whitaker's take on the tyrant is gripping and hypnotic. He goes from boundless charm one moment and morphs into a murderer the next. The story is based on a successful novel and adapted for the screen by Peter Morgan and Jeremy Brock. Ironically, Morgan also wrote the script for "The Queen", and both stars, Mirren for "Queen" and Whitaker for "King" are Oscar nominated. There is some very graphic gore, but how could there not be in a tale about the dual nature of a man who is charismatic and killer all in one.

at first you're lulled into a false sense of security...but with ominous warnigs....like young boys dragged away to become killers...but the tragedies multiply until idi amin (Forest Whitaker) begins to show his awesome misuse of power...until finally the frightening reality you've seen all along escalates...you know it's Idi Amin but Forest Tucker portrays the unraveling of sanity with remarkable ease.
