Based on Giles Foden's novel of the same name, the film tells the story of a Scottish doctor, Gary Gan, who was accepted as a private doctor by the then Ugandan dictator Amin when he visited Uganda in the 1970s, only to awaken the cruelty and wildness of President Amin. Garrigan later woke up and tried to make up for the bad consequences he had caused and left Uganda. However, fear and betrayal accompanied him.

About movies

After the film was released in Troll, Colorado, and Tokyo, many people thought it was a fusion of various styles, as if it were a trip of the hero Nicholas Goricon. The story begins with a young and lively Scotsman flying to Africa with his wings and sowing many "oats" ... but after Andy Amin appeared, the plot plummeted and entered a state of terror.

Unlike Hotel Rwanda, which grossed 2.35 billion pounds (thanks in part to the Oscar nomination of Hotel Rwanda, of course), The Last Scottish King may not be so eye-catching. However, we can still estimate its box office. Although the omitted theme will confuse some viewers, it is certain that if the audience enters the cinema, they will never come out again until the end of the film.

The theme of the film is undoubtedly against absolute monarchy and Andy Amin, who has powerful power and desire like Hitler. The film replaces the real background with fictional plots, making the film more enjoyable.

About the director

Kevin mcdonald used his films to prove to the audience that he is a very talented director and good at telling stories. In the film, he replaced the real background of Andy Amin's cruel rule in Uganda with a fictional story.

About actors

James McIvey, a 26-year-old young Scottish actor, is fully qualified to play the reckless but charming Nicholas Gricken, and the director Kevin McDonnell is very satisfied with his performance. At the same time, his breakthrough performance in the film also made him a top star in Hollywood.

Andy Amin, the Ugandan president and dictator played by forest whitaker, not only has a cruel side universally recognized, but Whitaker also discovers his human side. When Ai Ming loses his temper, maybe even the audience will be scared by his appearance.
