The book goes right up to Idi Amin's overthrow. I think the book is actually better, but the movie is very good as well, especially Forrest Whittaker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-64263635371444792982009-03-03T08:27:00.000-05:002009-03-03T08:27:00.000-05:00Have you seen Barbet Schroeder's totally bizarre d...Have you seen Barbet Schroeder's totally bizarre documentary about Idi Amin? Not to be missed. So weird - and the story BEHIND the documentary is almost as interesting and terrifying as Idi Amin himself. Schroeder got total access to Idi Amin, and it's a documentary with very little narration or editorializing ... Idi Amin showed himself to Schroeder in the way HE wanted to be shown - and because he was a grandiose mad man he had no self-awareness of what he was REALLY showing ... One of the scariest movies I've ever seen. Truly creepy.<BR/><BR/>I love McAvoy too and I love to hear your analysis on why he is so special. Definitely one to watch.Sheila O'Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859697259996394827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-81436832303025707562009-03-03T05:48:00.000-05:002009-03-03T05:48:00.000-05:00What a strange coincidence, we were just talking a...What a strange coincidence, we were just talking about Idi Amin last night because I couldn't remember his name related to something else...but I didn't realize there was a film about him and with Forest Whitaker and James McAvoy to boot. I have no idea if I can find this here, but will have a look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
