The Last King of Scotland

Forest Whitaker got an Oscar the other night at the Academy Awards. He played Idi Amin the dictator that ruled over Uganda in the 70’s. Amin had two very distinctive sides, one a very charismatic leader and the other a very paranoid, revenge driven man that would let nothing come between him and his glory. In the beginning of the movie Forest Whitaker runs into a doctor from Scotland and immediately falls in love with him because he claims to love Scotland and football. The movie goes on to depict the paranoia and psychotic behavior of Amin. The movie ends with Amin trying to kill the doctor because he had and affair with his wife. This was a well deserved Oscar for Forest Whitaker because no actor in the world could bring Idi Amin to like quite like Forest Whitaker did. And Like Grant says, "what a legend this guy is" hahahaha
