"The last king of Scotland",the new movie by veteran hollywood actor Forrest Whitaker,depicits the former African villian,dictator,ruler et al, Idi Amin Dada of Uganda!according to a review by the New York Times "whitakers" character as Idi Amin was a well" telegraphic display of a monster",he was amazing as he didnt let Africans down in the way he portrayed the character flawlessly,his use of the African vocabulary was superb for an African-American,reminding us of the way "Don Cheadle"played the character of "Paul Lu, "in the movie "hotel Rwanda".A revealing fact is that the man, Forrest Whitaker is actually a Nigerian from the Igbo descent, this he found out during the production of the movie while he was in Africa( and decided to trace his roots).We say a big thank you to the movie producers for once again reminding us of our past,present and future through the life of a gruesome African leader, the movie is proudly African and should be watched by Africans.
