About the last dictatorship

I don't think this movie is about politics. It is about human nature, life and many other things.
Because of the fear of death, they will try to establish their own authority, unable to trust others, and slaughter those who have dissent or even other ethnic groups.
And what about the other tribes? Because of different religions, different skin colors, different languages, and even just different regions, this is the result.
Separation is really scary, and so are people. After watching this movie, it gave me the same feeling.
Whether it was the indifferent smiles of the murderers after the torture, Amin's sensitivity to death, or Nicholas' naive game at the beginning, or even the support of the people who were initially incited by the speech.
Human nature is a strange, complex, and inexplicable thing.
