This film was shown to us when the teacher explained the acting skills during the film and television appreciation. Sure enough, the actor of Amin in this film, Forest Whitaker, really recreated a tyrant. The Oscar actor is by no means an understatement. The ignorance, cowardice, hypocrisy, and cruelty of a tyrant is shown before us. The hypocrisy in front of the people, the cowardice when alone, the panic after the attack, and the brutality of cutting off dissidents together constituted Amin, who kills without blinking an eye and has human flesh in the kitchen. When watching this film, many girls dare not be on the screen, perhaps such a real cruelty makes them afraid to face it. The horror that wipes out humanity is the horror that transcends everything in the world.
We never watch our own political movies, because our movies are full of simple binary oppositions. Everything is good or bad. A person appears monotonous and not full, and we only see the good or the bad. In this movie, both Armin and the young Scottish doctor are real people. In the first part of the film, I even wondered if this was the brutal and carnivorous monarch I had ever heard of. He is so friendly and appealing to the people, and he is such a beloved president. In the film, when he asked the doctor for a t-shirt for his son, he was such a great father full of love. It's just that you and I were all deceived by this side of this cruel monarch. The contrast between the front and the back made me temporarily unacceptable. How could he be like this. All existence has its rationality, and the film also reveals the cause of his character, and reveals the psychological shadow he left behind when he was young. This is a living Amin, Amin with antecedents and consequences, not an unreasonable madness that jumps out of thin air in our movies. Similarly, the doctor also showed his fascination with rights and femininity before showing his human conscience. He seduce women at the same time, seduce women of benefactors, and even seduce women who don’t know him. He is a human, and he always has seven passions and six desires. . I always remember the phrase "Looking at the side as a ridge and a peak, the distance is different."
A person in history and life is always complicated and not simple. Man is not good or bad, but his actions are placed in the generalized universal law of nature and are only applicable to our individual hobbies or hatreds.
The Chinese translation of the film is called "The Last Dictatorship", which seems to me a bit unreasonable. Totalitarianism is always scary and disgusting, just like the era of Big Brother exaggerated in the famous "1984". Freedom is always desirable, but the road to freedom is often full of ruggedness. An advanced political system should be equal to an advanced citizen. In such a country, perhaps such a tragedy is inevitable. It's just like the June 4th Anniversary that will come in two days. Let me use this article to commemorate those true pioneers. Fortunately, everything is progressing, and the dictator will eventually die. Facing the call of God, all of us are the same. All we want is a world in which both material and spirit are free.
