Last King of Scotland

Just saw this movie last night. It's about Idi Amin who was the Ugandan leader in the 1970s. It portrays what was going on in the country through the eyes of his personal physician who happened to be Scottish, hence the name of the movie. It was horrific what was going on there, but wasn't a gory movie. They were focused more on relationships, etc. I thought it was a very well done movie. Both leads were great. Forrest Whittaker won a Golden Globe for his performance also. Since I've never been one to read history books, this is a great way for me to learn more about history and be grateful for what I have.
