Last King of Scotland

Went and saw The Last King of Scotland last week. I'm not sure if it actually really touched on the real life of Idi Amin or what actually went on under his regime (I'm gonna say they left a little bit out:), but I do know now that if ever in Uganda, let's say doing some humanitarian work in a remote village, uh, you might want to think twice about taking that job with the President who recently came to power in a coup. And if you do accidently forget not to take the job with the mentally "unstable" President, be sure not to knock up one of his many wives, especially if you are white and everyone else is black. It's a dead give-away.
All that aside, I have to say it was an entertaining movie (some parts slightly disturbing) if you ignore that it's supposed to be "based on real facts" ...Forest Whitaker owned Amin in this movie.
