自封苏格兰的末代皇帝。Garrigan是一名苏格兰大夫，上世纪70年代在参加医疗慰问团访问乌干达的时候，成为总统的私人大夫，也促成了Amin总统的残暴野性。Garrigan后来觉醒，试图弥补自己导致的恶果退出乌干达，然而，恐惧和出卖就此随着着他。这是依据Giles Foden的同名小说改编，为了能在乌干达拍摄乌干达的故事，费劲了周折，就像乌干达大腕Abbey Mukiibi说的那样大家只不过要向世界证明大家能演。竞学网影视频道带你先领略一下故事的情节和花絮。Amin gave the title 'Last King of Scotland' to himself The Ugandan film industry has been given a great boost by the decision to make the film of Giles Foden's book The Last King Of Scotland in the country, its actors have said. The film, which centres on the life of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, is currently in production in Kampala. While it stars big-name Hollywood actors Gillian Anderson and Forest Whittaker, it also features a number of Uganda's TOP actors - such as Abbey Mukiibi, who plays Masanga, Idi Amin's right-hand man.
We needed something to show the world we can act, Mukiibi told BBC World Service's The Ticket programme. We saw this as a break for us Ugandan artists to go out onto the international scene and prove we can do it. We're also proud to be part of our history, proud to be doing something for the good of our nation, proud to be part of a cast featuring alongside international Hollywood stars. But the biggest thing was that we wanted to prove a point to people - that movies can be done be in Uganda.
Choosing Uganda The Last King of the title is Amin, who had an abiding1 interest in Scotland. The story is told through the eyes of fictional2 character Nicholas Garrigan, Amin's personal physician, who took the job after Amin was involved in a minor3 freak car accident. Garrigan is played by James McAvoy. Charles Mulekwa, who is consultant4 to director Kevin MacDonald on cultural issues, explained that Garrigan is a man who has no idea where to sTOP. It's the story of life... he's climbing up the ladder on the back of a man who's becoming steadily5 problematic, steadily deranged6.
I met the producer four years ago, and they were saying: 'Maybe Uganda - but most likely South Africa'. Logistically South Africa would have been much better for them - South Africa is way ahead of us in terms of filming and so on. But I kept arguing with them. He explained that the decision was good economics for the country, and an opportunity for the artists involved. The film would also show the wider world that Uganda has had a difficult history - but we've moved on. 'Incredible' Whitaker For those involved in the film who lived under Amin, such as Mukiibi, the film has had the potential to bring up unhappy memories of life under the dictator.
But he said that as an actor, it was important to put your emotions aside and do your job. Gillian Anderson appears in the film as Sara Zach Unfortunately, there were some things that you would feel conflicting - but Charles has taken care of that, and taken care of the Ugandan interests. We Africans are proud of being Africans - we want a good image of ourselves, and we are going to fight for that image, he said. Even if you're going to show the negative, let it at least be factual - and not stereotypical7, not assumed.
