Advantages: Great acting, story to be told Disadvantages: Gruesome
The Last King of Scotland is a story, inspired by real people and events about the life of the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. The film came out in 2006 and was one that I really enjoyed. In my opinion it's well portrayed, beautifully acted, tense and gripping and one you really have to watch.
Idi Amin is played by Forest Whitaker and he gives a truly haunting portrail. He's really quite scary in this film at the same time as being really captivating and interesting and it's no coincidence that people fall for his charms. I think he actually bears a little resembalance to the dictator himself and so this definitely made the look and character more believeable. In fact, it's not jsut me who thinks Forest did a great job. He won the Best Actor award at the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild and the BAFTAs for his role ...
Advantages: Great performances, Tense, Compelling viewing Disadvantages: Factually inaccurate
One of the most misleading film/book titles ever in my opinion!

He decided he needed to make a clean break and therefore flew out to Uganda for serving both the purposes of being great help to the health of the locals and also to gain some sense of adventure.
On a chance meeting, Amin expresses his somewhat bizarre love of Scotland ...
Advantages: too many too list Disadvantages: hmm, hardly any, it's just different and that's why I went there!
Monument. Actually you can get a wonderful view of this tower from by the Stirling castle, which is on a hill from where you can observe a wonderful valley and on the other side there's the Wallace Monument.
As you can guess, this monument was erected to the Scottish national hero William Wallace nicknamed The Braveheart who fought against the English king Edward III. to maintain Scotland's independence. We paid another 5 pounds to enter, but I have to say that the best of this monument was its outside and the view you had from its top. Simply beautiful!
Glasgow
Glasgow had too much to see in just one day, so I have made two day-trips there. Already the Glasgow Central was interesting to me so there was something to look at since I got off the train.
I didn't know really anything of the city I should go see in particular, so I ...
