seen the movie "The Last King of Scotland???"

A Scottish doctor on a Ugandan medical mission becomes irreversibly entangled with one of the world’s most barbaric figures: Idi Amin. Impressed by Dr. Garrigan’s brazen attitude in a moment of crisis, the newly self-appointed Ugandan President Amin hand picks him as his personal physician and closest confidante. Though Garrigan is at first flattered and fascinated by his new position, he soon awakens to Amin’s savagery--and his own complicity in it. Horror and betrayal ensue as Garrigan tries to right his wrongs and escape Uganda alive.

yes, I saw it. I was surprised, it was not what I expected. Perhaps the most surprising was that the main character was so thoughtless and did so much damage. I wonder where the "historic" ends and the "fiction" begins ... I never cease to be amazed and horrified at what human beings are capable of doing to one and other.

btw, I was sitting next to the cutest guy at the theater, ooh baby!

Cute guy? Where? You were sitting by him? Damn! I missed it?  Where was I?

(alene writing) Where, you ask? Just take a look at our "avatar". The one in front is the cute one.
 

No, the movie mentions that he fled the country and where he went to, I believe. I understand that he was taken in by a Muslim nation because he was such an embarrassment to Islam that they wanted to assure that he maintained a low profile. He died of renal failure? Why is it that the really bad ones live to a ripe old age?
