The Last King Of Scotland
[info]deepakchowdhary
I would like start this blog by wishing you all a very happy and colorful Holi. Well this coming from a man who sells paints...so I mean the statement literally.
Yesterday I went to Noida for some official work and after finishing off the work I ended up watching " The Last King Of Scotland". When I came to know Leo D caprio is not getting the academy awards I was very disappointed coz I really thought he has done an awesome job in Blood Diamond and even The Departeed (though it wasnt nominated). But when I saw Forest Whitaker in the role of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin , I was the just completely taken aback and enjoyed the joy ride. The man was apt for the role and he just mixed the strange fear he use to instill and the candour. Carrying off that kinda shade is not easy..I guess Mr Macdonald did more or less perfect job by casting him and James McAvoy (As Nicholas Garrigan). James is an charming personality and he had an air around him and one was pretty sure by just looking at him that girls gonna go crazy abt him. Anyway I best scene from the movie was when he shot the cow with complete aplomb and became the favourite of the dictator. there are a lot of scenes which would make you smile and then suddenly make you sit on the edge of your seats. One movie you guys would not like to miss...The Last King Of Scotland...go ahead...you wont regret it.

Although I am not a movie buff (as you sure seem to be), I assure you I wouldn't just say 'ah! what waste of time' when I see that title 'The Last King of Scotland'. I would rather give it attention to the best of my ability.Thank you.
And yea....I hope you had an extremely enjoyable Holi.
Keep smiling and Keep Rocking!
