HIT US UP:

[TheDMB]

I love the way they introduce him. Camera is behind him and he’s seen as a larger than life figure and he was concealed prior to this.

[marnistone]

Whittaker was absolutely terrifying in this film. What an actor.

[RickyRisha]

Truly deserved oscar! Whitaker did it perfect.

[sergiorodriguezgarcia]

Now i understand why forest whitaker won the oscar

[monroemullinix]

"I never eat food until my soldiers have eaten first"

In case it's poisoned.

[kb-zealot]

There's just the right amount of tension in this scene, from the guns and the guards' thousand mile stare over the crowd, and from that vaguely threatening line "I know who you are and everything that you are", but there's not so much tension that it can't be covered up by Amin's charisma, and it is soon forgotten by the crowd and the viewer

[GrayNeko]

Forrest Whitaker, the most under-utilized, un-sung actor of this age. This man can BRING IT! For crying out loud, Hollywood, give the man a chance!

[TheHamsterMaster]

Forest Whitaker is one of the greatest actors i have ever seen. He truly deserves MUCH more credit, not just for this role.

[rayunitedforyou]

I watched Pursuit of Happyness in 2007 and when I came to know that Will Smith didn't win the Oscar for his role after getting nominated, I was wondering who could have outshone his performance. Then I watched Whittaker's performance in The Last King of Scotland and realised how supreme and mesmerizing his performance was.

[violatorut]

It’s crazy how much of a commanding presence he has just walking up to the microphone. Don’t even need to see his face.

[BrianCGimmicks]

He played that part excellent. Worthy of an Oscar!

[emilyl]

This man is still phenomenal actor. Holy cow

[Sparkledash]

what a great casting choice. I think no one could've acted the nightmarish Ugandan butcher known as Idi Amin better then Forest Whittaker. The Academy has did the right decision to give him the Oscar.

[michaelfitzgerald]

One of the finest performances of the decade.

[erinpilla]

This movie still scares my soul out of my body

[RealBono]

Can't believe I slept on this movie for so long. What an incredible experience.

[kozibamajuta]

Still come on You Tube 2024 for this Clip. BEST OF ALL TIME

[danielocsai]

The microphone looks old, porous, which simbolyze the poverty of Uganda. I love the details like this in movies.

[internetperson]

The insane thing is that Idi Amin died in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,
and Forest Whitaker played Saw Gerera in rogue one a star wars story, in which his character was in a city called Jedha (same pronunciation), and his character died in Jedha as well.

[Raja.]

I was watching this video and then my neighbour came and we watched it together. He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart. I then went and rented a projector in a big field and all my villagers watched it and it changed their lives too. We all are so grateful.
Thank You for this video….
