The Last King of Scotland

Today, I have seen a film called The Last King of Scotland. The film is adapted according to a real story happened in Uganda.
A medical student called Garrigan in Scotland graduated from school. In order to find something excited in life, he chose to be a volunteer doctor in Uganda. When he got to Uganda, a coup had just taken place there. General Amin’s became the new president of Uganda. By accident, Garrigan got to know General Amin and soon became good friends. General Amin in the public showed that he was so friendly and he fought for his people. But he said one thing while did another thing. He killed all the people that were against him or even he didn’t like. At first, Garrigan was deceived by Amin’s appearance. He tried his best to defend General Amin. But later Amin even wanted to kill Garrigan. At this time, Garrigan finally knew the truth. With many people’s help, he escaped from Uganda. Before long, General Amin was pulled down by his people for his cruelty.
After seeing this film, I am a little sad. Amin also came from a poor family. He should have known the life of poor people. But after he became a president and had strong power, he changed. He became self-fish and unbelieving. To reinforce his position, he killed all the people that violated his will. At last, he even didn’t have a friend. What a tragedy it was! It is also very difficult for such a man to survive long in modern society. So no matter how high your position will be in the future, be humble and considerate. You will achieve more. That is my personal opinion. Thank you.
