General Idi Amin Dada | Words on Criterion
After reading the crazy Idi Amin telegrams sent to various heads of state in the world, was director curious about the brutal president of Uganda. He was allowed to make a documentary about Idi Amin and it became a self-portrait of a man who really unfolds on screen.
Idi Amin was a familiar name to us who were born in the 70's. He was the symbol telegrammes of evil and brutality. It hardly helped that he was a self-proclaimed admirer of Adolf Hitler and fervent telegrammes anti-Semite. This was odd, since his military training was conducted in Israel. Yet the first thing he did when he came to power to expel all Israelis from the country, along with the Asians that he had started an economic war against. They were given 90 days to leave the country. The assets were mostly left in the country. Idi Amin had visions of destroying Israel and in the movie he will hold a military exercise where the goal is to conquer the Golan Heights. Israel will be destroyed by sending suicide bombers. In the film he refers telegrammes to an infamous book called telegrammes Zion the Sorcerer's Scroll as evidence of Jewish evil and plans to take over the world. This book is a forgery that Russian intelligence produced in 1901.
The Ugandan president is very eager to show off their military with parades and drills telegrammes involving aircraft and tanks. Anyway, it seems Ugandan military apparatus amateurish and poorly trained. Scroeder films only that he was told about, but it all seems enough against Amin's purpose. They are hardly ready to start a war against Israel. It does not seem to upset the Idi Amin's confidence, who constantly refers to himself as a great statesman and enhances their intellectual superiority. He will win any conflict, since he "thinks in advance than them". The English his is not too bad otherwise, but he struggles violently with prepositions.
This is a fascinating film that withstands reunion. Director Barbet Scroeder see it yourself regularly, since he always finds it interesting. Idi Amin is a complex character who appears utterly charming and at times very funny. Anyway telegrammes stop laughing a bit when you consider the outrageous actions he performed. This is not a clown than you could imagine when you see the bragging and self-assertive man push himself to be the focal point in absolutely every respect. He is dangerous and cruel to it.
There are plenty of goodies in Idi Amin's bragging to fill a thick book. He is a great man, a former rugby player and heavyweight boxing champion. But statements like that one should not tackle him since one can get hurt is delicious arrogant and impractical. On the whole, the whole man removed from reality. According to him, the Ugandan economy super, it is a very rich country. He said this at a time the country was in effect bankrupt. The Ugandan defense is awesome and highly trained. Hmmm. The Israelis had no problems taking them into the country and free the hostages in the middle of an airport in Entebbe. Tanzania retaliated against aggression by Uganda to invade the country and Amin to tuck his tail between his legs and flee to Libya.
His eloquence is superior above him. And I will not deny that it is very entertaining and hear him instruct their government, but particularly eloquent is unlikely. It sounds like a layman talk about something he has only a superficial knowledge of. This is even more clearly in the speech he gave to the country's doctors. Here he goes reasonably lost in metaphors though telegrammes the main message the way I interpret it is reasonable enough. Another priceless scene is Amin's attempts to convince Scroeder that Uganda has a tip-top marine ... In the middle of Africa? Then it must be to sail on Lake Victoria to the south, as the country does not have a coastline.
Idi Amin was, according to him is not afraid to die, since he was psychic and knew exactly when and how he would die. Maybe he was right, since he did not die until 2003 in Saudi Arabia. The final scene of the film gives us a different telegrammes impression. Because the audio of the narrator is lost when this was one of the scenes which was cut away, it is a silent telegrammes sequence. We see close up of his face, and his eyes flickered as he listens to a somewhat hostile crowd. At times it seems as if it is on the fear out of his eyes.
Some of the best scenes in the film had Scroeder push to get filmed. That was the case with the government meeting. He felt it was natural to film Amin in such a situation and Amin gave way. Here comes the legendary scene where Amin hudfletter Foreign Minister two weeks later is found dead in a river.
Amin sent agents to London at the premiere of sending a resume back to Uganda on film. He was unhappy with some scenes, and demanded cuts. Scroeder refused, but gave in when Amin had 150 French telegrammes nationals in a hotel in Uganda. They were assigned phone number Scroeder and told that they could
