Please remember that this was a sponsored documentary which Schroeder was forced to cut (restored in this version) as the General literally held French nationals at gunpoint. That is, the quality of the original film isn't much even by 1975 standards. ---=Wiki=---------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait (French: Général Idi Amin Dada: Autoportrait) is a 1974 documentary film by French director Barbet Schroeder. It was made with the support and participation of its subject, the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. The film depicts Amin at the height of his power as ruler of Uganda. The film is an extended character study of its subject. It follows Amin closely in a series of formal and informal settings, combined with several short interviews in which Amin expounds his unconventional theories of politics, economics, and international relations. Amin is seen supervising the Ugandan paratrooper school, boating through a wildlife park, playing the accordion in a jazz band at a formal dinner, and staging a mock assault on a small hill representing the Golan Heights.

Ji, hum teacher thay. Once a teacher, always a teacher. But that was a nice comment...but do I know you from somewhere?

Zeinab, I always thought I was crazy about films but you are in a different league all together. The depth and breadth of movies you have seen is simply amazing. You would do great as a film critic.
P.S. I am posting this message on other movie boards because I do not know which one you would read.

@faisalkidwai:
I was busy with some other things for a few days...sorry I didn't check the comment. You have been very lavish with your assessment... though I have a knack of identifying a good movie in a matter of minutes (came from reading). The fact remains that I love reading better...and I do write, and I have also done a spot of film criticism, you can see it at my blog (http://harikaimal.blogspot.com).
And I do check back at this site time and again, because I post movies at tpb...thanks for downloading my movies.

@snowbirds,
Thank you for downloading and commenting...
@aduonuab,
I don't know anything about Amin...nor is it any concern of mine. This documentary by Schroeder has an interesting history. Amin literally held the crew under gunpoint. If it has turned out in any way like reality, like making us sick of Amin, then you can thank Barbet's genius for that. Not many filmmakers can do that.
