The King of Scotland

Does anyone know anything about the movie the King of Scotland?

I don't understand what the title has to do with the movie as it is about Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.

I see. THanks that helps. I saw Forest Whittaker on Oprah recently, but they never really went into the details of the movie. I'm only recently hearing about the movie so I really don't have a clear understanding of it.

WHat prompted the question was my mom rents movies through Blockbuster which works like Netflix (renting movies through mail) and the movie holder had the right title, but gave a synopsis for THe King of Scotland. I was talking to my mom about this and we started talking about the movie KoS and wondering about the title.

It looks good, really interesting. I wouldn't necessarily trust it to be true to fact or unbiased, but entertainment wise, it looks fab.

I'm not sure it's my kind of movie, but the title certainly had me curious. And the name Idi Amin was familiar so it had me wondering.
