I saw some pretty interesting movies this week. At the top, "The Last King of Scotland", a movie about a young Scottish doctor who goes to Uganda as a way tof rebelling against his family and ends up as the personal physician of Idi Amin. The movie traces the strange bonding between the Scotsman and Amin, a ruthless dictator obssesed with all things Scottish.
The movie shows us the strange world of Idi Amin but it also shows the hypocrisy of all politicians. When he seizes power, he gives a speech that makes one realize how all politicians are scumbags, as he promises "more housing, more roads, more jobs.". And, of course, all he really plans to do is bankrupt the country. Haven't we heard that before?
This movie is playing at the Metro in Santurce.
I also saw " Bandidas". OK. So I saw it because the DVD cover featured Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz showing cleavage. But this is a pretty entertaining little movie. It really doesn't take itself very seriously. It kind of reminded me of Louis Malle's "Viva Maria!". A nice movie to see when one wants to simply be entertained.
