''Rise and Fall of Idi Amin'', also known as ''Amin: The Rise and Fall'', is a 1981 biographical film directed by Sharad Patel and starring Joseph Olita as Idi Amin. It details the controversial actions and atrocities of the former dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin Dada, during his violent rise to power in 1971 until his overthrow in 1979 as the result of the Uganda–Tanzania War. ''Rise and Fall of Idi Amin'' was a co-production of the United Kingdom, Kenya and Nigeria, with most of filming done in Kenya, less than a year after Amin's downfall. Despite being branded as an exploitation film, it is actually quite accurate with the facts and dates of the events depicted, including the Israeli raid, the war with Tanzania, and the capture and imprisonment of British journalist Denis Hills (who portrays himself in the film).〔 It does, however, take certain liberties, especially with the portrayal of Amin (such as being shown to be a cannibal, reflecting a popular rumor). For the most part, the film accurately portrays many real people, including Bob Astles, Amin's white advisor and assistant. When released to international audiences, including in the United States, most of the voices were dubbed, due to poor sound production.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=2 June 2014 )〕 Joseph Olita also played Amin in the 1991 film ''Mississippi Masala''. The film won five awards, including Best Actor, at the Las Vegas International Film Festival.〔(Obituary: Joseph Olita on playing Idi Amin ) at YouTube〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rise and Fall of Idi Amin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
