The Last King of Scotland

As a biographical drama and historical thriller, 'The Last King of Scotland' primarily elicits intense negative emotional responses. **Anxiety** is paramount, stemming from the protagonist Nicholas Garrigan's increasingly perilous and morally compromising position under the unpredictable and tyrannical Idi Amin. This is closely followed by **Fear** for his life and the lives of others, and profound **Disgust** and **Anger** at Amin's escalating brutality and the atrocities committed under his regime. **Empathy** is also a significant response, as audiences feel for Garrigan's moral dilemma and the suffering of the Ugandan people. The film's content is inherently **Disturbing**, showcasing the psychological and physical horrors of a dictatorial rule, leading to a pervasive sense of **Sadness** and **Guilt** for Garrigan's entanglement and complicity.
