General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait - Amazing 1970s Film

gwaan says...

The real thing - much scarier than Forest Whitaker in 'The Last King of Scotland' (although Forest is superb and deserves an Oscar!):

In 1971, the small African nation of Uganda was taken over by self-styled dictator General Idi Amin Dada, beginning an eight-year reign of terror that would result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. Released in 1976, in this chilling yet darkly comic documentary, director Barbet Schroeder turns his cameras on the infamous tyrant, revealing the dynamic, charming, and appallingly dangerous man whose fanatical neuroses held an entire nation in their grip. Made with the full support and participation of the infamous dictator, General Idi Amin Dada provides a candid and disturbing portrait of one of the 20th century’s most notorious figures.

Ghost Dog - Way of the Samurai trailer

Ghost Dog - Way of the Samurai trailer

Farhad2000 says...

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is a 1999 film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch.

A wonderful film with an amazing soundtrack. I have watched this movie and listened to the soundtrack many many times. The Japanese soundtrack is notoriously hard to attain.

The film takes place in a fictional Northeastern city and its environs in the present day United States. Forest Whitaker stars as the title character, the mysterious "Ghost Dog", an African American hitman in the employ of the Mafia, and who follows the ancient code of the samurai as outlined in book of Yamamoto Tsunetomo's recorded sayings, Hagakure.

The film's score and soundtrack is produced by the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, his first soundtrack production. He was later involved in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill franchise, Blade: Trinity, and other movies.

US and Japanese versions of the soundtrack album have been released, each with a different set of tracks. The Japanese release also has some songs not in the film. Songs in the film that don't appear any either soundtrack album include From Then Till Now performed by Killah Priest, Armagideon Time performed by Willi Williams, Nuba One performed by Andrew Cyrille and Jimmy Lyons and Cold Lampin With Flavor performed by Flavor Flav. RZA also has a small role in the movie, playing a camouflage wearing, cross-bearing "street crusader" counterpart to Ghost Dog's samurai. As Ghost Dog and RZA's character meet on the street, he and Ghost Dog bow and exchange greetings.

RZA: Ghost Dog, power and equality.
Ghost Dog: Always see everything my brother.

After the greeting they both pass each other and continue on their way. RZA is credited as "Samurai In Camouflage" in the end credits.
