Title: Rated R for "Gruesome Images" --quite accurate
Product review: When I look back on this movie as a whole, I liked it for the most part - it was powerful, disturbing, and showcased yet another history lesson about a leader "for the people" (and the people are brainwashed to love him at first) who quickly turns into a murderous, insane, EVIL dictator. Whitaker's performance certainly deserved that oscar. Wow. Excellent accent too.The main problem I had with this movie was that I felt no sympathy for the main character, Dr. Garrigan. I wanted him to be punished, to die. He was such an idiot and made horrible choices throughout. Most people would at least have some common sense not to do some of the things he did. I mean, he should never have expected to get away with anything. He was generally a selfish character, a womanizer. I blame him for what happened to one of the women towards the end, and I wish he'd had to suffer in that woman's place. She never deserved to.
