The Last King Of Scotland Totalitarianism

Question 1: Types of Authoritarian Regimes

The Lives of Others I would say totalitarianism because It is a regime which uses violence in terror coupled with absolute control by the state. It is often used as a term to describe regimes we particularly don't like. And as you saw in the movie they were intimidating the public by threatening to kill them or their loved ones. In The Last King of Scotland, I would say Authoritarianism because in the movie dictator Idi Amin. Although at first Dr. Garrigan feels flattered by his new position of power, he soon comes to realize that Amin's rule is soaked in blood and that he is complicit in the atrocities. Garrigan faces the fight of his life as he tries to escape Amin's grasp. And in Hotel Rwanda

It is often used as a term to describe governments in power we especially don't like. And as you saw in the movie they were threatening the public by threatening to kill them or their loved ones. In The Last King of Scotland, I would say Strictness because in the movie mean ruler Idi Amin. Although at first Dr. Garrigan feels complimented by his new position of power, he soon comes to (understand) that Amin's rule is soaked in blood and that he is involved with crime in the horrifying crimes. Garrigan faces the fight of his life as he tries to escape Amin's grab/understand. And in Hotel Rwanda I would say NondemocraticGovernment in power because in the movie the Hutu military forces start a (series of actions to reach a goal) of (killing large groups of people because of their culture, race, religion, etc.) against the Tutsi minority, Paul is forced to allow (people who have run away from their own countries because of bad treatment) to take shelter in his hotel. As the U.N. pulls out, Paul must struggle alone to protect the Tutsi (people who have run away from their own countries because of bad treatment) in the face of the worsening violence later known as the Rwandan mass

This allows political leaders in nondemocratic governments in power to have much greater (freedom) to make policies which they command (have someone write what you say) to the people. In the movie The Lives of Others the reason why I say there a state of powerful, controlling government is because they drove Christa-Maria to perform suicide by striking fear into her. Plus Dreyman felt he was above power in my eyes when he took the freedom to bug the play writer apartment.The Last King of Scotland I would say Strictness because in the movie Idi Amin especially held the doctor under his will and wouldn't allow him to leave his aid. Idi Amin also found out that the doctor was sleeping with one of his wife's and cut her into pieces.Hotel Rwanda I would say Nondemocratic Government in power because it was (related to a group of people with the same race, culture, religion, etc.) conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi, not only what was going on but during the length of time of the movie you will see the U.N. pulls out, and Paul must struggle alone to protect the Tutsi (people who have run away from their own countries because of bad treatment) in the face of the increasing violence later known as the Rwandan mass
