      Why We Fucked up the End Game?

      At the end of the film, I saw Charlie Wilson's words: "These things really happened. We changed the world, then we fucked up the end game."
      It reminds me of the end of Chibi (Part 2), when the magnificent Cao Cao Zhou Yu's crown was shot down by an arrow, and his long hair was scattered in an instant. Even at this moment, he was still arrogant and arrogant. He stood on the battlefield where the smoke was billowing, with the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his body. Zhou Yu...

      People who have no knowledge of this history are not qualified to rate this film

      I saw a bunch of ridiculous comments, only to entertain a group of people who don't understand history.

      The deep suffering that the former Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan brought to the local people is Charlie's motivation. If you have watched "The Rest of the Sea", you will feel the deep shock. In the world, there is the most basic distinction between good and evil, which transcends so-called political, religious, and ethnic factors. This is why Israel, Pakistan, and Charlie...

      Democracy at stake

      If these decision-making processes, which seem bizarre to me, are true portrayals, then American politics is really in jeopardy. There is no top-level design and central planning at all, and it is just that a member of Congress will take a step by step out of faith. It's really low level. However, this also reasonably explains the decision-making results of many major policies and policies in the United States. In addition, the American people are too deceived to compare with China. If I let my...

      America's War

      I personally think this movie is the best American has ever seen. Both the production and the cast. Tom Hanks-----Forrest Gump forever; Julia Roberts----- someone who once made you believe that there is such a thing as a sparrow turns into a phoenix! But nothing is perfect, the only drawback is that the subtitle translation is too bad, there are too many typos, and the text is not satisfactory!
         I don't agree with what the movie is saying - anti-communism, but I agree with what they did...

      American preaching in an American way

      It is another film that sings praises to virtue, and it is also a character who is so-called single-handedly controlling the world situation. Charlie Wilson, an American congressman who changed the course of the Soviet-Afghan War, changed the course of the world. This is what the movie says.
          Americans are habitually wrapping their behaviors in culture. Who taught them how to kill but didn't tell them how to love, who left this mess and left it to fend for itself, who swallowed the...

    Evaluation action

    "Charlie Wilson's War" exposes corruption in many countries. For example, in Switzerland, people usually think that Switzerland is a beautiful country with hardworking and courageous people, and good at managing money even though its banks sometimes have scandals. After reading "Charlie's War", you know that Switzerland is still a big arms exporter. For a huge dollar order, a Swiss arms manufacturer wanted to buy the CIA agent...
