whose war

The rating is a bit low, around 7 should be reasonable. Not at the highest level of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, or even in normal play. The protagonist, Charlie Wilson, lacks a sufficient motivation to support what he is doing for Afghanistan, and a trip to a refugee camp is not enough. Fictional characters are often easily given a backstory to propel the protagonist, but adapting from a real person is a bit restrictive, and a lot of human behavior is hard to explain. At the same time, the flaws and strengths of this character are somewhat separated, and the audience cannot feel that his romantic private life and political achievements exist in the same person. How he went about getting the Soviet budget for Afghanistan didn't get much exposure, and the writers didn't give the story more room to explore the ideology of the act after the final proposal to build the school was rejected. Starring Tom Hanks didn't come up with his highest level either, probably being limited by the story. The supporting role is very low, the secretary like Amy Adams feels like there is some special relationship with Charlie, but in fact the role is still a vase, as does Julia Roberts. But there are quite a lot of good-looking young ladies in the movie, some secretaries and the belly dancer are very beautiful, and Emily Blunt.

    Being able to make a biopic and a political film fairly is pretty good in itself, but the truth is always better than the movie. . . Every time I watch this movie, I feel like I am making up my history

Charlie Wilson's War quotes

  • Zvi: I love you, Charlie, but you are a grown man who still hasn't learned to look both ways before he crosses the fucking street!

    [he glares at Charlie]

    Zvi: Alright, I'll help you.

    [he turns and looks at Avrakotos]

    Zvi: But I don't like this guy!

    Charlie Wilson: I know exactly how you feel.

  • Zvi: This meeting it going to be run professional.

    Gust Avrakotos: Oh absolutely. We're going to be talking to the Deputy Defense Minister while his boss gets a belly dance from a friend of Charlie's.

    Zvi: What?

    Charlie Wilson: A friend of mine is a well known belly dances in Texas. It's always been her dream to perform in Egypt, so she's our way in. While she's dancing for the Defense Minister, we'll be talking to the deputy.

    Zvi: Oh my God.

    Gust Avrakotos: No, she's supposed to be pretty good
