Yesterday went to see Charlie Wilson's War produced by good old Tom Hanks starring Juliet Roberts. It is estimated that the creators chose this book at this time to express their political views:
1. The Taliban terrorists are a legacy of the Cold War. The United States mishandled the war in Afghanistan and suffered the consequences.
2. Now, if the United States mishandles Iraq, it may also lead to bad consequences. The United States needs to take responsibility and cannot only destroy but not build.
After 9/11, especially in the past two years, there have been some movies that express related political ideas, but most of them are unsatisfactory, such as Babel and The Kingdom. Probably because there is not enough time, people do not have a clear and definite concept about the war on terror, and now no one can predict the outcome, so the film always feels loose and shallow. This is also normal. Those films that successfully reflected the Vietnam War, such as The Deer Hunter, were made in the latter part of the Vietnam War, when the situation was already clear. But this movie is particularly disappointing. The plot has no twists and turns, and the character plane is single. If it were two unfamiliar actors, I would probably be bored to the point of falling asleep.
It's also quite sad. Hanks had deep wrinkles on his forehead, and the face had lost its vitality. Despite the thick white powder and bright red lips, Roberts couldn't hide his old look. And Hanks is not romantic enough, Roberts is not extravagant enough, and the character design in the movie is too different. Alas, their golden years are gone.
When I got back a call from a friend for Christmas wishes, I mentioned the movie. He said that he had had a drink with the prototype of the male protagonist, and said some gossip about him. So my curiosity was aroused, I checked the wiki, and once again found that reality is better than art. The real male protagonist is not a little bit more handsome than Hanks, and this role is almost played by Jude Law. Although he was the eighth-to-last in his grade when he graduated from college, he was romantic, never went home at night, and was a playboy, but he was able to have a good time in politics (there are many such people in politics). The heroine was born in a wealthy and powerful family in Texas. The appearance is not particularly beautiful, but Qiao Mo Qiao's attitude is sultry. She said, "When I was driving, someone gave me the middle finger. I looked back and smiled and sent him a blowing kiss." She was so romantic, so she could drop out of school in her second year and get married. Decided to get married after only five dates. - Just like Cleopatra's money.
