#CHARLIE WILSON CHARLIE LAST NAME WILSON ZIP MOVIE#

What's even worse about this movie is its political naivetГ©: There are no 'good guys' or 'bad guys' in war. Smith's trip to Washington if an adulterous coke-snorting lush is the new Lincoln. I find the character loathsome, mainly because we're asked to consider him a hero. It's similar to the way we're asked to find Charlie's whoring adorable because we never see his wife. And what's worse is how director Mike Nichols hid Charlie's crime from the audience in much the same way real politicians hide their crimes from their constituents: delicately-worded dialogue and deceptive maneuvering. 'Technically I did cocaine in the Cayman Islands but that's out of American jurisdiction.' Yes, it's the slimy lecherous alcoholic politician who just saved his hide on a loophole. 'It's over!' he shouts, his nymphette secretaries swarming him in joy. I made it one hour and ten minutes into this picture before the death-blow forced me from the theater: Charlie celebrating the end of the cocaine investigation. Outstanding writing, and superlative acting, and a story that needed to be told.

Now, add a rich Texas socialite who wants something done in Afghanistan, played perfectly by Julia Roberts and a pain-in-his-boss's-ass CIA agent, superbly done by Philip Seymour Hoffman, and you have a movie well worth watching. Like he reportedly said, 'You can teach them to type, but you can't teach them to grow tits.' Despite his sexist attitude, which fits right in with a Texas Congressman, they were fiercely loyal, especially his aide, Amy Adams (Junebug & former Hooters girl). His office staff looked as if he were at the Playboy Mansion. Not a hard job, so he had plenty of time to fool around - and that he did.

Tom Hanks was incredible as a small-time Texas Congressman whose constituents only wanted lower taxes and to keep their guns. He made a compelling story believable, and made me weep at the same time. His script was a beautiful blend of humor and tragedy. It has been a long time - The American President, A Few Good Men. Imagine my thrill at seeing a film that he wrote again. I quit watching 'The West Wing' after Aaron Sorkin quit writing and producing. He will be just better armed and trained than ever. When you ask who did 9/11 - Charlie did it! Your enemy may defeat another enemy of yours, but in the end he will remain to be your enemy. Al-Qaeda is the creation of Charlie Wilson. The movie was created as a celebration of the success, but more or less it should be presented as a warning. The Russians could not afford long time 'help' for financial reasons - the same reasons that Americans cannot afford to 'stay and help' in Iraq and Afghanistan. From the long term point of view it would be better to keep Russians in Afghanistan to repair the infrastructure from their own pocket and let them bleed slowly. But it was the same success as was the success of Enron or Worldcom - short time success followed by the catastrophic collapse. In the tactical level the 'help' was a success. The American help actually lead to disruption of the country, increased the production of drugs, lead from communistic dictatorship to the theocratic dictatorship, provided the safe ground for Islamic terrorists and finally destabilized the region including the Pakistan. The Americans were the same enemy as the Russians. Absolutely no respect, absolutely no gratitude.

It was irrelevant to them who would supply them the weapons and explicitly told they gave no damn about Americans, because 'it was their own (Afghan) blood that will be spilled' and 'they gave us just some money'. You can see it in documentaries: The Americans are proud to help 'freedom' in the Afghanistan, but the Afghan leaders actually had no idea who was helping them. At the best you will become 'the useful idiot'. You may help your enemy to fight his enemy, but you will never become his friend when it comes to Islamic countries. The proverb that the 'Enemy of my enemy is my friend' is basically wrong. It shows, however, the real nature of American stupidity when it comes to politics. The movie is pretty much okay on technical level and the acting is good.
