Charlie Wilson’s War

destul de inteligent-amuzant si foarte bine jucat... pacat ca e tot despre eternul afganistan... daca era despre aproape orice altceva putea fi un film foarte bun...

si 25 de sutimi din nota ii pierde pentru ca este incredibil de nationalist... pe principiul u.s.a. rulz, russia sux... ntz ntz ntz

Larry Liddle: Miss?
Charlie’s Angel #1: Yes sir?
Larry Liddle: It seems to me lookin’ around, that it’s almost all women workin’ here; and that they’re all very pretty. Is that common?
Charlie’s Angel #1: Well... Congressman Wilson, he has an expression. He says uhh, "You can teach them to type, but you can’t teach them to grow tits."
Larry Liddle: Well, that’s... charming.

Joanne Herring: Why is Congress saying one thing and doing nothing?
Charlie Wilson: Well, tradition mostly.

Charlie Wilson: You mean to tell me that the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan is to have the Afghans keep walking into machine gun fire ’til the Russians run out of bullets?
Gust Avrakotos: That’s Harold Holt’s strategy, not U.S. strategy.
Charlie Wilson: What is U.S. strategy?
Gust Avrakotos: Most strictly speaking, we don’t have one. But we’re working on it.
Charlie Wilson: Who’s ’we’?
Gust Avrakotos: Me and three other guys.

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

Zvi: You want me to steer Israel towards an arms deal with Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia?
Charlie Wilson: Yes.
Zvi: Well, just one or two problems with that, just off the top of my head.
Charlie Wilson: Zvi...
Zvi: Afghanistan and Pakistan don’t recognize our right to exist, we just got done fighting a war against Egypt, and everyone who has ever tried to kill me or my family has been trained in Saudi Arabia!
Gust Avrakotos: That’s not true, Zvi. Some of them were trained by us.

Charlie Wilson: How old are you?
Mike Vickers: I’ll be 30 next week.
Charlie Wilson: This is CIA’s weapons expert?
Gust Avrakotos: One of them.
Charlie Wilson: But he’s the most senior.
Gust Avrakotos: Look...
Chess Player #1: Mike!
Mike Vickers: Yeah, bishop to queen’s knight 7.
Gust Avrakotos: See, he’s playing without even looking at the board.
Charlie Wilson: That’s a useful skill... if Afghanistan’s ever invaded by Boris Spassky.
