Charlie Wilson's War
In many ways this movie is an understatement. An insight into American plutocracy, and how grassroot political lobbying can galvanize support for any cause, without the average American even knowing say, for example where on the map Afghanistan is!
Also a picture perfect portrayal of the American psyche which looks upon its culture of infidelity and aestheticism etcetera, as defining hallmarks of it's seemingly 'secular' ideals, and the innate fallibility of Man as essentially reinforcing those 'sacred' ideals, and thus inevitable in those who speak for it- be it Charlie & Joanne or Clinton & Lewinsky..
The irony of the communist scare does not fail me, when today just as then I see neo-fascists sitting in the Roosevelt room- doing the dirty work for War mongering Corporate Eagles bred by Zionists and Christian fundamentalists elected (or so we are made to believe), by a peace loving albeit aloof, majority christian belt settled in the great plains of the Americas!
The conventional connotation of the "axis-of-evil" therefore does not do justice when it excludes the prima dona of much of what is wrong with the world today- Lady Liberty herself.
To quote the movie- "who gives a shit about a school in Pakistan?"
On an E note-Tom Hanks & Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julia have once again proved why they are among my favorite actors. Easily one of the Best movies this season.
I wonder what the Ruskies think of the movie.lol
