I’ll say this…my reaction to Charlie Wilson’s War was unexpected.
It strengthened my resolve to stay in Iraq and Afghanistan, lest the same outcome happen again.
I know. That’s not what I thought would happen.
The performances by the big three (Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman) were certainly of the level you would expect, but I really appreciated the insight into a unique piece of American history.
With the Cold War 20 years behind us, I feel like we have forgotten just how evil the Evil Empire was…and what it was like to live during those times.
I certainly hadn’t heard of Rep. Wilson prior to this movie (apparently he died w/in the past 2 months), but came to appreciate how one determined person CAN make a difference…and do it in his own unique way.
