Two movies down, four to go…I head over to Theatre 19 for Charlie Wilson’s War. 2:10 PM. This is about the real life Texas Congressman, Charlie Wilson (Hanks) a renegade CIA operative (Hoffman), and a zealous religious socialite (Roberts) and their involvement in the Soviet Afghanistan conflict towards the end of the cold war.
Totally laced with Aaron Sorkins’ political commentary, not only on the fall of the Soviet Union, but the current war in Iraq. I don’t know that I agree with all of his views. Nevertheless, extremely interesting and surprisingly entertaining, Charlie Wilson’s War offers a bizarre look at just who has the ability to run a war.
