Charlie Wilson's War

Abhi was always asking me to download a certain movie.."Macha! its great.. Tom Hanks Julia Roberts and even Om Puri.. i don kno the name..search for it dude.."
Then i was like "Dude.. nfs prostreet is still on.. i'll think abt it"..

On 11 our internals was over.Kishore and myself went to return a cd at the parlor .
("No Country for Old Men" I watched it the day before.. HELLO! studying for internals would have been better..i wonder why was it given an Oscar...wait for my blog on that)..

I picked Southland Tales(another stupid movie) while Kishore saw Julia on the cover and took this cd.. Never stopped loving ever since.(Now i'm actually reading the biography online..)

Based on a true story of Texas Democratic Congressman Charlie Wilson, an adaptation of a biography of the same name written by George Crile, this movie is wonderful.

I think its the real story thats put the charm in this one else "boo-hoo the movie is bad for a fiction".. i mean everyone has done their job perfectly well but the story gets the honors.

(Backdrop 1979..height of the cold war..Soviet a huge communist country is expanding frontiers..) Soviet attacks Afghanistan with all their sophisticated weapons ,the guerrilla mujahideen struggles to put up a fight. Charlie ,an unorthodox senator with controversial habits and an opulent sex life, plans this secret war with a rogue CIA agent Gust.

Charlie was the House Defense Appropriation Committee member and increases the CIA covert operations budget gradually from an initial $5 million(ppl around the world thought it was a joke) to a whopping $1 billion. Its actually believable that CIA could undertake such a covert mission,but at the height of the cold war it should have been impossible.

I recommend this movie to all those lazy people who cant read.. others go to this link and read the biography its wonderful.
