CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Charlie (Tom Hanks) and his friends watch as the television announces the end of the Soviet Union's reign, due to his success in Afghanistan. In a private moment, Gust (Philip Seymour Hoffman) warns Charlie of the implications of the Afghan victory.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Produced by Tom Hanks, written by Aaron Sorkin, and directed by Mike Nichols, this adaptation of George Crile III's incendiary bestseller tells the remarkable story of the Texas congressman whose efforts to prevent the Red Army from overtaking Afghanistan eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union while simultaneously fueling the rise of radical Islam. In the early 1980s, a hastily assembled army of Afghan "freedom fighters" achieved the remarkable feat of fending off Soviet invaders despite the fact that the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against them. At the time, Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (Hanks) was a key member of the hugely powerful House Appropriations Committee. Illuminated to the specifics of this remarkable war by a high-profile Houston socialite, Wilson spearheaded an effort to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons and training to the Mujahideen with more than a little help from brilliant but prickly CIA operative Gust Avrokotos.

The sound editor who foreshadows 9/11 with fading out the music and fading in the airplane flying overhead as Gust says “Listen to what I’m telling you.” is a stroke of genius.
I did not catch that. Thanks.
He didn't listen obviously right
He grabs his drink and throws it into planter. That is serious.
@@Baboi62182 He did listen.
He asked Congress for money to build schools in Afghanistan but they refused because they thought the mission was accomplished once the Soviets retreated and simply did not care about rebuilding Afghanistan after a decade of war.
This wasn't about Saudi Arabia tho'
The airplane sound effect was truly a marvelous bit of directing.
Da. How's Afghanistan yanks? Getting dead bodies regularly? How does karma feel?
@@muchentuchen6592 man shut yo hammer and sickle ahh up
Goosebumps

@@Ferraridude13 thanks professor
"You're not stupid. You're just in Congress." Such a simple yet epic line from the great Philip Seymour Hoffman. RIP.
Garrus1995 Rip. Such a waste.
He didn't write the line, Sorkin did
@@jacobjorgenson9285thank you :)
The Soviets lost and there were no problems in Afghanistan ever again.
We'll see.

Ah yes, the unintended consequences, lots of those to come out with the sanctions that are flying about. We shall see.
Hoffman: Listen to what I'm telling you.
Hanks: Listens to airplane sound.
2001: you will see😔
That's underrated mate..... Truly underrated
1993. The basement of the WTC car bombing. I remember watching that live as I was laid off from work and watching the morning news at my now Ex's appartment.
"Listen to what I am telling ya!"
They didn't.....and they still don't.
There is a funny and educational channel called history matters, and the last video so far talks if afganistan is truly the graveyard of empires.
Well, when usa breaks apart i think it could add more arguments in favor of that question
i dont think vets from afganistan or irak support democrats
That story is actually real. Its a Taoist folk tale meant to demonstrate that you don't know the effect of little things on big events.
There is a poem/saying in with no particular origin but was made popular and standardized by Benjamin Franklin. For Want of A Nail.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
“Not for nothing …” Aaron Sorkin’s favorite childhood saying that he inserts into every screenplay which means nothing but takes the edge off the condescending remarks that invariably follow.
RIP and long live Philip Seymour Hoffman (July 23, 1967 - February 2, 2014), aged 46
You will always be remembered as a legend.
"[Afghanistan] became the first country in history to defeat the might Soviet Union"
Poland: Am I a joke to you?
Bri Ba 1919-1920, Poland gained around 200km east of its former border

^#/*[ out of them! 🤣
They just couldn't keep it up forever (plus they'd already lost what they were fighting over).
Reminds me of Sorkin's endorsement of foreign aid in West Wing. Danny makes the point that foreign aid is about self-interest. We stopped funding agriculture in South America and a bunch of the farmers switched to growing Coca. We stopped funding schools in Iraq/Afghanistan and all the kids went to Madrassas. Changed my mind on foreign aid. Sometimes its better to spend a little now to avoid spending a lot later.
The madrasafication was deliberate. Only problem is that you expected the consequences to flow eastwards but they flowed westwards.😂
God I love Phillop Seymour Hoffman. His acting is so phenomenal in this movie. Especially this scene. RIP man
Nice story. The Greek used to say: never count a man happy until he's dead. Why? Because there's always time for everything to go sideways.
Another saying: If you think the war was bad, wait until you see the "peace".
Foreshadowing with the plane sound effects 9/11
No, al-qaeda did it. Wow, Saj. Living under rocks lately? Got any proof???
Seniper vs iran
Horatio Nelson the original ending was supposed to be much more blunt, Tom hanks is such a boomer he used his star power to change then ending to happy :(
@@pauljohnson3340 Al Qaeda were part of the faction who were fighting Soviet and were aided by US
@@pauljohnson3340
They are all the same
Oh come on, the stingers, didn't win the war for the Afghanistan people. Everyone knows the real history, that Rambo single handedly went up to defend the people. Yup, true story. Lol
😂😂 good one
So you’re telling me, Rambo trained the people that eventually did 9/11
RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
amazing foreshadowing by sorkin when gus is explaining what is going to happen and the sound of the airplane flying over head..we left before the job was done and the animals took over the country and the road to 9/11 began
Yes, who would've thought nefarious elements of America with international connection would stage a false attack on America , not that it hasn't been done before
It's not our leaving that was the problem, it was going there in the first place.
The Taliban was considering extraditing Bin Laden, but they asked for proof that he was behind the 9/11 attacks.
The US invaded Afghanistan instead.
@@loganvanderwier8866 Are you for real? The taliban would have never done that. Bin Laden admitted to it!
@@SocialAssasin As far as the government of Afghanistan was concerned, these were just him taking credit for something he could not have possibly done, which is totally legal.
"All activities of Osama are controlled by us. He cannot speak on the telephone, he has no Internet or satellite phone facilities to contact anyone," Mr Zaeef said.
While I do admit that the Taliban could have just been engaging in posturing, the US did not take them up on their offer.
@@loganvanderwier8866in the gov's eyes they had to look like they were doing something to avenge the attack. Especially since there wasn't an immediate retaliation from us after 9/11 happened and the Pres just sat there like an idiot after was told the news.
"The era of Soviet military intervention is over" and the era of American Military intervention has just begun
no, it would just continue
@@swoletariat3697 lol, that's what my comment means, the U.S. is much more involved in foreign countries and their affairs than it has ever been
That begun in the born of the usa in 1783 and continúes!!!
Was it ever over?
nope not now
Thank goodness we put a stop to those dastardly Soviets building hospitals and schools for the Afghans. Creating the Taliban and al-Qaeda was strategically brilliant
Philip Seymour Hoffman in this movie killed it. RIP
Foreshadowing at 2:39
+Michael Casey that was sharp michael
case myers 9/11
So, this is how the madness started. Now I and the rest of the world want to see how it ends.
With the USA descending into as much anarchy as the USSR did in the 90s.
@@VoiceOfTheEmperor so true.
the civil unrest within usa will be fueled by angry vets
there are rumors that biden could be in a kennedy situation
That airplane engine haunts me everytime I watch this scene. Probably it do Charlie when he first saw the movie.
Didn't notice the airplane sound... Ominous foreshadowing
It is called Blowback. Unintended consequence's of an operation. 9/11 was Blowback for leaving Afghanistan in disarray after helping Afghans defeating the Soviets
i made 6 full combat deployments and a half of another one to Afghanistan....HE DID NOT LISTEN.
He couldn't get a dime allocated to rebuilding efforts. So the Taliban took control in the Afghan Civil War and we all know how things played out.
Who all are watching this after Taliban takeover Afghanistan again
I am 😀
2:49 it was a foreshadow of what is to come on a building from a plane
What goes around comes around…
The Americans though would’ve been salty af if they knew this is probably what the Soviet leadership did when Saigon fell
Lol. Except shortly after, 1 million fled vietnam on rafts.
@@MrAussieJules whereas Afghanistan was sunshine and rainbows after the Soviets withdrew
Will look at how China feels now
The Vietnamese weren't beholden to the USSR or China. They took their money and weapons but weren't going to be their puppet.
All those who don't know why the crazies took aver afghanistan, and all those who blame Pakistan, look at the this last scene very carefully!
Right because Pakistan can do no wrong....
Who do you think sent in the crazies? They're not coming in through the Iranian, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Chinese or Turkmenistan borders, are they? Just one. The Pakistani border.
edthehead916 give a man a fish you feed him for a day , teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
Americans sent only the money and equpment. It was the Pakistanis who chose Osama Bin Laden over moderates like Ahmad Shah Masood. They wanted a weak Afghanistan.
Ol' Gust was right!
I assume he was talking about the taliban?
Mujihadeen actually, after the war a lot of them kept their firearms and ruled Afghanistan as despots and warlords. The Taliban was actually formed as a council of tribes to combat the Mujihadeen warlords and reunify Afghanistan, of course in time they too would abuse their power, just like whoever runs after the Taliban are done will.
@@Freshie207 They were basically supported by backward savages in villages.
@@Freshie207 You were far too optimistic
And they lived happily ever after!
Funny how this is popping up, during the fall of Afghanistan
Yeah...well, we'll see.
the historical revisionism in this script is astounding. The idea that the mujahadeen fighters they armed and the "crazies rolling into kandahar" arent... the exact same people? we know everything there is to know about this period, and this script does its best to tell exactly the 10% of the story that makes america look well intentioned and not the 90% where america happily funded whoever it needed to fund to beat the soviets including and especially brutal and psychopathic islamic fundamentalist armies
I think every man in a profession of a gun should see this before taking an oath. It's a vicious cycle when the objective repeats itself. The Zen Master, "We'll See"...
I didnt get it
Poland at 0:08 "Am I a joke to you?"
Beware the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the wrath of the Aphgans
Alexander the Great
The USA helped Afghanistan and Afghanistan was forever grateful and never ever bothered the USA never ever…
I am Afghan, you people have peace and we have not, we want peace, you can take the war
Love from India, Bhaijan
but america needs your oil
Not in a million years.
Every superpower failed to succeed in wars after WWII. Afghan, both Soviet and USA lost many lives, Vietnam, Iraq,.......
and now we are there doing the same thing the Russians did ...
@Brooke B ohh yeah what about the Vietnam war?
@ a war that the us never should've involved itself in.
@@21kindness45 can’t agree more
@@zeromegalez5670 this gonna be worse than vietnam outcome within usa
French Indochina war and the Vietnam war are actually a mistake, even the current war of Afghanistan is a mistake. Iraq war is a mistake too.
Plus, the Taliban are too stupid to handle right now, they can’t even divide the nation so the Hazaras, the Afghan government can have their own nation.
And now America taste their own gift
What you sow thou shall you reap..
Did you know that the Soviet Union did the same thing that the coalition did in Afghanistan, it built roads, schools, hospitals...don't believe everything that was in the movies.
And once again, breaking crap without a replacement plan leads to no good.
USSR did a good job relative to 2021 USA. They left in an orderly and honorable way.
The Soviet installed government lasted till 1992, a whole 3 years after the departure.
@@MrDocDamage So Biden will fall sooner than Gorvachov?? sounds fair to me.
You mean by desacrating places? Yep kind of legacy that they left 😂😂😂
They also slaughtered a hell of a lot more civilians. Rapes, massacring whole villages, and planting toy like bombs were common. Hell, it makes the Saudi War in Yemen look mild by comparison.
Exactly.
2021 : we will see
"The retreat of American military power from Afghanistan is complete. The last of America's regular army invasion force is out..."
Moral: the winners will be winners
No matter how big enemy they have to face
21 century real heros Afghanistan freedom fighters" Talibaan "
Temujin would disagree.
Ask the Khwarezmian empire.
Right
"the end of soviet intervention in other countries is now over" aged well :)
Theyr is no soviet Union
Afghanistan was the second nation to defeat the USSR. Poland beat the Bolsheviks in the Polish-Bolshevik War of 1919, and successfully prevented the Red Army invading Western Europe.
The Soviet Union was established in 1922. So, that is true that Afghanistan was the first country to defeat them.
@@JSolar590 right
Afghanistan Was first country who defeat USSR
It just keeps changing players...
Best scene from the movie
Its the lesson we (the US) seem to always fail to learn except after WW2. If you choose to break something, you have to be prepared to fix it. Otherwise, what follows may be worse.
1:02 Will see..
In his 2011 book Afgantsy, former British ambassador to Russia Rodric Braithwaite describes the film as "amusing but has only an intermittent connection with historical reality.
0:45 hope to have a new version
@PPKDude852 the Soviet Union was a socialist state on the Eurasian continent that existed between 1922 and 1991. The Pollock war was before the Soviets became a Union.
Should really be called "Zbigniew Brzezinski's War."
We'll see.
ussr's vietnam
Yeah buddy
Coyote Duster So true, some people have even called it quite appropriately “the Soviet version of the Vietnam experience.” or even “Desert Nam”
I guess you could call it (drumroll) Sovietnam?
No Vietnam became one of the best developing countries in Asia while Afghanistan is still a Shithole
@@travisbickle4360 After they adopted a free market economy.
We’ll see. We saw.
*Laughs in Finnish* (0:05)
Laughs in Polska
I loved this film!!!
THE ONLY COUNTRY OTHER THAN POLAND , which clobbered the Red Armyin 1920!
True
What about Estonia in the 20s
True true
Pretty sure the Fins have something to say about that as well.
@@VoLCoMzYaDiGG i agreed
Mike Nichols’ one great weakness: politics. He didn’t care about people on that level. His politics are superficial.
truth wins n falsehood perishes
n false hood is bound to be perished .........
The irony!!
Thank you DELTA CHARLIES
Give them hope 🙏 missed it again
To bad we missed most of the movie clips weren't in the 1 to 9 segments We lose the real gravity and feeling impact
The full
greatness of this clip is lost by editing off the end.
God he was good!
It’s easier to convince Congress to give away a billion dollars in weapons then to spend a penny on education.
hahaha the Russians laughed at Afghanistan and now they've lost more men and equipment in Ukraine in one year than America and all its allies lost in 40 years in Iraq and Afghanistan combined despite Ukraine being on Russia's border and the other two being half a world away. Once again to the Russians, 'Here's to you, you motherfathers'
There also Ukrainians under Soviet banner back then in Afghanistan , buddy.
One pointless war ended so that another one begins. And again and again
2007. Only what we knew now.
The USA had a chance to rebuild Afghanistan.
The feelling of revenge about Vietnam was more stronger than the feeling to truly help the reconstruction of Afghanistan after the soviet's defeat...
If you want to eradicate the islamic terrorism, well you must take out the poverty in the islamic peoples.
Non sense war it will cause more hate to the Western Societies.
Joshua Parrott well said. To rebuild and give any tribe a piece of land..
Afganistan is the first country to stop soviet invasion and Vietnam is the first country to stop American freedom might :v
first country to defeate the soviet union ? the heck happent to Poland ?
But little did they know, the afghans would use their own weapons on America.
2:25 - 2:45 mark. "Listen to what I'm tellin' ya." Serious. It's even more so today America.
Do good have good.
Now same is happening again in Afghanistan against USA.
Be careful what you wish for.
First defeat of the soviet union in history. Poland: I don't think so. Finland: We hurt so em so bad they can barely say they won
Tall about being prophetic
New Hollywood film should be make on humiliation retreat of us army from Afghanistan left billion of dollor equipments behind .
That’s how USA founded taliban
so thats a couple still dancing now ? 🤣
We would have been better off never getting involved.
Fu***d up real bad
Who else is here after the inauguration?
They showing soviet are villian now they are also support villains 🤣🤣
if only we had done that humanitarian effort.
At the end every country withdrawal same like Soviet
Same Picture but different party
US lost and ended up running away August 2021 leaving behind 80+ billion in weapons. LOL
😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂👌😂👌👌
