“La guerre selon Charlie Wilson” is a movie talking about the response of American policy during the war in Afghanistan in 80’s. The director, Mike Nichols, wants to show how one man (Charlie Wilson), the delegate of the Second District of Texas, is changing his way of management, by being totally dedicated to a major cause: helping Afghans to fight against the URSS.
At the beginning of this movie, we immediately understand that the principal character (played by Tom Hanks) is a real seducer and a “bon vivant”. His way of managing policy is short on credibility and a little bit careless. In fact, the first “plan” focuses on his negligent behaviour, using hard drugs in middle of a Jacuzzi accompanied by beautiful women...
But further on in the movie, this man is becoming different. Tom Hanks is absolutely perfect in this role, we can really feel his emotions. One of his many mistresses suggests that he go to Afghanistan, to see the disastrous and awful situation the population faces there. Charlie Wilson becomes totally shocked and at this moment, everything is going to change for him. Then, we understand that with a lot of will and some good allies, you can do anything.

I think that this movie is really interesting but you need time to focus on it. It’s a complex and difficult story that is handled well. In my opinion, the subject is a smart choice and the actors are really good in their roles, especially Philip Seymour Hoffman (Avrakotos). Every appearance of this character is funny. I really had a good time during this movie. I really love movies which talk about History and furthermore, this one makes you think.

Tom Hanks's character is so funny in this movie, it's incredible to see the difference beetween his personality and the importance of his political job. I have spent a very nice moment with this movie despite the usual symbol "God bless America"
