Classic Charlie Wilsons War/Zen Master

Take each event in life as it happens...When all's well with the world, we should not be overjoyed. Every thing is temporary, life is always changing.
Hey listen to what I am telling you !! That don't work in politics or parenting 😂
'The crazies are rolling into Khandahar like it's a bath tub drain'.... 'You could depress a bride on her wedding day': That's intelligence telling it like it is and a well meaning politician!
I'm sure there are a lot of CIA employees who genuinely lookout for the good of other countries but real Gust Avrakotos wasn't one of them.
If they only knew the shit storm that was coming, sadly Gust did and they didn’t listen 😢.
ill give any script credit that can make hoffman or hanks sound anything less than the morons they were/are respectively.
Aliquippa
😂😂😂
That a huge number of Americans don't realize this led to 911 is part of the Zen Master story.
we'll see
The original ending of the movie as written in the script was even more depressing
1:30 Hey--listen to what I'm telling you. As the plane passes overhead. Foreshadowing 911. Gives me chills
The jet engine roaring in the background is eerie as it gets knowing what we know now.
The movie was made in 2007. The jet sound effect was not there by accident. It was the punchline to the whole movie.
The plane engines, foreshadowing used to masterful effect.
Knowing what we know now, pouring money on them never would have made a difference. You can't transform a tribal culture overnight with money. Or over the course of 20 years, as it turns out.
One cannot force another country to follow its own Dharma...Zen Master Blaster.
If you thought the war was bad, wait until you see the "peace".
Notice the sound of a jet in the background when he says to listen to what I am telling you. Foreshadowing
You’re not stupid. You’re just in congress
That film is interested
Not stupid just in congress. Best line in the movie
Sorry, I gotta call buckshot in this part of the movie. Give them money give them hope? Total BS. Plenary of people have been trying to “give the afghans hope” and it’s never worked. It’s a quagmire of tribalism, violence, and death and it was that way FAR before any westerner stepped foot there. Hell, even the Pakistanis, who culturally at least have some similarity to the Afghans have found it FAR easier to play just accept the situation and deal directly with the tribal warlords rather than pretend they could negotiate with any sort of “national” Afghan government. Sooooo many woke leftists think that if we just through enough menu into “education” that will fix everything. Sorry, there’s actually a lot that no amount of money or effort will fix and Afghanistan is one of them. A people have to want ti change before any change can actually take place… and the VAST majority of Afghanis don’t want any sort of change.
After WWII the US rebuilt Western Europe with the Marshall plan and Japan with grants during the occupation. It's the hierarchy of needs-- people have to deal with their immediate problems before they can move onto higher issues. And in Afghanistan, security has been a fundamental barrier to stability for generations-- and in most of the country there literally are no jobs or economic prospects except for soldiering or drug production. Of course the politics in Afghanistan are tribal and ethnic affiliated -- we had our alliances with warlords too. Tens of thousands of Afghans fought and died allied with the United States in the years after the Taliban fell. There's a narrative in the West that the Afghan army collapsed without a fight-- as if the Afghan army wasn't fighting in a hundred places for years while the US took troops out of direct combat (the entire Trump administration).
You clearly don't know any actual leftists.
@@planetarysolidarity Ha. I know plenty of leftists. There people like you who think they have an answer for everything. Including how to “fix” places like Afghanistan, all while being someone who’s never gotten out from behind a cushy keyboard job. So go ahead, oh great safe, tell me how you would have saved Afghanistan? Stayed there for a thousand years? Spent trillions and trillions older no appreciable changes in Afghani outcomes? Go ahead, fix it. Get out from behind your keyboard and do it.
So a democrats caused all this mess in Afghanistan. It was a democratic congress after all!
And he was a republican....both can feel good blaming the other cult lol. Nobody could have known what would happen, don't be stupid
AND many years later, the US ran out of Afghanistan faster than Usain Bolt
Oh sure, build roads and schools. That'll do it. An OK movie ends w/ a lot of Hollywood drivel. Par for the course.
Pre 9/11, no one paid a second look to a low flying aircraft. Post 9/11, no one can't look at one without having a pause.
Winning a war is great.... but none if it matters if you can't win the peace.
What a film
GIVE THEM JOBS and GIVE THEM HOPE
yep, divide and conquer should be followed up by prosperity and happiness for the conquered mass (or leadership, potentially). if not you likely have to use force and funds to keep them where u want them, and that is unlikely to be sustained by a home populous thousands of kilometers away for a protracted period of time.
"Hey....Listen to what I'm telling you." As he dumps Charlie's drink... and that look of both. One of the greatest moments in movies.
And the sound of a low flying aircraft. 911, anyone?
Yoooo, i didn't catch that@@alexanderpanaretos9364
~❤️~
F.C.B.
August 2021. We should have listened to the zen master and not fcked up the endgame.
Will see
America fails again .
Relevant
the subtle sound of the airplane foreshadowing the 9/11 hijackings
Sage advice, “we’ll see”
The Afghans beat the Soviets - We'll see
they have beaten the US too.
@@reductio1000 and the Macedonians, Mongols, Sikhs British to just name a few more
i miss Philip Seymour Hoffman sad he had to go kill himself
And we are still...there
What's the movie
1:27 - the hint of things to come. The jet liner flying past. Gust is trying to warn Charlie that Al-Qaeda is moving into Kāndahār. (9/11 will happen in 12 years) Very eerie scene.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
@@jshepard152 Only a moron would describe a huge fuckup that will come back to bite him in the ass as "hindsight".
@@reductio1000 Only a moron thinks 9/11 could have been predicted in 1988. If you predicted it or know someone who actually did, then show evidence. If you didn't, then my comment is 100% correct and you can shut the fuck up.
@@jshepard152 butthurt much aaah..... yes.
Is part 2 of series about o'bummer and sisi?
This is the such a powerful scene.
"there is no such thing as a Zen Master", said the Zen Master.
We'll see
@@19730116 No you won't. You don't know how to look, let alone where to look.
@@19730116damn, best me to it
The Zen Master is Nobody. Nobody is listening.
My Birthday
For-shadow like a MoFo at 1:26.

Gust is the zen master.
Seen movie several times. Would love to know WTH did Philip Seymour Hoffman say to Tom Hanks between 1:28 and 1:42? Please someone provide info
He doesn't say anything. Tom Hanks is simply reflecting on what he was already told by Gust.
Donald Trump said the system was corrupt and disgrace, and he said he wanted to make America great again. We'll see, said the Zen Master.
... except donald trump was the face of the biggest problem that no one talked about for decades... czcams.com/video/qkH0xGUgR0c/video.html
