- Back and forth conversation between Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Gus (Philip Seymour Hoffman) gives Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) a bottle of scotch as a present, which is bugged. Why would Gus bug it in the first place?
Philip Seymour Hoffman stole every scene he was in during this movie. Do you agree?
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) SYNOPSIS: Based on the outrageous true story, Charlie Wilson's War stars Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman in the film Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times calls "wickedly funny."

"Me and 3 other guys." 🤣
"...we're working on it."
It’s relatively amazing how frequently that’s the situation... LOL
I love that line!
Greatest line in a movie ever lmao!!!!!
Literally how this country happened ha.
Charlie: Is there a camera in here?
Gust: Now that’s a little paranoid.
😂🤣😂🤣
He didn’t say no lol
He cut the clip off before the best bit:
Charlie: If I open this, it won't explode will it?
Gus: I don't think so, but open it over there (points to the far corner of the room), just in case.
@@draco84oz 🤣😂🤣😂
Paranoid Polaroid
i was just about to say that.....hahaha
One of those good movies that didn't get the recognition it deserved. See it if you haven't, it's a true story and Phillip Seymour Hoffman nails it. So does Hanks.
It's too bad he loved heroin more than his own life. The greatest actor of his generation. Had a lot of life yet to live.
@@soundhealer6043 The point of the movie was that we had a chance to help these people out after the Soviets left and potentially stabilize the area (to some degree). But, we didn't follow through with relatively inexpensive practical projects to actually help the people, after spending billions on weapons, and instead left it a bathtub drain where the biggest bully on the block ruled by terror. If anything, it showed how inept our political system was and still is with regards to the allocation of our tax dollars.
And the book (and story) is even wilder. Superb movie - and as you said, it didn't get the recognition it deserved.
But then neither did Charlie Wilson or Gusav Avrakotos - at least not outside the CIA. Within the CIA, they are both revered.
@@thinkcivil1627 There was no chance these people fought for Sharia law. They were not gonna change. The entire war started because the communist government banned child marriage and promoted female education.
@@travisbickle4360 I think most of us understand that. There's lots of reasons why this area of the world has been at war and will continue to be unstable. But, there are practical things that the average person in that area needs and we were in a position to help them. Politics aside, the average citizens of these countries lack the basic needs and at the very least, this would have been an opportune time to have gone in there and done this. We missed that brief window of trust.
You cut off one of the best exchanges
Charlie: "You're no James Bond"
Gust: "You're no Thomas Jefferson so lets call it even."
Charlie: Laughs "deal"
A LOT of great dialog in this movie!
The rest of this scene in his office is amazing.
Charlie: "Do you drink Mr. Avocados?"
Gust: "Oh, God yes!"
Charlie: "Well should we try this bottle of scotch or will it release sarin gas?"
Gust: "Well it shouldn't but open it over there"
as a non native english speaker, i don't get the subtlety of that. can anyone explain?
@@Yodavid1 Which portion would you like an explanation on? The first part referencing James Bond and Thomas Jefferson or the second part about opening the bottle of Scotch?
James Bond is the name of the most famous fictional spy in the English Speaking world, he's known for being suave and clever, basically the perfect image anyone in the West would have of what a spy should look and act like. Thomas Jefferson is one of the founding fathers of the United States and considered one of the greatest statesmen of his time. They're both saying the other is not like those characters, Gust, an American Spy, is nothing like James bond and Charlie Wilson, the Congressman is nothing like Thomas Jefferson. They're insulting each other in a funny way.
The second is a Charlie joking that the Scotch might have a poison trap included due to the speaker bug that had been placed on the bottle. Gust is continuing the joke by saying that while it shouldn't they should be cautious opening it in case it is in fact trapped.
@@Dabclipers thanks
That zen master and the little boy line is so important
Says the Zen Master
perfect set up , great writing.
"We'll see."
Philip Seymour Hoffman was such a great actor. Every movie he is in, I just love him. His voice is stellar.
That's why i have seen "Mary and Max" 100+ times.
@@esIworldMary and Max was another underrated classic...
I could do without 'Boogie Nights", but that's just me.
Also Punch Drunk Love.
Legendary performance by Hoffman!
Totally agree & nearly all of his performances are legendary. He was an incredible actor & sad that he passed away at such an early age.
i do agree never has he shown how versitale he was as an actor
He absolutely stole this movie.
"I bugged the scotch bottle. Get past it. Now..."
Loved how nonchalant he was about it. Especially when he's like "now that's a little paranoid".
"That's a thick door!" Haunts my mind all the time.
*THICC*
It lives rent free in my brain and randomly surfaces, and I live with the torment that if I make the reference, absolutely nobody will understand it.
This was one of those movies that when it first came out it was easy to shrug off-- it didn't grab you from the trailers and the subject matter was like who cares? but of course all that is way off -it's a true gem...a hidden piece of gold that's way under rated.
the actual story is important, but definitely well produced.
You are so right. I watched it because it came on HBO and I was, ah, what the heck. I was disappointed I had not watched it sooner. I was glued to the TV for the length of the film.
Describes a lot of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s movies unfortunately. He was a great actor who I feel wasn’t appreciated nearly well enough during his life and it’s a tragedy that he’s gone
"gem" is not the right word. Tragedy more like. And then the US did it *AGAIN* 30 years later.
They actually took a scene off, showing 9/11 happening in the beginning when Charlie was getting that award because it made Hanks uncomfortable. That was a huge mistake!
4:11 makes me laugh every time. "What?!" head snap, camera zoom
Same!!
Then he talks to the bottle, "Who the f, who the f*** are you...!"
Absolute comedy!
He seems so outraged.
I forgot he tried telling the Zen Master story so early on!
"Who's the prosecutor?"
"Rudolph Giuliani."
That aged like fine milk.
I miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I believe he was one of the best actors of the last 40-50 years. This is such a great scene in a criminally underrated movie.
That unmistakable voice fry that is Philip Seymour Hoffman.
characteristic Aaron Sorkin dialogue. Dude can write!
Hah, the R Giuliani name-drop hits different now that he has been suspended from practicing law.
Also, the "who" is great as well.
It's amazing to think of where Giuliani was around 9/11 - and where he is now....
I like to say "THAT'S A THICK DOOR" whenever I open one now.
I love this scene! Comedy gold! I come back every so often for a laugh.
I also like Gus yelling at his boss.
"In the end, we f**ked it all up!"
- Charlie Wilson
Still true, 👏👏👏
Hoffman was and still IS my favorite actor. He was such a gifted actor that NO ONE will ever be his equal. God Bless you Mr. Hoffman.
Stellar cast!!! Scene after scene where they just nail it.
This is one of my absolute favorite movies. The dialogue throughout the film is wickedly funny.
this is one of the more underrated movies of the past few years.
Amazing moment when his staff walks in. Tells you a lot about the guy’s hiring strategies!
Wilson did not interview for new staff. He held auditions.
IMO one of the greatest performances by an actor ever. Hoffman was flawless in this movie.
Old saying "You can spend an hour telling somebody what you're capable of and they probably still won't be sure of your abilities, or you can take a few seconds to show it to them"
Love the poker faces of the secretaries as they discuss the depravities of their own boss with their boss.
They are not the secretaries, they are the congressional staffers. Show some respect - they basically run the whole place.
@andro99991 They're secretaries. Same thing. What they do is what secretaries do. And what secretaries do is important. They can sometimes run the whole office.
@andro99991 Why on Earth do you think it's shameful to be a secretary? And why would "staffer" be more respectful than "secretary"? It's a title used for some of the most powerful and prestigious positions in many countries (e.g. Secretary of State).
@@cariboubearmalachy1174 Staffers write policy proposals. Secretaries do not.
@@cariboubearmalachy1174 And where on Earth did you see that I said being a secretary was shameful?
Staff is called “Jail Bait” LMAO
I always figured he called them 'jail-bait' as a reminder to himself to keep his hands off.
jail bait is just the short one
She's hot a.f
I love this movie. There were great performances all around by Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
If you love this, try The Post. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
"Get past it" 😆
“Get past it.” 😂
"Rudolph Giuliani, do you know him?"
Boy do we ever and wish we didn't...
We do hear about him nowadays more than ever.
Man you’re sad lol
Because of performances like this I just miss Hoffman so much.
I totally get why the girls on his staff were called "Charlie's Angels"....
It makes sense since Charlie's Angels was a big deal on TV back in the late 70s.
Hence when he called them “Jail Bait!”
@@OffTheCouchFishing only one was called Jail Bait, the shorter brunette all the secretaries all had nick names.
Reminds me how good Phillip Seymour Hoffman was. I really enjoyed that movie. Think I'll have to watch again soon.
Lmao Rudy was the prosecutor!
And he was good at his job.
@@johnharris6655 changed days....
@@johnharris6655 He also prosecuted John Gotti.
And many years later Rugy G + Borat II
@@eoinMB3949 Who's going to play Rudy when he learns that he's being indicted?
A terrific movie based on many facts that seemed to show that Afghanistan could have stood a chance if things had been followed through the way Charlie Wilson had *tried* to do.
Finding this today, when Ned Beatty has passed away reminds me of his well-played part in this film as well. An all around terrific cast.
Also see "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot"-- The US completely fucking up yet again in Afghanistan 30 years later (and the book The Taliban Shuffle that it's based on).
xDDDD
Riiiiiight.
All we had to do was do things the "right way" apparently all those billions we sent them for schools, roads, establishing an actual government, elections, raising and training an army was just not enough.
Spare me this Trotskyite garbage.
The world outside of the "rules based, international word salad" doesn't want American degeneracy exported to it under the label "freedom." They've seen the desert you made of Libya that you named "democracy." They're not blind, nor are they stupid.
Having spent five years living and working in Afghanistan I can say with confidence that it never stood a chance to be anything than what it was and is now. It's just never going to be a modern, stable country.
@@HillTrekkerSarge
Modern? No. Stable, yes.
The key was like Charlie said, right after the war we should have invested money in restocking the goat/sheep herds, paving the roads, building up schools, hospitals, infrastructures, and making it obvious that we were the ones responsible for helping the Afghans defeat the Soviets because as far as they were concerned, the weapons came from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
When over half the population is under the age of 14, that is the time to go in and do everything to make sure they love you, but instead we let the "crazies rolling into Kandahar" be the ones who the young population became endeared to.
If the US is expected to stabilize every shthole in the world then we would go bankrupt.
"How could you even....THASSA THICK DOOR!?!?" Thas great acting😂😂BRAVO!!
i read the book when it came out, and I was so excited for this movie when I saw the trailer.. and it totally held up. great, though comic, re-telling of real US history.
Philip Seymour Hoffman & Tom Hanks hit their roles to perfection.
Hoffman....when you see him in other roles....
this was just amazing. even his voice.
I never knew who he was, I would have pictured the actor for "Gus" as. well, in real life being Gus.
I could watch this scene over and over again its just amazing job by everyone in it
they cut another funny line man...
"if i open this bottle will some sarin gas come out?"
"no, i dont think so, but open it up over there" 😂
Sorkin the screenplay writers wit was really showcased in this movie.Every scene a gem.
AND many years later, the US ran out of Afghanistan faster than Usain Bolt
Okay liar.
2 absolute legends!
that was funny when he said he didn't know who Guliani was
The script writers in this movie had so many gems of character interaction it reached the level of a creative genius.
2:44... Absolute comedy by Hoffman.
If the real Gus is ANYTHING like what PSH portrays, he’s a true baller
Amazing scene.
One of my favorite movies.
"How could you even-- THAT'S A THICK DOOR!"
LOL.."...that's a thick door, You stood there listening to me?!" "Don't be an Idiot, I bugged the scotch bottle, its got a transmitter on it, I got a little thing in my ear, get past it....".. Man, I nearly forgot about this movie.. It seriously got overlooked.
Such a great scene.
He has a regular Charlie's Angels team there.
Absolutely underrated film. ❤
What a great little movie
Seen it multiple times. It's a wicked movie.
They were great side by side.
Several very good actors and actresses in this scene.
2 masters at work. Really good movie.
We have the same map on a wall in our conference room and I work for the U.S. department of a state so I applaud them for that little touch.
I mean department of state not a state.
And there's a party going on right now where my imposter is acting a fool and stealing
I love this movie.
Legendary scene
Probably my favorite Tom Hanks movie!
Jesus, they're brilliant. Miss ya, Phil.
Holy cow, that's Amy Adams!
She's gorgeous
At least three films I can think of where Hoffman and Adams were together: Doubt and The Master the other two.
@@keeperofwickets1781doubt was really overrated.
Hoffman was too good to leave us.
Most US Spies did not look like James Bond. They looked like Gust and Tony Menez. Average guys who could blend into a crowd. Ben Affleck could have never been a spy, he was too tall and people would have noticed a tall American in the Tehran Airport. Tony, who was of Mexican heritage had dark skin and was about 5'10" just like an average Iranian man. People are going to notice a handsome, well dressed man, like Bond, no one would give Gust a second look.
Tom cruises could because nobody would look down
Fact!!!!
@@irishboy_pa : That depends on what he was doing ;-)
Maybe because Bond is a BRITISH spy.
Bond is based on a real spy. Plenty of spies are good looking.
It takes very special powers to make that door thin
Good movie!
When you lived about seven houses down and your father was not only good friends with Congressman Wilson, but worked in his political campaigns, it's hard to watch without making comparisons.
Lower voice, prettier women, (hey, i may have been young but...), and i would encourage anyone interested in this epoch of American History to invest some time learning the huge amount of history excluded from this Hollywood version of a great story.
In fact, Congressman Wilson was in my dad's office telling him the whole story having JUST returned as i walked into the office and was told by my father to come in and sit down (after the Congressman and I shook hands which I did not need to be told to do).
Please allow a non-plot comment: Congressman Wilson was loved by, and was loyal to, his constitutes. I saw him at a meeting where he spoke (I had just joined my father's insurance practice) having not seen him for 6 or so years (college). He recognized me immediately walking across the room to ask after my dad. He always treated me like family, as we say in the south. Low and loud voice that now makes me wonder if he was a little deaf, always dressed in a "high-dollar" suit and yes, often with "Las Vegas" looking, show girl type females around him. I heard him say more than once, politics was invented so ugly guys could get..., well you know.
I loved this movie, so funny in a scary kinda way.
Once upon a time ..... Hollywood made movies like this ❤️
Once upon a time America paid for someone else to win a war against Russia. Today they are doing the same thing again 😂😂😂
1:29 me and 3 other guys. LMFAO 😅
Is there a camera in here?well that's a little paranoid. 😅😅
One of Hoffman's best
Such a good movie.
Love the subtle nod Aaron Sorkin gives to 'The West Wing' in this.
What’s the subtle nod?
The President's Chief of Staff, in 'The West Wing', had a secretary who had a habit of listening at the door ...
Margaret was slightly unhinged, but she ran Leo's office like a finely tuned Swiss Watch ...
"Rudolph Julianni, ever heard of him?"
"No"
Lucky
Amy Adams also starred with Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master.
such a grerat movie Hoffman deserved a best supporting actor award for this movie, I really mis him
Made even better cause the man was from my hometown.❤
Exactly how we would react. "Spying on me through a thick doowa?!?!". Tom Hanks even managed to pull off our accent with it coming across as insulting. Which is nice. I swear it feels like the direction actors get when told to speak in a southern accent is: Sound 10 times more retarded than Hollywood thinks southerners are.....
It’s done on purpose. Hanks is an exception but making the south look uneducated and malicious is part of hollywoods agenda
But he still wanted the Scotch. LOL
I love that part. Will you take the bug off my scotch bottle.
CWW was an incredible movie-all did a great job, tho the real life Charlie Wilson is the coolest, most straight-up friend you ever had-the guy who TRULY ‘gave no fcuks’-by LIVING IT
This is why I never go anywhere or do anything or talk to anyone. Because if you do, people will mess with you like that.
I got a little thing in my ear get past it...😂
I love PSH. RIP
taking notes on like 5 different puzzles
Perfection. Better than Wag the Dog.
thats it. I have to see this movie.
Really, really good script and one of those rare films made for grown ups. I also recommend Bridge of Spies (2015) with Hanks and Mark Rylance.
I love this movie. Thankfully I have it on DVD. Thank you.
Amy Adams is a Timeless Goddess
I bugged your Scotch bottle, get past it.. we’re buds, right…?
I miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman!
Hello I just read this Tom Hanks is an amazing actor.
Because now everything's AMAZING?
I like Tom Hanks he is an amazing actor you do not like Tom Hanks?
When he calls Gus back into the office he yells for Gus to come back into the office but he's not yelling that much louder then Charlie and his girls were talking. So why does Charlie think Gus should be able to hear him to be called back into the room but can't hear their conversations?
My thoughts exactly. 😂
if i was a senator, i would want all four of those women as my 'aides' too
Good movie
