'You're Coarse.'' | The Broken Window Scene | Charlie Wilson's War | Screen Bites 

It's a perfect little I love you too 😉

just like in the park when he tears off the sugar packet with his teeth and puts the empty in his suit pocket. great actors make great choices.

It was a subtle way of Gust saying, "You're welcome." 👍

The line that got me was "...people who know how."

He was dignifying her in her typewriter

I was just thinking the same thing. It's really a loss for cinema that he died of a heroin overdose. The guys was a veritable fountain of talent and apart from his family who no doubt feel his loss more keenly than anyone else American cinema and audiences have been deprived of one of the great actors of our time.

He’s leagues above Dicaprio in every sense

Picked such good roles too

Sorkin loves his Gilbert and Sullivan.

Gotta disagree - the funniest scene was "I wasn't listening at the door, don't be ridiculous. I bugged the scotch bottle." "What?!" *camera pans to the scotch bottle*

“There’s a microphone on the scotch, a receiver in my ear, get past it.” 😆

"Why do elected officials say one thing and then do the opposite?" "Well, tradition, mostly."

"Thats a little paranoid."

"Well you're no Thomas Jefferson. Let's call it even..."

He knew the details of his bosses affair. Probably had recordings.

The secret to grabbing your bosses by the balls is keeping all their secrets, professional and personal, and let them know that you know

Without actually telling which secret you know about

"MY LOYALTY...?" Cravely insulted Gusts's accomplishments, his work ethic, and his nationality. Yeah. I would've smashed his window again too. And a few other things.

Its Roger sterling actually

Because where he would have been stationed would have required him to be on listening boats. Can't do your job and run an operation if you're puking up your guts...

Helsinki is a port city.

It's a reference to the light opera HMS Pinafore, by Gilbert and Sullivan.

Not that complicated buddy

@@rederic2004 Points to you, budd! Nice catch!

Its ok when America does it. Only when Russia does it to America, that is when its wrong. Got it.

'cos this is the norm for USA... 😂

Watch the end of the movie

One of the greatest actors of all time and you don't think he might have been great at keeping a secret from people in his life?

Actually they knew he was using again and were trying desperately to get him help. But he kept telling them “I’m not ready” in regards to getting help.

An actual Zen master "We'll See" turn of events.

@@joestallings So very true! It would've been interesting to see what would have happened if the U.S.S.R. never collapsed and we were still in a cold war. Would we have ever been involved with wars in the Middle East? Would 9/11 have happened? Or would we have all died in a nuclear holocaust? Who knows! But it sure would've been interesting to have seen!

And the real point of the movie is that by doing so and not helping rebuild Afghanistan after we used them to fight a proxy war it made a lot of people in Afghanistan very mad at the USA.

Which guy ...? The one with the glasses and mustache was played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman ... ... a brilliant character actor, who, sadly, let the daemons of his addictions get the better of him ...

in what ways?

​@@zakatalmosen5984 It is on historical record that, after the formation of the CIA from the OSS during WWII, its most biggest, and expensive operation, was in funding the Mujahideen to kick the Soviets out of Afghanistan ... ... in exchange, the Mujahideen requested funding to rebuild schools, hospitals, and all the infrastructure that the Soviets had destroyed ... ... but Congress, whom I believed was in Republican control during the Presidencies of Reagan, and H. W. Bush - I was only 16 -18 at the time, so I can't remember - blocked that spending, even though it was far less than expended in providing especially single use, surface to air, Stinger missile launchers ... one single shot only. As Gust tried to warn Charlie Wilson, using the fable of the Buddhist Monk, and the Young Boy, seeming insignificant events turn out to have not so insignificant outcomes ... The failure of America to follow through with help rebuilding Afghanistan, is, according to many experts (cf. Frank Gardner) the flash point that caused the eventual rise of the Taliban, and a son of a relatively unknown, rich, Saudi Arabian family, the bin Ladens ... As for the material left behind ... allegedly, it would've cost more to bring it all back, than to write the lot off, like a tax loss .... As for what will happen next in Afghanistan ... "We'll shall see ..." ...

You would be overacting if you were passed over for significant promotion, after spending years in clandestine operations, and knowing there were legitimate people out to kill you, that's how good you were, just because a manager with an extensive, and expensive, private education, almost half your age, was made your boss ... ... then denied said promised promotion ... Denial of promises made seems to be the running theme of the actual events that took place, between a US politician and a spy, both with the same names: the entire premise of the film is based on the US backing of the Mujahideen in kicking the Soviets out Afghanistan ... ... but failed to follow through with the much smaller expensive of helping rebuild what the Soviets destroyed ... which eventually would give rise to the Taliban ... ... as for Afghanistan, now ...? "We'll shall see ..." ...
