With the power of one person, the fate of a country has been changed, and thus the fate of the powerful Soviet Union (the disintegration of the Soviet Union has a certain connection with Afghanistan), and the disintegration of the Soviet Union has an impact on the direction of the entire world.
Such a legendary story turned out to be rather clichéd.
Congressman Charlie Wilson has become a lone hero who doesn't wear two guns. He can't see his demeanor in politics, and his alliance with the rich Texas woman has also become a romantic drama. The whole movie even Less than two hours, according to past habits, too short is not in line with the specifications of a blockbuster.
In my personal opinion, the director of this film may have made the same mistake as the domestic directors, pursuing "elegant and harmonious, both elegant and popular", which has led to a big theme being clichéd. It might be better if it was dominated by speeches and debates and grand war scenes.
