Charlie Wilson’s Zen
Very brilliant movie, just a few memorable quotes.
A boy is given a horse on his 14th birthday. Everyone in the village says, ‘Oh how wonderful.’ But a Zen master who lives in the village says, ‘We shall see.’ The boy falls off the horse and breaks his foot. Everyone in the village says, ‘Oh how awful.’ The Zen master says, ‘We shall see.’ The village is thrown into war and all the young men have to go to war. But, because of the broken foot, the boy stays behind. Everyone says, ‘Oh, how wonderful.’ The Zen master says, ‘We shall see.’
“These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world …
… and then we fucked up the end game”
(Editor’s note: pretty much fucked up - someone would dare to say)
