Gust Breaks The Window (Hilarious Scene) | Charlie Wilson's War

[@glennhoddle10]

Philip Seymour Hoffman was an amazing actor. He always commanded every movie scene he was in. The world lost a true iconic talent when he passed on. RIP Sir.

[@kaimamoonfury1335]

He didn't command any scenes in twister. Imo.

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

He was one of those actors where if you saw him on the billing you knew the movie was automatically worth watching.

[@jimthiel478]

Enuf drugs anyone can act

[@kayellee7202]

​@@jimthiel478Maybe, but mostly actors only need the drugs when they're not on an acting gig. Ditto for some athletes, like Lawrence Taylor. Too bad it's like that for some people.

[@DipDuckDive]

@@jimthiel478he was sober for over twenty years. He slipped and admitted himself to a rehabilitation program. He was sober again for 6 or 7 months. Then, he opted to use and died. This is common among addicts. He had a disease and it took his life.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

"People who know how" is such a great line.

[@claudioveliz9834]

That last little thumbs up amplifies the beauty of PSH's command of the scene by a factor of 1,000. Brilliant writing + brilliant acting. A terribly underrated film.

[@christianromero6604]

Y do people like u say "underrated"...this movie got phenomenal reviews....u must b too you young or naive to know.....this film was lauded w awards and reviews......unless ur just a bot, in which case I'd like I cant even say I feel sorry for u but disdained anger for whoever put ur stupidity out here

[@r.j.martin1818]

Underrated by order of the "C" fucking "IA."

[@CS-er3ib]

"My loyalty?!" Perfect delivery.

[@TheFaveteLinguis]

This scene couldn't have become legendary without this small, but absolutely hilarious interaction 2:53. This dramatic confession that he risked his life and being screwed over by a rose-cheeked half-aristocrat and then little acknowledgment that it was not only an emotional exchange but also an act. Actor who plays a spy, who performed a calculated tantrum and know asks for acknowledgment, that he was impressive in his acting.

John Slattery also did good by not overshadowing PSH the main character. He got great dialogue in Mad Men.

Probably a bit of both. Hard not to appreciate PSH railing at the director, full "thunder and lightning". This is EXACTLY how these people need to be treated.

I remember watching this scene in theaters. And I knew it would be replayed so often in my head and online!!!

[@morgan4212]

Sad to see him gone He was genius

[@scottreiburnNYC]

PSH. What a legend. Imagine all the incredible films he would have made had he been here longer. Thank goodness for those performances he gave us. He will be talked about and admired for generations. This scene he’s terrifying, hilarious, dramatic, complex, all at once. Unreal.

[@WobblinGoblin1]

This should underscore how terrible drug use/abuse is. PSH had *just* achieved status as a legit legendary actor...and then POOF he's gone because drug use claimed him. We never got to see him in perhaps dozens of incredible films or performances he most assuredly would have had completed.

[@iecrime]

Hard to believe it's been over ten years already.

[@jfranks1295]

PSH - I smile and shed a tear every time I see him in his glory. And that last line is great 😊

His last performance was as a German spy version of the CIA. And it was great. Called "A Most Wanted Man". Very understated movie with lots of great performances.
