Charlie Wilson's War - Turning the Tide

Number 7 on the CWW soundtrack.

For those of us who deign to notice soundtracks during our movie-going experience, this was certainly one of those sit-up-in-your-seat moments. Whether you like or dislike this piece, it's certainly thought provoking - I happen to love it, but that's just me.
It's a true discredit to Handel that he's not credited for his contribution. It is his arrangement of the text that plays so well into the Middle-Eastern overlay, and his contribution is what adds the new, subtle level of meaning to the scene in question.
Nevertheless, it's good to see people haven't completely forgotten about the classics.

I was listening to this while reading about the NATO operations against Ghaddafi in Libya... It fits well.

Interesting use of this particular genre. I wonder how many people know it's from Handel's Messiah? I haven't seen the movie, but might have to after hearing this.
