Am i the only person who thinks the actor who played Mr Atto in this scene did a tremendous job?

Don't make the mistake of thinking because I grew up without running water I'm simple general. Fucking brilliant line.

I think another beautiful subtle hint of this scene is when Atto said "it's simply shaping tomorrow" is also referring to him eventually killing Aidid, which was never mentioned in the film.

Fantastic acting. The lighting and dialogue are outstanding as well. This movie might be known mostly for the gunfights & action sequences, but the quieter conversation scenes like this one are just as good!

2:34 "Arkansas white boys' ideas" - Atto means Clinton (president at the time), not Garrison. Kind of telling Garrison misses his point.

That Atto guy is really not simple. He was a financier of Aidid also the Mastermind behind the fall of Aidid. So.... He is really dangerous.

Some say Mr. Atto is enjoying his tea to this day.

Rest in peace Sam Shaperd, a wonderful actor

Fun Fact: The person who plays Garrison (Sam Shepherd) in this movie was actually older than Garrison in real life. He died in 2017 due to complications with Lou Gehrig's Disease.

man, what a blast of a movie... Even the dialogues are memorable...

"This is our war. Not Yours," Fantastic quote. This is why America should stop getting involved in wars that dosen't involve them to take part in.

"This is our war... nachos."

Great era of movies, along with saving private ryan, pearl harbor and enemy at the gates

I love the fact he mentioned Cuban cigar hinting the bad relations between Cuban and USA lol

Aato was a tremendous personality and this guy nailed him and his iconic dialogue of WAAN SOO DAAHAA

And Mr. Atto did in fact enjoy his tea, taking short sweep sips each time.

This is sublime acting from both sides. Its brilliant

I dunno why, but this is one of my favorite scenes.

Lowkey one of the best scenes in this movie.

He has Impressive skill of dialogue delivery

I always loved this scene. So goddamn crisp.

I've seen this black British actor in different films through the decades. Two of the more popular ones; Raiders of the Lost Ark and Harry Potter, last movie. He played one of the parents helping defending the school. Does anyone know his name? He did a great job here. He always plays characters with such confidence.

Ironically Atto was the one who actually killed Aidid.

Legend has Mr. Atto really enjoyed that TEA, that's the thing he did throughout the movie 😂

"I wouldn't know about that I'm from Texas." 🤣💪

One of my favorites of all time

Smoking a BBF from 2006 right now....very tasty and smooth. They need at least 3-4 years of age to shine. When they're young, they can be a bit too earthy/spicy and pretty strong.

The best scenes of all time

Everything Atto says is true. 100 percent. And he's wearing my exact watch. ⌚️

Soundtrack name : Tall King Dub by Badawi

I just realized the MH-60 flying aside was Super-62 which Gargy Gordon and Randy Shugart were on who gave their lives to save Mike durant. Nothiced by their faces and with Gordon's carbine and shugart's M-14 with a camo. Rip those soldiers

Did Mr. Atto ever call the guy back?

in Howard Wasdin's book he said this movie poorly depicted Atto. He said Atto was a skinny, terrified, coward who pissedhis pants when they interrogated him.

Brilliant acting yes. He did a lot with just this one scene.

Eventually he got tired of this business, became an Auror for the Ministry of Magic.

I was only in the military for 4 years, but one thing i know is, if you hear a little bird, you are not being asked.

Great . And he’s right

I just realized - the actor playing Atto is Kingsly Shacklebolt

Beautifull movie 🎥🤩🤤

"This is our war"

Mr Atto would end up killing his former boss. The American lives lost were in vain.

George Harris did some wonderful acting here.

In all the years of watching this I have just worked out the actor who plays Atto is the same guy who plays Morty in Layer Cake, great actor. Plus the double match to light a cigar shows a touch of class in an otherwise desolate place.

What a nice scene. Background light, place and others are well suitable for the movie.

RIP Sam Sheapered

Does an awesome job in the movie layer cake as well

Give Jaime Lannister a gun and he will stop a moving car with one shot

That’s the captain from Raiders of the Lost Ark. “I found him.” “Where?” “There!”

has the line " ... selling guns to Aidid's militia" caught anyone else 's attention besides me? The US army gets its guns from somewhere don't they? what's Garrison's point? why bother asking? it's not like he's on a higher playing field. (love this one scene; movie touches in sensitive

"This is our war, not yours".. guess what?? he's fuckin right!!

In the end it was this mr.Atto who back stabbed aidid. Funny

I found a company out in Switzerland that sells Cuban cigars and they sell the brand Bolivar which are one of the finest cigars out there. What’s interesting is that this company will directly ship to the USA provided you pay a small fortune. I forget what the company is called but I’m sure you guys can look them up.

Best smoke of all time, bolivar bellicosos fino

I'm not going to lie. Atto is the coolest villain in a Ridley Scott film. That includes Alien lol.

Music by raz Mesinai as Badawi, from Jerusalem under Fire (Roir Records 1997) tall king dub

Great choice. I've been wanting to try the Royal Corona. They look very good.

They both has a good point.

100% true. No place like Cuba.

“Miami my friend is not Cuba”. 💯👏

Good to see they're using match sticks to lite them cigars 🍻🔥

This is the movie that made me the fan of md 500 choppers,,, their sound is really good

I believe that actor played his role much braver than real Atto while captured by Delta.

Am I the only one who love the music ?

I love that clip don't you Raytown we won't say anything else

Mr. Atto (George Harris) nailed that role and held his own with the great Sam Shepard

ost in a background is Tall King Dub by Badawi

I want some of the tea

I would have ended with the line: 'It ended up my war when your General hacked to death a platoon of UN Peacekeepers for their food aid. You remember that while you enjoy your tea and our legally mandated hospitality. Because if it were up to me, I'd have done Somalia a favour and had you thrown out of the helicopter mid flight."

Badass scene.

The real Osman Atto was tall and lanky . His nick name Atto literally means “skinny “ in Somali , innocent looking face who probably never even smoked. Boy I tell you these movies are just for entertainment but far from reality lol Also Osman Atto was businessman in the construction business. He probably funded some militia but that is because the country was lawless

@roughrider119 Yes it is, I brought some in while traveling in South America... They are amazing.

For the record,Belicosos Finos from Bolivar are pyramides vitola cigars.

0:18 single shot through the engine block

“Damn that’s a shame that was a nice Jeep”

America should learn to let people fight their own wars & look after their own people back home .But so guess it all comes down to control

Hooten Young here - we actually made a cigar dedicated to the real-life mission that inspired Black Hawk Down, the Operation Gothic Serpent mission. Our cigar (and 6yr Rye Whiskey) both pay homage to the 30th anniversary of this mission. Check it out.

So for anyone who's seen generation kill, what is the difference from delta in this movie and delta "the reservists" following the force recon guys in GK? I'm not completely military savvy

the "arkansaw white boys ideas" if of course billy clinton he is talking about...

Whats the name of that wonderful song?

The Garrison Center the right of the River Market I used to talk to these guys all the time on 27555

Atto was right America needs to stop sticking their noses where they don’t belong

Well I wouldn't know about that I'm from texas 🤟🤟

Harris fantastic actor...prieseless scene

Which song is there at the start of the scene//

At least after shooting the car motor they knocked😂 , more than the police would do

I didn’t know Joe Biden was in this movie

Figured out what “you’re history” means

If you're in the US, I can trade you a COHIBA Pirámides Edición Limitada 2006 for 4 Royal Caronas. The Cohiba is out of this world.

I did gave that offer to Cuba as you asked who's fault

Funnily enough, it was Atto and his men who ended up killing Aidid.

2:58 "300,000 dead in the blink of an eye, and the whole world just effin' watched."

I wonder if he enjoyed the tea . . .

5.56 through the engine block?

Excellent performance, especially from a cinematic foreshadowing scene. Though I thought it noteworthy to mention a passage from Howard E. Wasdin's autobiography: "In _Black Hawk Down,_ he was a large man who wore nice clothes, cooly smoked a cigar, and ridiculed his captors. In reality, although he dressed in semiformal shirt and marcawi, he sniveled. Short, skinny as a broom handle, and shaking like a leaf, Atto looked at Casanova and me like we were the Grim Reaper coming to dispose of him. I almost felt sorry for Atto. Part of me wanted to give him a hug and say "it'll be OK," and part of me wanted to shoot him in the face. "Yeah, this is him," Casanova said. "I don't know," I joked. "Every time we saw him before, he was smiling a big white smile." Casanova looked at the interpreter. "Tell him if he doesn't smile we're going to beat the crap out of him." Before the interpreter could translate, Atto flashed a fake smile. We hadn't realized Atto spoke English. Casanova and I high-fives each other. "That's him!"."

Bolivar had a point.

1🇺🇲☕🥷🏽 AFRICA CRIES FOR HER CHILDREN AND SHE IS BRAVE...AND YES THE COFFEE AND CIGARETTES ARE GOOD THANK YOU...AND I DO NOT STAY BECAUSE I AM A WHITE LION...AND I AM...NOT God...

What is song name used in played in beginning of this videos

Morty really took a turn for the worst

Team USA - world police!

In a book written by General Boykin who was part of Delta and present at this interrogation, he stated that Atto (Otto?) was actually shitting and pissing himself during the interrogation because he was so scared. He wasn't the cool badass they portrayed him to be.
