Critiscm of the First Gulf War in Three Kings


I have linked to a criticle article on Three Kings, one that highly criticizes the United States government. This article covers the political context of Three Kings as well as give a brief history of the United States in the 1990's. After giving a brief summary of the film, the author gives what she thinks to be the emotional affect that the film has on most audience members.

Below is a passage from the article:


The filmmakers demonstrated the violence of war with their unusual use of
camera work, which included internal views of the human
body. The plot was detailed and clearly showed the
moral transformation of the soldiers. They went from being greedy, cocky and
ignorant to being empathetic toward the Iraqi people.
