This review discusses a lot on the political aspect of war, featured in Three Kings.
The author mentions how "one of the most consistently misunderstood and misrepresented peoples in the eyes of many Americans are members of the Arabic nations, a fact made painfully clear since September 2001".
The review also discusses how the film explores the Persian Gulf War, ideology of the film, and also gives a non-oppositional critique of the Gulf War.

Three Kings: neocolonial Arab representation

Lila Kitaeff gives an ideological review of contemporary media through the film Three Kings. The article begins by exploring the current events leading up to the war. Kitaeff gives facts about "Arabs" and President Bush. The first section that focuses on Three Kings directly is the part entitled "The Gulf War on film". This section begins "Three Kings (Dir. David O. Russell, 1999) is a complex film exploring the ramifications of the 1991 Persian Gulf War." Following this is a basic movie overview which leads to the next section, "Non-oppositional critique of Gulf War." These upcoming paragraphs will show a sorting of the main character's individual film history.
