Three Kings

I could have sworn that I did a review on this movie, maybe I talked about it in the Iraq War thread. This was an excellent movie. At first it seems like a comedy and then turns very serious. It shows how greed and no empathy are the highlight of war no matter if you are on the good or bad side. True lessons are learned, especially how non-US citizens view the USA's invasions of other countries. How id you rate it?

Now there just might be a part II?

Kings Three

I saw this movie a long time ago, but remembered thinking that it is so easy for a few soldiers to make an entire army look bad. The 'Three Kings' were acting out of pure greed and if I remember correctly it caught up to them. I'll have to watch it again to get some more facts straightened out.

It started that way, but they they realized that there were many that needed their help and they forgot about the gold and were willing to sacrifice everything to give them aide. I believe the director wanted to show just what entices war and the few humanitarians there are in the world are changed by it.

I saw this again a couple of weeks ago, I believe it was the third time. Watching it now reminded me so much about what is going on in Iraq, in fact the brutality of the Iraqi people against each other (mainly those with weapons vs. those without) is portrayed well in this film. I am surprised no one else has seen it.

I've seen it, it was a few years back but I remember most of it. At the time I watched the movie it seemed like Kelly's Heros set in the Gulf War. Parts of the movie that I felt were done well were the sheer bureaucracy of the military, the power of the press, and was one of the few movies to really show what Iraq under Saddam was like.
Another good movie set during the Gulf War was Bravo Two Zero. I think the BBC made it.

I don't know, but I do not think this movie got as much publicity and hype as it should of, but maybe this was because of Hollywood's anti-war chant - this was a great movie, not to mention having U2 as their theme music being the icing on the cake!

It was a George Clooney movie, that's plenty of publicity and hype. I thought it was an anti-war movie, it definitely didn't show the US army in the best light. Not that the truth is much better, but... oh well.
