Three Kings

I thought Three Kings was a good movie despite distracting me with the oil torture. I thought the movie was very effective in disrupting the way in which Americans viewed the Iraq war with Bush Sr. The movie even states that this war is a media war and that Clooney's character needs to play along. This movie shows how similar the Iraqi people are to the American soldiers with the shot reverse shot of Troy and the guy he shot. Also the scene after Troy was captured and he was talking with his captor, the movie makes the Iraqi people and what happened to their life after US bombing more real. Three Kings also disrupts the way in which the war was viewed by actually showing what happened to the Iraqi people who were tortured by Sadaam and how the US army willingly turned the other cheek. There was also a really good scene when the movie disrupts the intention for starting the war, throughout the movie Clooney and Troy's main motivation was finding and stealing Kuwait's gold. This represents America's true greedy motivations for starting the war to justify itself as a global power in a hope that this will fix its other problems.
