	"Three Kings"
		A typical review praised Three Kings for its “genre subversion, anarchic attitude and barbed political commentary… making cogent points about… America’s role as the world’s policeman.” This same reviewer even suggested that the film addressed “the amorality and lack of consistent principles in American foreign policy.
		According to the film, the United States is mistaken not because it intervened in the Middle East but rather because it did not follow through in its mission to save the good Arabs and crush the bad Arabs, a mission perpetuating neocolonial ideals.
		The heroes of Three Kings, in terms of the film’s logic, right the wrongs of the United States by saving a small group of Iraqi civilians, thus reproducing “the [neo]colonialist structure of the heroes’ relation to the native… [to] sort out the problems of people who cannot sort things out for themselves” (Dyer 156).

		Three Kings features the sort of self-consciously anarchic comedy which has dominated movies in the latter half of the decade to diminishing returns.
		Three Kings may not be as smart as it makes itself out to be (and its sentimental conclusion is pure drivel), but it's passably entertaining thanks mostly to the game efforts of its three lead actors.

	Three Kings Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		Set in the waning days of the Gulf War, "Three Kings" is a film that will be remembered for its manic energy and screwball humor, in addition to its incisive and unflattering portrayal of the reasons behind the U.S.-led liberation of Kuwait.
		The Gulf War portrayed in "Three Kings" is far-removed from the precision smart-bombing global-cop-makes-right viewpoint of popular culture-- instead, it is a cynical portrayal of a conflict born out of opportunity and avarice.
		Overall, "Three Kings" is a powerful film that is both well-conceived and brilliantly executed, transcending the trappings of your average war movie.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Three Kings (1999)
		Set immediately following the end of the Gulf War in March 1991, when the infantry is planning to return home to their families, Major Archie Gates (George Clooney), on the eve of retiring from the military, discovers a document that points the way to a stash of Kuwaiti gold that is worth hundreds of millions.
		Not your typical war film by any stretch of the imagination, and more unconventional than your average $50-million studio picture, the film is a graceful mixture of several different genres, including comedy, drama, and action, with a few minor war battles thrown in for good measure.
		"Three Kings" might have been nothing more than a passable diversion had the film not be handled with such technical creativity and skill.

		Although there is no scriptural basis for stating dogmatically that there were three wise men, the fact that three distinct gifts are mentioned has given rise to this traditional idea.
		Master artists throughout the centuries have depicted three wise men on camels as one of their favorite nativity themes.
		The number of wise men is not important, but the fact that they persisted in following the light that was given them until they found the object of their search, that they responded in worship, and that they returned home to share their experience with others all has much to tell us.
