[edit] Removed link
I removed a link to an article purporting to analysis the political subtext of the film. The article was poorly written (terrible grammar, occasionally garbled syntax) and appeared to be a high school essay. It also made several absurd inferences, i.e. that the film was an attempt to prevent the re-election of George W. Bush or to attack the idea that Saddam had chemical weapons. It was not informative in any way, extremely speculative, and not up to the typical quality of Wikipedia references.
Someone should mention the cinematography of the film, which was quite good. Three Kings used a washed out look to make the desert seem more desolate, same as Jarhead. Also, they used the "bullet cam" shot long before CSI came around. We also HAVE to work in a reference to the 'Iraqi Ass Map'. --129.252.176.46 17:17, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- Done. —Nate Scheffey 05:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clooney quote
Does anyone have a link for the George Clooney quote about the film being "overly political"? A) it needs a citation and B) it doesnt seem to jive with Clooney's other political projects (ie Syriana) and it would be nice to get some context. --Wesman83 16:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- EDIT- nevermind it says overtly, not overly. my b. still needs a reference tho. --Wesman83 18:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA FAILING
As per the style guidelines, this page shound include a Reception section, which should include:
| “ | Expanding on the second paragraph of the lead section, you should analyse how the film was received by critics, meaning professional or well-known film reviewers, and not comments from members of the public (for example, quotes from users of Amazon.com and the Internet Movie Database do not count). Websites such as Rotten Tomatoes ([1]) and Metacritic ([2]) collect professional film reviews and calculate a numerical score from them for each film. In the case of what the general public thought of the film, tend towards the expression "money talks" and provide a summary of the film's commercial success, consulting sites such as Box Office Mojo ([3]) and Box Office Guru ([4]). | ” |
