October 6,1999 FEATURES Carolinian 9 Three Kings' a New Spin on an Age-Old Tale by Alex Esmon Features Editor It's difficult to pin down people's opinions of the United States involvement in the Persian Gulf War. It has been eight years since the war that was sponsored by CNN. At the time of the conflict, American spirits were soaring. Our missies were bigger, and we knew how to use them. In retrospect, though, just what did we accomplish for the people of Iraq who were going to have to live with the remnants of what we left behind? Sure, we got Saddam out of Kuwait, but what did we do for the poor souls who had to remain under Saddam's rule? http://www. three-kings, com George Clooney stars as Major 'Three Kings," the newest Archie Gates in "Three Kings" film from director David O. Russell ("Flirting with Disaster"), probes the effects of a media-run war on the men and women involved in the combat, specifically the ways in which the Persian Gulf War—a made-for-TV special with live bombing feeds and a set of trading cards— caused a general atrophication of those involved. The film takes place just days after the cease-fire agreement had been signed. George Clooney ("Out of Sight"), in one of the finest roles of his career, stars as Major Archie Gates, a career Special Forces man who is two weeks away from retirement. Gates is rather upset with his current situation as escort to a news anchor (that should tell us who had priority). Mark Wahlberg ("Boogie Nights"), also in an incredible performance, stars as Sergeant Troy Barlow, a recent father and young man with a good life, a loving wife, and a go-nowhere job in an office building. Barlow is the prototypical All-Ameri- can boy, off to fight the good fight and protect his country. Watch for Wahlberg to shine in a confrontation with an Iraqi guard that can only be described as stomach churning and emotionally draining. Ice Cube ("Friday"), in a role so drastically different from anything he's done before that it was absolutely astonishing, portrays Cheif Elgin, a man who says he's protected and guided by "The Jesus Ring of Fire." As the airline baggage-mover tyt F K, (0 SI IIP Ian 1-1 Of 2000 Students:$350 Faculty & Staff: $425 Reserve space today, $100 deposit due at sip up. Sip- Up at the second floor of the University Center Price includes food and lodging in Steamboat Springs and transportation by van from Cullowhee.

Call 7206 or 7479 for more info. Sign up soon, space is limited!!! turned army officer, Ice Cube was very impressive. It comes to pass that these three men are confronted with the opportunity many just dream about. In a war in which so many felt they had no purpose, these three men find a cause: their own well-being. After finding a map in a very compromising place, these soldiers of fortune discover that Saddam has hidden over $40 million dollars worth of Kuwaiti gold in a bunker located forty clicks from the base. What these men find is much greater than any amount of gold. It also more horrible than anything they could have prepared themselves for. Remember: war isn't rational and the events precipitated from it are equally nonsensical. "Three Kings" offers a surreal perspective of a strange war. The camera work and the vibrant Ektachrome film make the experience a very sensory one. This was a war run by the news. This was a war of statistics and Bart Simpson. Adding to the surreal feel is an in-depth look into how a bullet travels through a human being and what the lead can do to the blood stream. This not the typical war-movie violence; rather, it feels like a medical channel special on bullet wounds. This is an incredible film, both visually and thematically. The Persian Gulf War was a confusing conflict, which had a strange and uneasy feel. You cannot watch "Three Kings" without being affected by the way in which our involvement as a nation is questioned and the policies that were in place completely slammed through both the dialogue and the action of the film . You will squirm when you see "Three Kings." No war film is easy to sit through. Some have incredible violence and others are just incredibly realistic. This film is hard to watch because, by the end, it feels hollow to be an American. "Three Kings" is an indictment of America and those people who made the decisions for the Gulf War. And what about that title? One of the most fun things to do is to search for a reason or a motive behind why a film is called what it's called. Some are very apparent and some are rather enigmatic. "Three Kings" parallels the story of the Three Wise Men, but it's up to you to figure out how. What, you think I'm going to tell you everything?! I can only hope that people embrace "Three Kings" as a powerful and necessary film which doesn't deserve to be dismissed as a movie that simply makes the military look bad. The military didn't come off looking bad—they were merely confused and misguided by the people in charge. Because this film takes the stance it does, it will be despised by some, and loved by others. I hope that when the time comes, the powers that be in Hollywood decide to give praise in a manner fitting a film of this power and quality. If we can hail a film about a philandering husband with a sick family as the best film so far this year ("American Beauty"), then certainly a film that depicts the Persian Gulf War in all it's green and dusty glory deserves a little mention around Oscar time. Perhaps George Clooney will also be recognized as one of the finest actors in film. His protrayal of bank robber Jack Foley in last years "Out of Sight" was one of the best I had ever seen. Maybe this year, with this new film pertaining to a very touchy topic, Mr. Clooney will get the attention he deserves. The Society of Physics Students Wants You! by David Heesch Staff Writer Care to discuss Einstein's equations over lunch? How would you like to travel to Atlanta and meet with 40 Nobel Prize winning physicists? Have you ever wondered how the Oak Ridge nuclear power plant works? Wouldn't it be great to gaze at distant stars through an observatory's telescope? If you are intrigued by any of these questions, you belong in the Society of Physics Students. Western Carolina University's Society of Physics students (SPS) is open to all students with an interest in physics and physics related phenomena. In addition to the activities mentioned above, the SPS have also taken field trips to Lake Fontana hydroelectric plant, Bad Creek research facility, the SPS regional research confer ence, and the Mountain Cancer Research Center. Although the SPS just had their annual picnic, they still have an exciting semester planned. They plan to present a physics "magic show" at a local elementary school. The SPS also plans an evening "star party" on the WCU campus, where telescopes will be set up for students. Other possible field trips include Clemson University, NOAA's meteorology office, and the SPS regional research conference. Remember, the society is open to all students, regardless of major or background. Most of the field trips are absolutely free. Fliers are posted before SPS meetings. Come in and check out our schedule of events. The faculty advisor for the SPS is Dr. Kurt Vandervoort. His office is #328 on the third floor of the Natural Science building. Stop by for more information about the SPS.
