      Y’all I’ve been watching Starship Troopers (1997) because I can’t find the remote control and it’s basically off-brand futuristic Top Gun and it’s terrible can someone help me find the remote

      Starship Troopers is pretty controversial, people can’t seem to agree on whether it lauds a fascist, militaristic society and its propaganda, or whether it critiques it. I’d go with the latter, Verhoeven is as complicated as Heinlein was, but I don’t believe he’s a fascist.

          This trivia from Prime Video app fits pretty well with the idea of it being the proposed “Space Force”....”It’s a very right-wing book.” 😂pic.twitter.com/wRA24kUJhy

          The movie is definitely a critique of the book, or at least calls it out on its bullshit, the book itself is ... complicated and definitely is a product of Heinlein's idiosyncratic libertarianism.

          Yeah, pretty obvious if you’ve read the book. Verhoeven’s stance is more evident in Robocop & Total Recall, he’s very much aware & critical of corporatism and totalitarianism, but also able to blend these themes with blockbuster action.

          The dude grew up in occupied Denmark watching Nazi movies as a formulating experience. He’s not a Nazi, and he hates fascism. But the subjects clearly fascinate him.

          Agreed. He's definitely fascinated by fascism in all its forms. Take Robocop, this is a world in which the fascists have already won before the cameras even start rolling but he finds a way to showcase at least people's best intentions.

          The book lauds it. The movie is mocking the book

          I listened to the damn directors commentary. Apparently the Allies once tried to bomb a German munitions plant in his town, missed, and killed a bunch of his buddies, when he was in second grade. That would mess anyone up.

          I remember being totally surprised that people didn’t understand it as satire. I laughed all the way through it.
