Ironhold Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 With Starship Troopers, what you need to remember is that: 1. The movie started out as an unrelated B-movie script until the studio got the rights to do an adaptation. 2. Director Paul Verhoeven lived through the Nazi occupation of his home country, and so by his own admission he conflated the government outlined in the book with the Nazi regime and so wanted to burn his own movie to the ground rather than participate in something he saw as promoting fascism. Tell your friend that if he wants to talk about it, he should really be looking up the book instead of the movie series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
