Starship Troopers

They showed that one over here a few days ago and I finally got it. Maybe because I´ve been gone from the US for so long.

The entire film is mocking the US. It was so obvious. I must be slipping a bit.
 
I couldn't sit through the whole movie it was so flat and lifeless. It was like the actors were reading off of cue cards.

Ever read the book?
 
Book? No.

Yeah, I can´t believe the academy snubbed some of the brilliant performances in that one. I thought the "Want to know more" propaganda stuff was very well done, however.
 
The book is wonderful. Ahead of it's time. The movie is a rape of the book in my opinion. It's cheesy.

I read an editorial about how it kinda mocked the Nazis, using primarily blonde haired blue, eyed characters with lots of propaganda movies.

Great movie though.

I agree, I thought it was a hell of a lot of fun, if not great cinema.
 
The book was great; if you like it, read 'Armor' by John Steakly (? is that right ?); I liked the movie too, but I like battle-fi; and well-done "B" camp movies.
