646f9e108c The time is the future. Johnny Rico joins the military after graduation to become a citizen and for the love of his high school sweetheart. In the war against the bug aliens of Klendathu, the military is a very dangerous place to be. Johnny works his way through several battles and with the help of his friends and comrades, helps turn the tide of the war, and save the human race.
Set on the future earth, Johnny rico is a young student dating a girl named Carmen. When Carmen decides to join the military in order to become a class citizen (citizenship is only achieved through serving your country), Johnny follows and joinswell. He soon realizes that he joined for the wrong reasons but justhe is about to quit, an asteroid that originated from the orbit of planet "klendathu" hits Buenos Aires (his home town) and kills his family. Johnny and his fellow troopers set out to destroy the planet's inhabitants: a type of deadly and very large scaled space bugs. Through a seemingly ordinary action flick, director paul verhoeven creates a subtle anti-war theme, that shows us a fascist and military world far more frightening than WW2's Germany, Italy or Russia, the kind of world that is actually functioning.
Starship Troopers is a rather weak film from director Paul Verhoeven. The special effects are, for the most part, impressive. The giant insects are well-designed and look realistic. The acting and the plot, however, take a backseat to the action. Not a single actor delivers a commendable performance. Everything about the film seems mechanical, including Verhoeven's direction. The first half of the film is about John Rico's life before he joins the infantry, and the second half is mostly one shootout after another.<br/><br/>As an action picture Starship Troopers works. It's entertaining if you watch it once. There's even some of that good old wicked Verhoeven humour. But that's about all there is to it. There's nothing to take away from this film. It's not a typical Hollywood product, but by the end it sure seemed like one. By the way, when the brain bug was captured I thought of Osama Bin Laden. The film's satire seems more relevant after 9/11.
The fascist advertisements in the beginning of the movie appear very appealing in their perfect society. We learn that after the fall of democracy, the veterans of war take over all of the Earth's government to for the Global Federation of Earth. The system works perfectly. Crime is mostly gone and sexismwellracism is nonexistentwell. We see in the game of Jumpball that the quarterback is Dizzy which is a woman. In the shower scene men and women shower together with no issues and no disclosure or privacy. <br/><br/>The whole system works on the idea that civilians can work someway in the service to become citizens whether it would be to serve in the military or help out any other way. The difference of a civilian and a citizen is that the field of civic virtue. A citizen accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic, of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not. Once a citizen you can vote and perform other tasks that a civilian could not do otherwise. In the shower scene a woman claims that she joined the service to become a citizen to make it easier to get a license to have a baby, which by today's standards may seem absurd but also kind of makes sense. The only restriction on having a baby today is grabbing any willing partner and preforming a certain task. This results is a beautiful creatures of life but not always are the parents willing to provide for the child. Some are left to fend for themselves which almost all are unable. Not saying a baby could survive on their own but it leave a lot of trauma throughout that child's life. Getting a license to be able to have a child is the government's way of securing that child's future.<br/><br/>The government's whole idea thrives on the idea of force. In the movie they talk about that force is the use of violence. Naked force has resolved more human issues than any other form. History is written by the victor. <br/><br/>In a lot of ways most would disagree with a fascist government but this movie makes the whole idea make sense. It's not a complete disregard for people's rights. It's more of a system where you choose to obtain more rights than others. You choose to become a citizen and there is no punishment for choosing to stay a civilian. Civilians still have the right to get a license to have children is just easier if you're a citizen. There is no segregation or separation it's just the idea of bettering yourself and the community around you and you are rewarded. Fascism is not good in a lot of ways but this movie's version is pretty good. What you should take from watching this film is motivation to better yourself and your community to become and asset not a setback. <br/><br/>Would you like to know more?

There are two songs, both performed by Zoe Poledouris (daughter of the film score's composer, Basil Poledouris). First, "Into It" was composed by Poledouris herself, and is available on the Starship Troopers soundtrack CD. The second song is a cover version of David Bowie's "I have not been to Oxford Town", with the word "paradise" instead of "Oxford Town". Zoe's version is unavailable; Bowie's original version is on his album "Outside". The Workprint is a pretty final cut of the movie. Some scenes, which focus on Carmen's love life have been removed for the Theatrical Release. In the Workprint it is clear that she sleeps with Rico, but after his supposed death shares some intimate time with Zander and finally gets back to Rico at the end. These scenes were removed because they caused a lot of animosity towards Carmen during test screenings(according to Paul Verhoeven, some viewers even asked him to "kill the slut"). Otherwise there are minor extensions/alternate scenes. Yes, Rasczak's provocative dialogue about Hiroshima has been cut out. Yes, and <a href="/name/nm0000682/">Paul Verhoeven</a> proudly confirms this fact on the commentary track of the dvd, saying that "everything you've heard about this scene is true".<br/><br/>Verhoeven wanted to show that equality between men and woman in the military had come to the point where they even shower together. For realism, he therefore demanded that the actors leave their modesty behind, and do the scene together and completely naked. However, the actors kept stalling and when Verhoeven kept insisting, they dared him to do the same. Without hesitation, Verhoeven and director of photography <a href="/name/nm0005911/">Jost Vacano</a> undressed and the scene was filmed. Yes and no. It is true that <a href="/name/nm0000682/">Paul Verhoeven</a> was interested in doing a sequel, so leaving the movie open-ended was partially intentional. However, Verhoeven intended the sequel to be a big-budget movie comparable to the original. Due to the somewhat disappointing box office result of <a href="/title/tt0120201/">Starship Troopers (1997)</a>, this idea was scrapped; the two sequels that have since been released were produced for the direct-to-dvd market on a significantly lower budget.<br/><br/>But more importantly, on the dvd commentary, Verhoeven explains that the final scene was primarily intendeda very cynical coda: it shows that Johnny Rico has become a full-blown mindless war machine just like Lt. Rasczak (he has even copied his war cry "Come on, you apes, you wanna live forever?") and that mankind still thinks they can win this war through superior firepower. In this context, the final tag line 'They'll keep on fighting' can be read'They still haven't learned anything'. Verhoeven admits that many viewers and critics entirely missed this subtext of the movie, and misinterpreted the final scenea statement of militarism, or a simple allusion to a sequel. <ul><li>The novel features an all-male Mobile Infantry and very little actual combat is described, while the film focuses on heavy action scenes and the love triangle between Johnny, Dizzy and Carmen. The romantic subplot does not appear in the novel; The Mobile Infantry is an all-male unit and the character of Dizzy Flores is a male trooper who dies in the first chapter.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The novel is told exclusively from Johnny's point of view, describing his hero's journey from indifferent high school student (Appreciation of Television is listed on his transcript) to elite cap trooper, and details the maturation process that entails. The film changes point-of-view focus between Johnny and Carmen (who in the novel never had any relationship beyond friendship).</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The absence in the film of the power armor that was a central plot device in the novel, and had an entire chapter devoted to its description and use (the power armor was eventually used in <a href="/title/tt0844760/">Starship Troopers 3: Marauder (2008)</a>).</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>While the original novel has been accused of promoting militarism, fascism and military rule, the film satirizes these concepts by featuring news reports that are intensely fascist, xenophobic and propagandistic. Verhoeven stated in 1997 that the first scene of the film (a conscription advert for the mobile infantry) was adapted shot-for-shot from a scene from Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will" (an outdoor rally for the Reichsarbeitsdienst). Other references to Nazism in the movie include the Gestapo-like uniforms of commanding officers, Albert Speer-style architecture and the propagandistic dialogue. (Violence is the supreme authority!)</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The Bugs in the film are portrayedgenerally mindless insectoid beings, ruled and organized by an extremely intelligent overmind. However, at the beginning of the film, when Rico and Carmen dissect Arkellian sand beetles, the biology teacher states that the Bugs have millions of years of evolution behind them and are, in the case of survival capability, the perfect species. They have the ability to colonize planets "by hurling their spore into space" and possess a social structure which fits their mental capabilities. In the novel, it is established that the Bugs have spacecraft, beam weapons and other advanced technology, far from the mindless insects of the movie. The book also describes themlooking like "a madman's conception of a giant, intelligent spider." Interestingly, the book also reveals that the Bugs "see by infrared:" though pitch dark to human eyes, the underground corridors of a Bug colony are well lit when viewed by the infrared "snoopers" used by the Mobile Infantry. Bug society is based on a caste system in both the films and the book. In the book, the "Worker Caste" and the "Warrior Caste" are both mentally controlled by the "Brain Caste", which works on behalf of the "Queen" of each Bug colony.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Johnny Rico (Juan) is Filipino in the book, although this isn't clarified until the final chapter. He specifies his native language is Tagalog and he suggests that there should be a starship named after Raymond Magsaysay (former President of the Philippines) due to his actions clearing Japanese soldiers from the Philippines in WWII.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The characters of Mr. Dubois (one of his high school teachers) and Lieutenant Rasczak are separate individuals in the book (Mr. Dubois was a former MI Colonel before becoming a schoolteacher and at some point lost one of his arms; Lt. Rasczak is an able-bodied commander that leads Rasczak's Roughnecks before being killed in action).</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Many elements from the book were used in the film, sometimes in a different context or way. These include: the book also opens in the middle of the story, and then makes a flashback to the beginning; Johnny's father disowns him after Johnny enlists in the army; school teachers trying to discourage students from enlisting in the army (a tactic to scare off applicants without sufficient conviction; Johnny Rico getting floggedpunishment for making a tactical mistake; Buenos Aires getting destroyed in a bug attack (which is a culmination of a string of earlier incidents with the bugs); Johnny's mother dying in the attack (but not his father,is implied in the movie - in the book it turns out later his father also joined the MI following the destruction of Buenos Aires); the defeat at the battle of Klendathu.</li></ul> Its revealed later when Johnny, Dizzy and Ace are in the Roughnecks that Lieutenant Rasczak, who was Johnny's high school teacher, saved him,Corporal Birdie says to Rico: "Who do you think saved your ass"? he was mistakenly listedKIA (Killed in Action)he didn't return with his unit during the general retreat. The card face up is the ones trying to guess. The card that flips over is his guest ( you can see him hit a pad when he says "Ace of Spades") Rico is trying to use mental powers to guess the card that is face up (which he can't seehe has his back to it) and (presumably so the computer can track his results better) he makes his choice on a keypad, which also turns out to be wrong.
