Starship troopers was made by the same guy who made RoboCop another movie whose message goes over people’s heads. RoboCop is about privatization, police militarization, lack of government oversight, and corporate greed.
Memory, how memory affects reality and a person’s identity and views, even if that’s a false memory.
It’s also about a person’s desire to rise up against corporate corruption while a corporation stifles his desire to rise up. (Why rise up against oppression when you can just implant a memory that says you already did)
The second part of my meaning is of course if you subscribe to my belief that the entire movie after he leaves work and visits Recall is a false memory, since “hero saving Mars” is one of the recall memory options.
Like … so many movies from that time period are grotesque warnings about “unfathomably” wealthy and powerful corps running the world. Pure scifi/fantasy at it’s best, right?

I watched robocop way too early and same with starship troopers. I totally understood the robocop message, but somehow not the starship troopers one.
As someone who grew up in a country which was invaded and fucked with by the u.s, I got starship troopers right away.
