      Only tangentially related: One summer, it was brutally hot where I live (near the corner of Van Nuys & Roscoe in Southern CA), and I was flipping through the channels to find the day's episode of SST. The day before, we'd hit not just triple digit weather, but broke 120, so you can imagine that rain would be much appreciated.
      I happened to land on al roker (post-defattening) saying "Well, looks like we dodged a bullet there!", referring to a 15% chance of rain, predicted the day before, evaporating quicker than the rain itself would in 120+ degrees F weather. It was 7 or 8 or 9 in the morning, and already the temperature was just over 90.

    • @pwrserge83
      @pwrserge83 3 года назад +2

      @Gwyn and Gold ok...
      1. The Terran Federation is the exact opposite of "muh' fascism"... It is a meritocratic, voluntary service democracy. In fascism citizenship guarantees service, in the Terran federation, service guarantees citizenship. The contrast is vital. You can live your entire life in the federation as a civilian, and the only legal difference between you and a volunteer citizen is the franchise. (Which, affects your life not one bit.) As a civilian, you have no real responsibility to the state beyond taxes. As citizen, you can participate in the governing of the state, but have a responsibility commensurate with that power. If the Terran Federation was actually fascist, Jhonny's dad would have had that long rant about how citizenship is useless.
      2. During the initial invasion of Klendathu, they had no idea what the hell they were dealing with. They though they were dealing with mindless insects which made shock infantry tactics more than adequate. Don't forget, the Federation military had decades of peace where they had no near-peer enemies, which means that their military structure was more of a peacekeeping quick reaction force than a real military.
      3. Nuking the planet from orbit sounds like a great plan until you realize that most of the bug population centers are deep underground and more or less impossible to get to even with nuclear munitions.

    • @pwrserge83
      @pwrserge83 3 года назад +3

      ​@Gwyn and Gold Kinda, you have to do federal service. While most people serve in the military, it is not the only form of federal service. The whole idea is to demonstrate a willingness to sacrifice personal gain for the benefit of the federation as a whole before you are given a stake in governing the federation. It's not compulsory. In fact, it is even discouraged. You can live a full and happy life as a civilian with the only loss being the ability to vote or hold public office. That's the core ideal of the Terran Federation. It's the Cincinnatis model of service for the public good. Cincinnatis was a man who was elected, twice, as the dictator of the Roman Republic who was content to return to the life of a simple farmer once his services were no longer needed by the Republic.
      One of the reasons why I think this book needs to be mandatory reading for all children is to understand a very basic concept. Power over others can only be granted to those who have demonstrated a willingness to sacrifice personal benefit for the common good. The franchise is power over others, by definition. As such, it is a terrible responsibility that needs to be treated with the respect it deserves, not simply a tool for personal advancement. That is the core problem with the universal franchise. To quote Heinlein, "Something freely given has no value". If a person doesn't have to EARN the right to vote, they will put no value in their vote and simply use said vote to advance their own interests.
      I think the world would be a much better place if we lived under the guiding principles of the Terran Federation. Individual rights are universal. Power over others is only granted to those who have power over one's own desires. It doesn't matter who or what you are. If you demonstrate the ability to put the needs of others ahead of your own, only then can you be trusted with power over others.

    Looking through the comments, the one thing I don't see much spoken about is the driving sound design. That music that is played during most the battles. It really elevates the whole movie. I also noticed on a few of the sins, that some of them were answered in the movie at different points. Zander had mentioned he was shipping out to command school during the football game, might have been some type of ROTC type program. Also Denise's reckless leaving the spaceport, she mentions her instructors could not keep up with her and Zander tells her to not go faster than port speed or they get pilot privileges revoked. - Seems very nit picky- As can be seen in the comments this movie is much deeper than most people realize. The satire, the great actors that had smaller roles, It was really spot on. There is a reason it has been watched so much. I think at one time it had one of the highest DVD sales.

      Not only that.
      Considering that asteroids only move at a tiny fraction of the speed of light, this asteroid would take millions upon millions of years to hit Earth.
      Due to the low speed and star density, the boulder would likely be captured by some star rather than make it through to Earth.
      Even if these bugs could bring this asteroid up to the speed of light and maintain the speed the whole way, it would still take tens of thousands of years and the release of energy at the speed of light upon impact with the Earth would have destroyed not only the city but the entire planet.
      Assuming the boulder was from the Oort cloud or one of the asteroid belts, the question still remains as to why space surveillance could have missed the bugs operating in such proximity.
      How do bugs actually move through space?
      But another completely different logic error:
      If this asteroid has been traveling for thousands or millions of years, then the bugs must have sent it off all that time ago.
      Why should they do this?
      At that time, people were still relatively primitive creatures without space travel and no one knew anything about the other.
      Consequently, they were not at war with each other and had no reason to send the asteroid.

There is a very specific psychological reason why they do this, it is intended to complete upend the trainees life, and integrate them into a new culture as fast as possible. And also build a shared bond among the platoon by everyone hating/fearing the drill sergeant.

They all seemed pretty happy and obedient, because they were oblivious to what was really happening and they didn't question their government's propaganda that everything was great and only going to get better.
      Besides which, what else do you call the whole "Citizen" vs "Civilian" thing in the movie? Where Civilians can't vote, have to pay for education & aren't guaranteed a licence to have children. Whereas Citizens can vote, get free education and have priority licenses to have children. And the only way to become a Citizen is to work for the Federation, military, teaching or test subject.

    "At this point in their training, why are they not learning how to kill Bugs? That's exactly why they're here." No, they aren't. The initial scenes of the movie were the present day, then it goes back in time, hence why we see the exact same reporter and the same action later when they invade Klendathu. The humans were not at war with the bugs until the bugs attacked Earth via the giant asteroid that destroyed Buenos Aires. If you listen to the news clips in the movie it is postulated that the bugs attacked because of the humans invasion into their territory. So at the point in the movie you are talking about there is no war and they would have no reason to learn to fight Bugs.

    3:56 - it's explained in the film already that citizenship (and rights like voting or having children) is not just given, you need to earn it through service to the Federation - hence people joining the army as citizenship is guaranteed. It's highly likely that given the UCF was formed after a revolt led by intellectuals, going to Harvard (or equivalent) and then joining some part of government service would be a cushy (and safe) way to citizenship hence Rico's parent's demand.

      It was explained that the Intellectuals *failed* in their revolt because they lacked a moral science, which in turn is what allowed the veterans' governance to remain stable.
      The reason Rico's parents does not wish him to join is that most people are not Citizens but Civilians, free to do most things not directly involving governance, and joining the service carries an obvious risk of bodily harm.
      In their eyes, there is simply no advantage to sign up (politics are bollocks regardless) while there are some definite cons in time lost and risks taken.

    Verhoeven also directed Robocop, and you can see many similarities with the political satire, distopian militaristic society, and over the top gore. Robocop also incorporated a bit of propaganda like they do in Starship Troopers, but with commercials about war-themed toys and unabashed consumerism, as well as outrageous news briefs on tv rather than the "Would you like to know more?" segments. OCP and the Federal Alliance had similarities, and villains like Clarence Boddiger, his gang of thugs, Dick Jones, and ED-209 were represented by the bugs. Both great movies. But still the best scene in movie history is when Boddiger's henchman Emil crashes into the vat of toxic waste and gets run over and splattered.

      I've seen the movie several times, and a few things I'd like to point out.
      The movie is satirical towards Fascist propaganda. Sure the bugs might be intelligent, but media, the government, everybody is telling them that the bugs are dumb. Anyone who speaks out against what the propaganda or government says is considered unpatriotic and horrible. It shows this through the random commercials throughout the film.
      It's i.oed the bugs actually didn't send the asteroids to Earth (the humans had several ships that could shoot down these asteroids, and it was never shown the bugs had the ability to do so). It's more likely the humans attacked the area itself since a few people there were anti-military. They kill those people, use their deaths as propaganda, and boom now they have more support.
      The movie is actually a lot smarter than people give it credit for, and there's much more if you really analyze it.

    • @flatebo1
      @flatebo1 3 года назад +2

      @@rpsyco There may be more if you read stuff into it that isn’t there. But the movie is based on an existing work of fiction in which the very same events happen, albeit for slightly different reasons. In the book there is no question that the Bugs are intelligent. They use weapons among other things. In the book the Bugs preemptively attack Buenos Aires as the Federation is completely unaware of them prior to that attack. The movie, for some reason, wants the Federation at the outset to presume the Bugs are unintelligent - then makes the Federation deducing, then confirming, the intelligence of the Bugs a primary plot point. Which reinforces the idea that the Federation in actual fact did not initially think the Bugs were intelligent.
      Yes, they accept that the Bugs can throw an asteroid across the galaxy...because the Bugs can throw colonization parties across the galaxy. If the Bugs can launch colonies accurately enough across interstellar space to land them on planets orbiting far stars, they can launch a mere rock the same way with the same accuracy. There is literally no need to presume that the whole thing is some Federation-backed false flag operation.
      In general, if you want to learn what was going on that a movie based on an adapted work doesn’t cover, you can look to the source material for answers. That should be your go-to option. It might take a bit of creativity to reconcile the two (depending on how much the two diverge), but if/when they can be reconciled I’d think that would be preferable to just inventing new answers that are irreconcilable with both.

      I feel the same. I watched the movie first, read the book years later. At first I was disappointed that they screwed up the adaptation.

The book is completely different, and has a very serious tone. I enjoy them both immensely. The sequels of the movie, not so much, although at least in ST3:Marauder they have power armor. The animated episodes were great too, and I'm glad Casper Van Dien has held on to the role of Rico all this time. Hell, if they did a reboot (one can hope!), hopefully he would be in it. Maybe not as Johnny (DING) though, too old now.
      Man, now I want to go watch the movie AND read the book again..

    Remember when Carmen was impaled through the shoulder by the Arachnid when captured by the Brain Bug? Why didn’t she bleed out shortly after? That was a fatal injury for sure but she shrugged it off like getting a splinter.
