Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers (1997) is curiously foreboding in view of the 2003 US-Iraqi War, but it is also extremely fascinating because it opposes an anti-conformist vision of the sci-fi genre as it radically parodies the ideological military conservatism and pan-Americanism of Independence Day (Roland Emmerich, 1996) and yet, both films have the commonality of the new computer software, replacing ‘star power’ with massive special effects and “A human being has no natural rights of any nature.” Moreover, the book is multiracial while the film is not.
