It should not come as a surprise to any movie lover that sci-fi fans are still scouring through and discussing the depth of Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers (1997). A movie that was once derided as shallow or over pulpy has become an enduring cult classic – rightly so. Watching the film with a larger purpose in mind, one can dig up interesting and new viewpoints to consider. Specifically with regards to the conspiratorial machinations of the United Citizen Federation (UFC) and their necessity to wage war against the Arachnids, or any opponent for that matter.
