”In Starship Troopers, the Western and science fiction genres find a new generic partner: melodrama or, more specifically, nighttime TV soap melodrama in the tradition of Beverly Hills 90210 (1990-2000) and Melrose Place (1992-1999). ”It has become clear, in these last decades of decadence, decline, towering institutional violence, and rampant bad taste, that American life is stuck somewhere inside the Paul Verhoeven cinematic universe.” In some ways, it’s a pleasure that it all became true, but on the other hand, there's not much pleasure that it came true.” There’s a lot of parallels with what happened after September 11, of course – not just in the obvious ways of shooting rockets in tunnels, at the Taliban, or the ‘Arachnids’ in the movie – but also in the function of propaganda and spinning. “ Starship Troopers was more me reflecting on American politics – to a certain degree, domestic American politics.

And those memories will always brighten your heart and take away your fear. Hiro: Didn't you hear Nall? Every day we spend together, we're making more memories. Don't you understand? it's up to you to decide whether you'll be alone or not! Ruby: I don't want to grow up, Hiro! I don't want eternal life! I want to be with you forever! I don't want to be alone!
