Starship Troopers
Yes, “Starship Troopers” is a goofy sci-fi picture about big ol’ bugs. But it’s also an incisive, satirical look at the dehumanization of soldiers that occurs within militaries. The potential soldiers who sign up to fight the big ol’ bugs in this movie are fed propaganda on the prospects and purpose of the fight. But once they enter the battlefield, they’re eradicated with frightening efficiency, becoming nothing more than anonymous viscera. Brutal.
