A quick thought
Starship Troopers is one of my favorite movies of all time. I was 13 when it came out, I bought a ticket to “Mad City” and sneaked into a showing.
Anyway, I was thinking it over yesterday and I had an idea, and it might explain why I and almost every guy my age loves this movie.
Starship Troopers causes an extremely intense cognitive dissonance in adolescent males: it presents the absolutely terrifying prospect of how if you join the military you might literally be ripped apart by a savage, remorseless enemy, but the upside is guaranteed daily co-ed showers.
