Original Note:
Director of ‘Starship Troopers’, Paul Verhoeven, has stated his use of fascist tropes, style, & imagery in the film is a critique of far right politics. Eg. Recreating a scene in Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (1935) as a Mobile Infantry tv ad. https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/paul-verhoeven/ https://muse.jhu.edu/article/232310 http://thehollywoodinterview.blogspot.com/2010/09/paul-verhoeven-starship-troopers.html?m=1 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/425688 https://www.jstor.org/stable/23414533
