Can’t let those boobs ruin the violence and military propaganda for the children.
You understand that it’s satire, right?
Yes, satire military propaganda. They also didn’t actually bring aliens on set. The aliens have a union and demanded pay that’s way too high for the budget.
The book itself wasn’t, and also not a case for satire - it was a play on showing a militarist society based on values that (when it was written and even now) were highly atypical for militarist societies. Satire is honestly too a genre of propaganda, Heinlein was much deeper a person.
You understand the sarcasm of words, right?
I’m doing my part!
I just read the book for the first time, and I have to say the adaptation (sort of retroactive lol) was pretty good for the book.
The book was brilliant though. It also includes a few treatises on why fascism is the closest thing to morality that people have.
On the one hand, the arguments are absolutely gorgeous and it’d be good to get them in the political discourse. Honestly, great exciting stuff. On the other hand, they were good arguments and you could read that book as a manual.
In the end, whoever suggested this book for this movie really did something remarkable.

The only good bugs a dead bug!
(I only feel this way about mosquitoes BTW, insect populations are declining at a terrifying rate)
