We have had a lot of imaginations about the future. There are utopian ideals and dystopian futures. At the beginning of this film, through the perspective of future TV, we understand that our future is set in this film. War, War is the eternal main line of human civilization. It can also be said that our future needs enemies and wars. So when we enter the age of the universe, we have a new enemy. This powerful enemy, the Zerg, has made us united and established. Commonwealth But we have also entered an era where civilization and barbarism coexist.
War is savage and violent, so in that high-tech and highly civilized era, war is also full of savage breath, and the best place to express this savage breath is the mobile troops that have made the greatest contribution to human warfare. , in that training camp we witnessed their brutal growth. The male protagonist entered there because of his girlfriend. When he decided to leave because of the double blow of command error and lovelorn, the war broke out once. After losing his family, he joined the war between humans and Zerg under the anger of hatred. In the war, he lost friends, teammates and lovers one after another, and his heart began to become more and more cold. When three friends from the former campus reunite, the war has changed them, and many of them will do anything to win.
The battlefield between humans and Zerg is carried out in the most primitive and barbaric way. The face-to-face confrontation between humans and Zerg has their own blood to carry out the baptism of war. The battlefield is full of various wreckage. This is a savage war. There is no trace of civilization.
In this film we can clearly see that in the future we will have nothing but war and hatred. The civilization that mankind is proud of will eventually be lost in the war. At the end of the film, it is very dramatic that humans capture the mind of the Zerg and the war continues, but the identities of the protagonists have changed. They have become heroes of mankind and may also be victims of future wars just like their predecessors.

Starship Troopers quotes

  • Sky Marshal Dienes: We must meet this threat with our courage, our valor, indeed with our very lives to ensure that human civilization, not insect, dominates this galaxy *now and always*!

  • Carl: We thought there might be a Brain Bug on 'P'.

    Carmen: You knew and still you sent them?

    Carl: We couldn't afford to launch an operation if there wasn't one.

    [both Carmen and Johnny look at Carl with contempt]

    Carl: You disapprove? Well, too bad! We're in this war for the species, boys and girls. It's simple numbers. They have more. And every day I have to make decisions that send hundreds of people like you to their deaths.

    Johnny Rico: Didn't they tell you, Colonel? That's what the Mobile Infantry is good for.
