    I was way too young and credulous to understand what starship troopers was doing. Other than feeling a little bad for the alien worm at the end i just watched it like an action movie.

    Now that I’m a more experienced adult, it is overt in its commentary to the point it’s hard to believe i missed or the first time.

    I use this lesson for myself when i find it hard to believe other people cannot see the propaganda that we are immersed in daily, or get a different message from a piece of media.

    After all, I missed it too. I watched the same movie at two points in my life and saw two very different things. I think about that alot

      This is a very good take away from that experience. One of the worst things to assume is that you are any different.
