Yes, that's what I'm meant, I just worded it ambiguously. Let me make it more explicit: The movie was disliked by: - Fans of Heinlein, who took offense at what they thought was a mocking and misunderstanding of the source material. - People unfamiliar with Heinlein, and also with Verhoeven, who failed to understand the movie was satirical and thought it was actually endorsing a weird mix of Beverly Hills 9210 and fascism. In case you wonder, I have read Heinlein (not just Starship Troopers) and know what he meant. I also appreciate Verhoeven! |
