The philosophy of Robert Heinlen

159 viewsOther

I’m quite familiar with the Starship Troopers franchise, but it’s been described as a parody of Heinlen’s work rather than being true to it.

What were his philosophies, and were they actually so fascist and controversial that all the movies based on his work had to be made into parodies?

The reason the film Starship Troopers is so different than the book is because the director, Paul Verhoeven, grew up in The Netherlands while they were under Nazi occupation and likes to make movies that satirize the more Fascist elements he sees in America.
