Starship Troopers
Special shout out to <PERSON> daughter on stage for the prom dance covering <PERSON>’s “I Have Not Been To Oxford Town” complete with a lyric change from “20th century dies” to “23rd century dies”, closing out the high school melodrama portion of the film with a slow fade from the purple and pink crowd of dancing teenagers to the green Federation flag overhanging the military recruitment center while those same teenagers line up to recite their pledge of allegiance, a sobering and deeply uncomfortable transition from the innocence of dramatic fiction to the cold hard realm of propaganda, a sequence and transition that’s permanently burned into my memory and hits so perfectly every time. Also love all the brain stuff 80
