The novel and film have nothing in common except for the superficialities, but both are great for what they are, the book itself being my favorite novel ever.
Hey y'all, welcome to the reaction scene. Great movie. Everyone should see this at least once. I lost count at 30. Edit: "I was expecting paperwork" spoken like an IRL administrator. I'm an electronics tech and I loathe the volume of paperwork even I am subjected to.
The book does not have the satirical tone of the movie. Paul Verhoeven agreed to direct the movie before he read the book. When he did read the book, Verhoeven, who was very liberal, was shocked by its militaristic elements. He decided he could only make the movie if he could mock the ideology of the book.
Which is better in your opinion? I usually hear the book being better but i'm curious for this case since he didn't read it before directing. These days you hear in movie news producers and directors getting blasted for not knowing the source material before making a tv show/movie lol.
Agreed; the book is way better. Which is saying something cuz this was pretty good. The books took a much more serious, subtle approach requiring the reader to understand irony for one, Nihilism, and 19th-20th century geopolitics. Needless to say, like "The Incredibles", there's several layers to unpack in every Heinlein book. He was pretty epic like that.
This is why I like this audience. Very few of that irritating “MeDiA LiTeRaCy” crowd (who ironically don’t even read nor understand the source literature)
Fun fact about the girl that killed the guy without the helmet in training, the actress and the actor became so close on set that they married at the end of filming.
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Mockery, more like. We are almost there though in real life. People doesnt give a f..k when they see a human die but a dog or a cat and they became the empath king/queen. This movie is along with the Demolition man is more like a warning than a mockery.
The gore was done by FX master Rob Bottin. You know his work from RoboCop, The Thing and several other 80s and 90s movies. He dropped out of Hollywood a long time ago unfortunately and I'm not sure what he does actually; heard it was real estate but not sure
“Zegama Beach”! lol I can’t stop saying it now because of Richard! And Jane, can I just say I Love You! No disrespect to anyone, I’m just having fun and you’re gorgeous!
I mean, would society actually be worse off if the franchise was limited to people who were willing to sacrifice their lives to defend it? Rico's family shows that the sort of people who control our real world society today (selfish super rich plutocrats) were allowed to keep their wealth in that world, but excluded from control over government. Again, would that be so bad? The original book was modeled after Switzerland, not Nazi Germany (mandatory military service for every man as a condition of citizenship, and direct democracy), not fascism.
If you have a society dominated by the military elite, it will have a need to always be in some kind of war IMO. I enjoy this movie a lot dont get me wrong, but the civilization presented here > when you hear the things that the characters say it makes me a little uneasy. Would society be worse off? That would depend on who you ask, im sure its great for military but what about everyone else?
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse as a vet and student of humanity, I really appreciated the depths Heinlein dove into the philosophy behind all the action. Like humanity having finally united in peace with the trader class with all the profit and the citizen class with all the power, and the producers with all the food and material. It's basically a commentary on Plato's Tripartite division of the soul and government. Society was gaining unrest because there was no one to fight and humans are far to aggressive to leave the military in charge of peace, so the Klendathu war was basically started by the MIC to pressure the government to start a war for profit and for "peace" for the humans. Brilliant book and a lot of frickin fun. "On the Bounce!"
Great comment. It does make sense that a leadership of combat veterans would be the most hesitant to send the nation to war since they have real personal experience of the horrors
The film is not the book. The society in this film is fascist. It's very clear. And that's spoken from a former conscripted soldier (I'm not opposed to conscription).
"troopers" answers the question: "what if the nazis won ww2?" mega props to the creature sfx team for giving us such a wide variety of bug types and sizes. most monster movies give us a single bodyform for an entire species.
That's what my uncle said when he took us to the theater to watch the movie. After watching it I was a little confused because I thought the world was so cool. That's right there's 5 types off the top of my head. Seems like the bugs have their own military complex going on: Soldier bugs, flamethrower bugs, Artillery, Air Force, and military intelligence 😄
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse the basic.. yes on utube I know the reaction has been cut down. BUT.. it gets beyond annoying 1 that the lady says she's never seen this film.. but every comment predates the film by over a minute. And 2 the both of them don't stop talking? EVER! They stop cut and talk more than the film? I actually watched this reaction a second time. And they don't talk for less than 10 seconds in the whole film
Forgive me. React to to yes. When you can't even watch 10seconds of the film without them talking. Especially about things that are nonsense and wrong? NO
Everyone fights. No one quits.
Pain is in your mind !
@ Buncha apes! Scratch that you dont rate that high!

The director confirmed that they sent an asteroid
Total Recall def got to be next. Practical special effects and a great storyline.
We're excited to react to it! It won't be for a few videos but it's coming soon!

@@stuka80awesome profile pic, im a fan of blood angels as well. Ive heard that the book influenced wh40k a little, might have to check it out

Thank you! and yes I agree!
this is one of those, I don't care about oscars or what ever...its just a good old fashion fun movie. Made to entertain and it does that in spades
I'm with you, this is how I view the movie as well.

@@mariorossi9300 ohh thats awesome! Ty for that tidbit
How funny most people dont recognise the news censored the animal's death but not the human carcasses.
@@Zappina isnt that the joke tho? I think most ppl get a chuckle out of the censored part 😆

@@Zappina ppl do love their pets! We havent seen Demolition Man is it any good?
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Its one of my favorite movie, so its definetely worth to check in my opinion.
@@Zappina Might already be on the list but if not we’ll def add it!

@@bewilderedbeest I wonder if the woman who shot was kicked out or just left on her own accord?
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse she left on her own accord. She quit, Rico stayed after punishment
