Philoktetes 05/04/17 4:41:55 PM #1:	Like all these years I thought it was a really shitty sci-fi movie and never gave it any more thought than that. Then I was watching it again and it just fucking hit me... It's a parody. It's a farce, a satire on almost mindless patriotism that people have. It's basically making fun of the brainless, gun-toting simple-minded people who blindly follow along with whatever their country is doing without ever stopping to question things. (It could also be making fun of military jingoism, too). I don't know why it took so long for me to get this. --- I don't think so, Tim. ~~ Pizza Crew ~~ <cite>Philoktetes posted [p:878475351] in I just fou...
