I find it to almost be just desserts when a filmmaker tries to sledgehammer the audience with a POLITICAL MESSAGE they deem IMPORTANT, and the majority of the movie-going public completely ignores it.
I always pictured Verhoeven gnashing his teeth because audiences loved his awful reinterpretation of Starship Troopers, but they completely missed the intended message and only liked it for the explosions and T&A.
“Pictures are for entertainment, messages should be delivered by Western Union.” – Sam Goldwyn
Just as true today as it was when he said it.
