Director Paul Verhoeven made a not-so-subtle satire comparing American nationalism and culture (dominating the world's culture) to fascism. He did this to better effect in "Robocop". Think about this European point-of-view of America when you watch next year's TV coverage of the Olympics.
Yes, we in America were saddened that we liberated Mr Verhoeven's native country from true facists, so he could have had a better first hand view to increase his ability to satire.Too bad the director was unable to capture the magic and culture of the book in his remake of "Beverly Hills 91020 in Space"
... what difference does the American cover of the olypics have to do with the many other broadcasts for the different countries' perspective that is plainly visible in the background.
