When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Of course, though, the best film on politics is the greatest anti-war film of the 20th century. No, it's not that boring Deer Hunter. It's not that overly long and indulgent Apocalypse Now. It's not a Black and White snorefest All Quiet on the Western Front or some joylessly accurate foreign film like Das Boot. No, there's only one movie that truly captures the absurdity of warfare.

Would you like to know more?

One of the finest movies ever made, with an incredible score by Basil Poledouris.

I sincerely hope Verhoeven makes even a single movie as good as this or Robocop again before he dies.
