No, it wasn't satire; Verhooven intentionally and with malice aforethought decided to turn the novel on its ear.
Verhooven is a pig.

Verhooven is a pig.Gotta agree with that, from interviews I've seen with him. He seems to be carrying a lot of hate from his experience of WWII, which he channels into left-wing political views--reminds me of Roman Polanski in that way.
