Year: 1992
Okay, writing this days after watching it doesn't help at all. But I didn't have internet/computer access then, so...
Unlike
most of the Miyazaki movies I've watched, this one isn't really geared
towards kids. It's about a man who, disenchanted with humanity and war,
decides to become a pig (he says it's preferable to being a fascist).
It's also a romantic story about Porco Rosso (Marco) and Gina, a woman
who runs a pilot's club. I liked this movie because even though it
touches on serious stuff (individuality, fascism, becoming an adult and
losing sight of one's dreams, losing one's humanity, etc.) it still
manages to have that element of fun and humor. And I feel that despite
the seriousness and the main character who rejects humanity, the film
manages to convey that there is hope left for us who don't want our
hearts to die just yet. And I love the planes - they are just so beautiful. And the two main female characters, Gina and Fio, are really cool.
