Visually, the film is stunning. The setting is an idealized Mediterranean—azure waters, white beaches, and endless skies. The flight sequences are among the best in animation history, capturing the tactile joy of aviation (a lifelong obsession of Miyazaki’s). The planes rattle and sputter; the wind distorts the fabric of the wings.
Porco Rosso is a film about the beauty of choosing to be a decent man in an indecent time. It is Miyazaki at his most autobiographical and his most human. An essential watch.
En pleine montée du fascisme en Italie, Marco déclare : "Plutôt cochon que fasciste" . Devenir un cochon est sa manière de se retirer de la société humaine qu'il juge barbare et destructrice.
