Porco Rosso
Diretto da Hayao Miyazaki
In quella che Miyazaki Hayao definisce “l’epoca degli idrovolanti”, Marco Pagot è un ex-pilota che si è misteriosamente ritrovato nelle mutate sembianze di un maiale antropomorfo. Con il nome di battaglia di Porco Rosso, vola alla ventura sui cieli dell’Adriatico a bordo del suo idrovolante vermiglio, sfuggendo al giogo fascista e sbarcando il lunario come cacciatore di taglie. Ma l’arrivo del pilota americano Curtis, assoldato dai Pirati del Cielo, lo costringerà a nuove battaglie per salvare il proprio onore e quello di una radiosa fanciulla, per la riconquista di un perduto amore e della fiducia nell’umanità.
- LivewireAdmin6 dicembre 2025Hayao Miyazaki never ceases to amaze me. Every one of his films feels like stepping into a dream that’s both whimsical and deeply human, and Porco Rosso is no exception. There’s something endlessly fascinating about how he can take such an odd premise—a World War I flying ace cursed to look like a pig—and turn it into a moving, funny, and surprisingly bittersweet adventure. Miyazaki somehow always manages to illicit tears from me. The world he creates here is so alive: blue skies, roaring engines, and the kind of sun-drenched Adriatic backdrop that feels like it’s been lived in for decades. Porco's island home is what dreams are made of! It’s romantic in the truest sense—nostalgic for a bygone era of flight and freedom, yet quietly mourning what was lost along the way. I think I was hesitant on this one because I wasn't sure what the story was gonna be and if I wouldn't be able to vibe with a pig pilot protagonist....so glad to realize my fears were unfounded. The characters are fantastic, each brimming with charm and personality, from the spirited Fio to the rival air pirates who are somehow both ridiculous and lovable. But it’s Porco himself who anchors everything—world-weary, self-deprecating, and oddly heroic. Michael Keaton’s performance as Porco in the English dub is absolutely perfect; he gives the character just the right mix of humor and melancholy. Also, it took me a second but I finally recognized Madame Gina was played by Susan Egan aka Meg in Hercules! It’s funny, it’s beautiful, and it’s quietly profound. Miyazaki captures that feeling of flight—both literal and emotional—better than anyone. This isn’t just another Studio Ghibli film; it’s one of his most effortlessly cool and deeply human works in their catalogue.
- M08Y17 luglio 2025Porco Rosso is awesome. It's a bright and colourful adventure into a world of seaplane pirates and a half-pig man. Porco Rosso is my new favourite Ghibli movie. Full of adventure, commaradarie and the warm glow of romance. Porco is quite literally overflowing with charm in a way that only Studio Ghibli can achieve. Set in the early days of Fasscist Italy, this film contains everything you could want, Arial Combat, Engineering, Evading fassicsts, Proffesional rivalries, friendships new and old and honour among thieves. I highly recommend you give this film a try.
- Richard3 agosto 2025This one’s pure charm. Set in 1930s Italy, Porco Rosso follows a former WWI ace turned bounty hunter, who just happens to be a pig. It’s whimsical, melancholic and quietly profound. Miyazaki blends aerial dogfights with soulful introspection, crafting a story that’s as much about identity and honor as it is about seaplanes and pirates. Porco is a fantastic lead, cynical, romantic and deeply human beneath the snout. Fio and Gina bring heart and strength and the Mediterranean backdrop glows with Ghibli’s signature warmth. Joe Hisaishi’s score wraps it all in nostalgia. It’s not a high stakes epic, but that’s the beauty of it. It’s a film that lingers,funny, thoughtful and quietly rebellious. I enjoyed it immensely.
