| Porco Rosso
Porco Rosso (its Japanese
title Kurenai no Buta literally means "The Crimson Pig")
was first planned as a 30-45 minutes in-flight movie
on Japan Airlines ("a movie which tired businessmen
on international flights can enjoy even with their minds
dulled due to lack of oxygen"). As Miyazaki's imagination
took off, it became a feature-length movie about an
Italian Air Force pilot who left the service due to
the rise of fascism. He became a bounty hunter, assuming
the name "Porco Rosso."
introduction from www.nausicaa.net
It's the 1920s over the Adriatic
Sea. Air pirates with their floatplanes plague the sea,
attacking ships, robbing money, and kidnapping girls.
Enter a bounty hunter, Porco Rosso. Flying his red floatplane,
he is the best in the business. He is a very cool guy
and women love him. But there is one thing particular
about him - he is a pig.
