Movie Reviews of Porco Rosso
Movie Review: A different kind of masterpiece from Miyazaki-sama
Summary: 5 Stars
Porco Rosso maybe something completely different from Miyazaki, but it is very well executed. It is just as much of a masterpiece as Spirited Away. Porco Rosso is full of humor, cleverly hidden jokes, and sports a very well written story line. It is a pleasure to watch and a movie I would highly recommend to anyone, even those who have never seen a Studio Ghibli film. As my number three favorite movie of all time, I believe the movie is worth every cent and is one of very few movies I could watch in a loop for hours. If you are looking for a great movie to add to your collection, you've found it.Movie Review: Miyazaki the hero
Summary: 5 Stars
Miyazaki Hayao has devoted virtually his whole career--and every one of his master works--to encouraging the self-esteem of young girls everywhere through role models in his characters. Never has there been a more tireless champion of the ability, strength, and courage of women. If that was all he did, whether his work was successful or not, he'd be my hero. But as it turns out, his work is brilliant. Buy this DVD and all the rest. If you kow a young girl between the ages of 8 and 18, that dangerous time when young girls can so easily lose hope, buy them "Kiki's Delivery Service," and this one.Movie Review: My favorite Miyazaki too . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned this was the favorite Miyazaki - I love Porco even more than the popular Mononke and Spirited Away. You can't go wrong with any of this masters work - but Porco has beautiful aerial scenes, well-developed characters and the soundtrack is superb. The detail in the planes and other mechanics can be more impressive artistically than nature-only scenes.Although our protaganist is a man (okay, turned pig), Miyazaki's tradition of strong female characters continues in this film through with both the "love interest" and the marvelous plane mechanic.
Movie Review: ONE OF THE LESSER KNOW OR SEEN, BUT...
Summary: 5 Stars
And its a big one. This film was conceived original to be aired on JAL (Japan Air Lines). Mr. Miyazaki intended this film to appeal to the tired japanese businessmen coming home. It is also something of a personal project. He has always loved airplanes and this film was a way including it in one of his works.I find no fault with any of the other reviews here. But you should remember that his other films were intended for a broader group of veiwers, Kiki's delevery service for example. If you liked or loved any or all of Miyazaki san's films then get this one. Its well worth it.
Movie Review: Edificante!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hayao Miyazaki is unique, this one and all his movies are not just for anime fans because they are totally diferent, are not just excelent animates, are excelent movies. Porco Rosso is one of this movies that makes you feel nice so you wanna see it over and over, his characters seem to be alive because they act in a very natural way, never overact as every other animated cartoons, the backgrounds are beautiful and refreshing, perfect stageing, perfect story, very funny and emotional, the right word in spanish is EDIFICANTE. Miyazaki is not of this world.
