Review:
I really should have written this review the day I saw the movie, the same way I've done the other Studio Ghibli Fest movies. Well, I'll do my best, even though it's two weeks late.
I wasn't quite sure about Porco Rosso's time period, but a little googling indicates it's set during the 1920s. Porco Rosso is an Italian pilot turned bounty hunter who rescues a group of young girls at the beginning of the movie. When his plane starts having trouble, he heads to Milan to have it serviced by his favorite mechanic, even though there's a warrant for his arrest in Italy. His time in Milan nets him a temporary companion, Fio Piccolo, a young female mechanic and the granddaughter of Porco's usual mechanic. She accidentally ends up involved in Porco's ongoing conflict with an American pilot who's working with a bunch of pirates.
