Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers):
There are spelling mistakes in all three Italian texts that appear in the movie: first newspaper "mamma aito" instead of "mamma aiuto" and "L'bambie" instead of "Le bambine", second newspaper "vivo a morto" instead of "vivo o morto", third sign in Piccolo's office "non si fo credito" instead of "non si fa credito".
Quotes: Curtis:
[taunting Porco]
If you run away, I'll tell everyone you're chicken! Porco Rosso:
Chicken, pig, what's the difference?
User Review
More than a movie
Rating: 10/10
Porco Rosso is not just one of those movies that you watch and give
back to Netflix. It is one of those movies that genuinely makes you
hate your life, but in a good way. Watching a movie like Porco Rosso
makes you wish that you lived in their world, and that you could fly
your own plane between the Adriatic Islands and your own private
hideaway. It is the kind of film that takes you inside it and leaves
you with a sort of culture shock when you are forced to realize that
you are in your modern-day room with no way to get around but a car or
a bike. It is the sort of movie that you watch again not only because
you love it so much, but also so that you can have a portal back into
that magical world and dream that you can become like one of the
characters in the movie with some sort of "reality". Who cares if there
are flaws? Is the world absolutely perfect? So what if there is
ambiguity about the ending? Is life always crystal clear? Porco Rosso
is one of those movies that has the perfect mix of reality and fantasy;
it gives you a world that you wish you were a part of, and COULD be, if
only you can find it....
