But WHY he a pig?

But WHY he a pig?

What was Miyazaki trying to say here?

>Q: Why did Porco become a pig? Although it was never mentioned in the movie, a press release states that he was disillusioned with humanity, and cursed himself to be a pig. Miyazaki stated that “When a man becomes middle-aged, he becomes a pig”. He became a bounty hunter, assuming the name “Porco Rosso”.

Men are pigs and anime was a mistake.

According to Toshio Okada, that's how Miyazaki sees himself. A greedy pig

>Miyazaki stated that “When a man becomes middle-aged, he becomes a pig”.

But what does that mean?

It's a pretty sexy pig.

it wouldn't be a ghibli movie without an animal character shoehorned in.

It's a euphemism for male chauvinism. Whether or not Marco actually exhibits these traits is irrelevant because it's how he thinks of himself. He saw all the "good men" go off and die in a war and so he inhernalized his negative traits and began to think of them as something that defined him. That's why the "curse" was broken at the end of the movie because he began to realize that he had positive traits and that people liked him.

I thought of it as a physical manifestation of his survivor's guilt and self-perception. As for how, magic

This is such a weird thing to have a stick up your butt about.

or children's feet

Miyazaki cannot stomach looking at reality so he put in a funny cartoon pig since the rest of the film was fair more grounded than what he usually does.

I'm not mad about it but it is true for quite a lot miyazaki's material.
it's better alongside more childish themes like totoro or meitante holmes but porco rosso does feel forced

This motherfucker posting on Any Forums and legit trying to call Miyazaki for bing "childish".

Damn, you either wild as hell or lacking in self awareness.

It's not just Porco Rosso. There's a pig curse in other works, namely Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. It's a recurring theme.
Maybe this doesn't answer your question, but what I'm saying is that you should look at the bigger picture.

ok nigger

the pig curse in Spirited Away is contextually explained. Not so much in Porco.

>announcing a report

Where was that announcement of a report exactly?

What I see is a citation of a single rule.

It means you get a gut, women are repulsed by you, and you are chased by constant regret over ~50 years of mistakes.

I don't think that's the case, Marco seems to be doing quite well with women. It has to be more about the image he has of himself.
First of all, surviror's guilt plays a role here, that should be obvious from the flashback.
