A bit of a cult film. Sort of slipped under the radar when it was first released.

The main character, "Porco Rosso", is an Italian fighter pilot from WW1. He suffers from "Survivors Guilt".

All his mates are dead...but he's still alive.

Beautiful music and animation...and a love interest.

Set in 1920's Italy.

This could be the future of major motion pictures:

Disney Reveals ‘Mulan’ Release Date For All Disney+ Subscribers After $30 Premier Access Run --

https://deadline.com/2020/09/disney-...ss-1234569473/

Subscribers to Disney+, who already pay about USD $7.00/mo for the service are being made to pay the extra premium to view the film on home video devices; note that Disney has made provisions to avoid the possibility of persons subscribing to watch the film and then cancelling their subs after viewing by only allowing unlimited viewing only if the subscription is not cancelled; the USD $30.00 price tag is about 2.5 to 3 times the average price of a movie theater ticket here in LA; if Disney is successful with the Mulan experiment, such 'premium' screenings on studio owned streaming services may become the norm, particularly since it cuts way down on having to deal with the 'middleman' theater chains...

This film got a very limited showing at Arthouse cinemas when it was first released, so hardly anyone knows about it.

I thought I'd do the decent thing and redress the balance. Subsim has a membership of nearing 200K and most probably a "readership" in the millions. The more people that know about this visually stunning, beautifully crafted masterpiece, the better.

The film makers deserve success and global recognition, which they didn't get the first time around.

More and more I've found that to be true. I've been looking back to the culture, movies and music from the years 1975-2000. It's amazing and seems like a very special time. I don't see how you could ever compare it to the years 2000-2020. But I'm sure that there are people who will and do see it otherwise.
