I'd Rather Be a Pig Than a Fascist | A Meditation on Porco Rosso
Added 2022-03-13 23:49:50 +0000 UTCIn this video, I will be exploring Porco Rosso and the relationship between the real-world history of the Adriatic Sea during the rise of Italian Fascism and the Anti-war themes of Studio Ghibli. Is this film an Antifascist classic that many describe it as? Watch to hear my thoughts on this underrated classic.
