Who said pigs can’t fly? Porco Rosso is about a guy who was once a WWI ace fighter pilot that is now cursed to have the face of a pig for the rest of his life. Porco, also known as Marco, began his life as a handsome fighter pilot for the Italian Air Force.
When he and his comrades were flying through enemy territory, they found themselves in the midst of a battle. Fighter planes flying everywhere, shooting left and right and everyone except Porco was gunned down. Porco was struck down but when he awoke, he found his plane flying by itself. The plane rose up through the clouds to reveal a white band of planes overhead. The planes were fallen seaplane pilots on their way to heaven. When Porco looked to the side of him, he noticed his good friend Bellini and he called out to him but was unheard. Bellini had just married a girl named Gina before they left for the war, and when he was flying up towards the band of pilots Porco told him that he can’t leave her alone. After that point, he began flying for himself. He took his seaplane and left.
