Amelia Watson watches Porco Rosso [Hololive EN] 

The way I see it "Porco Rosso" is a great take on mental health. The "curse" on Marco is a metaphor of guilt, depression, self loathing, PTSD and other mental disorders that affect people. People see him as a pig because Marco himself considers himself a pig: he hates himself because he was the only one of his friends to survive war. He considers himself a pig because is in love with Gina and feels guilty about it since she was married to his best friend and he died during war. That's why Fio sees him as a human: because he was thinking that no one was looking at him and unconsciously took human form, when he realizes that Fio is awake he turns into a pig again. In the end he turns into a human because he finally forgave himself.

Porco Rosso is 100% my favorite Ghibli film and watching Ame enjoy it is a treat. EDIT: Calli Agrees. Fuck yeah Oshi approval.

Easily one of my favorite movies growing up. Even without context, you can tell how much Miyazaki love planes and Italy

0:55 this starting process is actually suprisingly realistic. He’s cranking a big metal spinning flywheel with a reduction gear with that handle, and when it’s at a certain speed he “meshes” it (like letting out the clutch on a car) to get it to turn over and start running. This is similar to the electric starter motor in your car, but electric motors were too heavy and required too much electricity at the time to be practical in airplanes. Before this system you had to have someone do the same thing by turning the propeller by hand.

セリフがいちいちカッコいいんだよな。 子供の頃はよく分からなかったけど、大人になったら物凄く刺さる！

Wake up babe! New Peko Dubs just dropped!

just watched the movie yesterday and its one of my favorite ghibli films

1:04 IT'S A REAL PLANE!?!?!? NOW I WANT ONE!!!!

Thanks for another fantastic edit! Honestly the way you do these heightens the watchalong experience for me, so I'm always glad to see you upload these

Oh wow I was waiting for someone to do a highlights reel for this

Amazing editing on your side, really elevated this a lot

It was nice falling in love with this film again. I like how you study Japanese, just my style! I also like how you respected the film enough to not break it in a hundred pieces with unrelated chatter. Your comments were very much in the spirit of the film. Whomever you are Amelia it was a pleasure.

ジーナの賭けがどうなったかは ラストのカットで分かるのよ 😂ｲｲﾊﾅｼﾀﾞﾅｰ

Thank you!

Remember kids: Better a pig than a fascist. What is great is that this movie is 100 percent an indictment of the rise of fascism in Italy and how in a world with fascists, being seen as a pig will always be better.

"A pig's gotta fly." It's a bad translation. The better is "If I do not fly, I must be only a pig" or so.

9:32 Alabama moment

Nice vid!!

Calli’s fave huh? Excellent taste

If burgess Meredith was alive, he would tell porco to pound the body

25:30 saw Kiara for a single frame

I gotta watch my favorite Miyazaki film

9:40 That's... a really interesting question. Maybe it worked better with the lip-sync.

😆💖💖💖sooooo cute voice😍💖💖💖

"Pearls before swine " That Italian pilot with the ax and bundle of rods as his symbol. He was saying she was too pretty for him. That wasn't dodgy.

I prefer the dub it's amazing voice acting
