Good film and all, but why the hell was he a pig?
Because he's disgusted with himself for something he did during the war.? He feels like a pig so he looks like a pig.? It's just a touch of symbolism, is all.
Which is the one with, like, a cat that's a bus?, or something like that, and loads of fucked up shit.
... Sorry, I'll rephrase that. More fucked up shit than usual.
You're thinking My Neighbour Totoro. That film has its moments but is a bit too wierd at times. I do like the giant cat bus though.
The cat bus is NOT symbolic.
