Synopsis

Although Jirou Horikoshi's nearsightedness prevents him from ever becoming a pilot, he leaves his hometown to study aeronautical engineering at Tokyo Imperial University for one simple purpose: to design and build planes just like his hero, Italian aircraft pioneer Giovanni Battista Caproni. His arrival in the capital coincides with the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, during which he saves a maid serving the family of a young girl named Naoko Satomi; this disastrous event marks the beginning of over two decades of social unrest and malaise leading up to Japan's eventual surrender in World War II.

The Wind Rises is one of the best films of the decade, period.

Miyazaki and magic go together hand in hand. All of his films have some sort of magical element to them. So when Miyazaki and Takahata were to make a double feature (that ended up never happening since Tale of the Princess Kaguya was delayed), they did the reverse of Grave of the Fireflies/My Neighb…

This is a film for those who still allow themselves to dream whilst sailing on the whims of the wind.

This is not a critique in any sense. The current exposition is merely the general thoughts that crossed my mind when watching the film, don’t expect a thorough, technical analysis of the subject. The Wind Rises is a work that shines in its masterful use of the juxtaposition of its themes, both suff…

"The wind is rising, we must try to live"

~~~__The wind rises__ - A mini review of my rewatch~~~ -- ~~~It may contain spoilers!~~~ ~~~It's been almost 3 years since i watched this one. I was feeling that i needed to rewatch this and give it another chance, because a 7/10 for a Ghibli movie is for sure something to question coming from me.…

Beauty itself that can't be explained in words.

~~~I can't exactly explain why I love this film because it's more then just an animated work by japan. It symbolizes so much more then that. Dreams, what it leads to, nature, music, the bonds between others, and so much more that I can't help but have a gentle smile It's as if, this was movie that f…

A refreshingly down-to-earth take on the Ghibli formula

It is a biopic of the late Jiro Horikoshi, the chief engineer of numerous aircraft, including the Mitsubishi A6M…

Amazing story that will make you thinking more about life.

The Wind Rises is about cursed dreams and the kind of people who choose to pursue them Jiro Horikoshi is a dreamer. We see that from the first scene of the film. His dreams are very wonderful, fantasy-laden, and benevolent. All he wants to do is design planes. He studies plane engineering all his l…

Bravo, What a Beautiful Dream!

Man what a beautiful dream that was. [The Wind Rises](https://anilist.co/anime/16662/The-Wind-Rises/) is a movie about a fictional autobiography about a real life aviation engineer that designed War War 2 fighter planes for the Japanese Empire during that time. I have no idea how closely this align…

The Most Grown-Up Film Miyazaki Ever Made

Okay, so I'll be honest, I came into this one expecting something like Spirited Away or Totoro, you know, that kind of cozy magical Ghibli energy. What I got instead was completely different, and I think that's exactly why it hit so hard. The movie follows Jiro Horikoshi, a real person, by the way,…

This is a movie you'll remember

A Good Review for The Wind Rises I had only seen one Studio Ghibli movie before watching The Wind Rises, and it's definately given me a bigger interest in their films. Not to say that I wasn't interested in Studio Ghibli in the first place their track record for amazing films is well established. Th…

How wind is used as a vehicle of dreams and tragedy.

# ~~~“Tell me Japanese Boy. Is the wind still rising?”~~~ ~~~<a>━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</a>~~~ I love Studio Ghibli, it was my childhood and it will never get old. For some reason, I never approached the romance genre within the studio; I have had a special attachment to the more actio…
