Beautiful, heart-warming and tragic events entwined in this amazing movie - a true Miyazaki, nothing less.
A really nice film, if you get involved in the somewhat disjointed plot. But the representation of a tuberculosis disease is already highly wrong from a medical point of view. (Topic infection and course of the disease).
A bit different Ghibli, this biopic of Jiro Horikoshi. Since I'm not that much of a huge fan of some fantasy Ghiblis I apprectiated the story telling a lot. Didn't like the movies such as Ponyo but could also miss some of the fairytale element from Porco Rosso or Monoke. But it was a pleasant sidestep: the chemistry between Jiro and Nanoko was amazing, havent felt a romantic plot this much for a whole and it was heartbraking to see. I also liked the hommage to the avation part, you could tell Miyazaki was a great fan of airplanes in general, but the Zero even more, even when theyre sort of the pyramids of that time. Great movie!
¿Quién ha visto el viento? Ni tú ni yo lo hemos visto, pero el viento sopla y hace que tiemblen las hojas.
Que el viento haga vibrar estas alas para llegar a ti.
A good final effort by Miyazaki which, while well-made with some very nice moments, ultimately suffered because of its subject matter; there's a limit to how interesting you can make a film about a guy who wants to make really nice planes.
A touching picture...
This was too normal for a Studio Ghibli film. It was beautiful and had an important message just like they all do, but it fell somewhat flat for me, personally. Still, it was great to watch a biopic in the animated format, it’s not a very common pursuit.
Clearly for adults rather than kids, a bit slow but still enjoyed it
The wind is rising, we must try to live! <3
Relatively mature as far as Ghibli films go, The Wind Rises is a love letter to aviation and the power of dreams that blurs the boundaries of reality and deftly contrasts the themes of Fireflies in a new light. It's visually and aurally stunning - a must-watch for any serious-minded fan.
The original title of the film is Kaze tachinu.
Wonderful film. Feels like a spiritual successor to Grave Of The Fireflies.
So... this will officially be the last film from Miyazaki. I'm certain it won't be long for Takahata to join him :(.

I absolutely wanted to love this film, but even with tons of things to like, I don't feel the heart, blood and sweat that usually seem to go into Ghibli movies. It felt by-the-books, pleasure-less, unexciting. I was bored.
