It's a touching story where you can see the reflection of the master himself.
Hayao Miyazaki has been obsessed with aviation since he was a teenager. He often drew airships and airplanes, which became a symbol of freedom for him.
And around the same age, Miyazaki read the biography of Jiro Horikoshi. It impressed him, and at the age of 72 he decided to make Horikoshi the main character of his movie The Wind Rises.
What Is The Wind Rises About?
Jiro has been in love with aviation since childhood and dreams of becoming a pilot, but his dream is not destined to come true due to poor eyesight. One day, under the impression of a book about aircraft design, Jiro dreams of meeting the famous Italian aircraft designer Caproni. Since then, Jiro has had a new dream: to design the perfect airplane.
The anime shows the viewer how Jiro came up with his main invention – as beautiful as it is destructive. At the same time, the young engineer travels, meets new people, falls in love with a girl named Nahoko, and talks to Caproni in his dreams.
The Wind Rises Was Supposed to Be Miyazaki's Final Work
Until 2016, The Wind Rises was considered Hayao Miyazaki's farewell work. He himself announced this at the Venice Film Festival and cried for the first time at the premiere. However, the director later announced that he had returned to animation.
But in 2013, The Wind Rises was considered as the finale of the master's work. The anime embodied all the best things that Miyazaki's films are so beloved for: detailed animation, a thoughtful plot with a peaceful message, a touching love story, references to the problems and pains of the people of Japan. But on the other hand, The Wind Rises stands out from other works.
For the first time, the story Miyazaki tells is not fictional, but quite real. No ghosts, forest spirits, dystopian world, witches and curses. Just a few years from the life of a dreamer who sometimes escapes reality.
Although the image of the main character of the anime is inspired by a real person, one can also see a reflection of the director in it. A reverent, almost obsessive love for the business in which he is willing to invest his whole soul and sacrifice time for his loved ones.
