It’s clear from these passages Jiro is a caring, empathetic person, although perhaps he is not so concerned about the world at large yet. Beautiful movie though it is, a little bit of exposition would give the plot some much needed clarity. I am a big admirer of his works. These days most animation is done by computer – except at Studio Ghibli, where each film is composed of thousands of frames (170,000 for Ponyo), the majority of them hand – drawn by Miyazaki and his animators. That’s laughable. The textures and colors were amazing. Period. Everything forward of the pilot was shot up, including the instrument panel, etc. So for you the movie should be about how he married a ill women and had to be caring her all day and night, because otherwise theres no love? Then yeaaaars later I walked into my living room and caught the end of a commercial for a movie that was about to air on Cartoon Network and saw what looked like a flying dragon/serpent and a girl who’s face kinda reminded me of Kiki and I got chills down my neck. I thought that this movie also had a very cute love story that was a big part of the film. In fact, I wish I could read more of some quality posts on the web sometimes. This is an obvious indicator of his unrivaled passion for the flying machines, something which is brought to the screen perfectly. Perhaps it is because the film didn’t cover the dark closing moments of Jiro’s career. Disney is releasing a dubbed version on Feb. 21, 2014. I was waiting to read this until I caught the film. Thank you for your insight. It certainly puts things in perspective. I think if there is one possible flaw in this movie then it is that it is too subtle in its internalisation of these concerns. My favorite scenes were the earthquake scene, the brief playful courtship between Jiro and Naoko, and almost all of the imagination sequences that showed what Jiros mind might have looked like from the inside. Jiro is ultimately human, with all of the capacity for good and for bad. If you like more action oriented stuff then I’d say Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, Howl’s Moving Castle, or Castle In The Sky if you are a fan of fantasy epics, or Porco Rosso if you want something a little bit smaller in scale. However what becomes apparent from watching the film is Miyazaki’s respect for Jiro Horikoshi, the real life chief engineer at Mitsubishi Internal … Thanks for the info. I thought that this movie also had a very cute love story that was a big part of the film. Considering Miyasaki’s Jiro has been criticized as being a flat, unsympathetic character it may have been worthwhile to include Jiro’s career dilemma to make Jiro come across as a more down to earth person. Miyazaki’s ability to make his stories heartwarming is what makes his hated Walt Disney comparison stand to this day. Beautiful, horrifying. On New Years Day 2014 there was some chatter that the Studio Ghibli director may have withdrawn his statement from the 2013 September Venice Film Festival about The Wind Rises being his last film. I really mean ALL of them. I also enjoy the fact that Studio Ghibli films on war are always limited to the view point of the main characters, as it affects everyone’s lives differently. It destroys lives, creativity, progress and, as a final insult, warps thinking until we see it as good. As I am interested in Japanese literature, I would have liked to know more about the connection between the novel “The wind has risen” and the anime by Miyazaki. I was very impressed (both with the film and your article ;)). While the beautiful 1923 earthquake scene was based off real events but not described in Jiro’s memoir, it remains one of the most poignant scenes of the film. He was inspired by European aircraft from a variety of magazines and this often carried over into his dreams where he would see airplanes of his own invention. This movie idolizes a character who knew the purpose of his creation, yet everyone seems to have enjoyed the movie and ignore all the facts. i watched it too, and i am glad you saw it. With Jiro’s test flight we see the irony as the oxen are replaced by human sacrifice in the name of progress. I saw the film yesterday and am not sure what I think about it all yet, but I am tired of people who have done nothing critiquing someone who has built and run a studio and produce a lifetime of mind-blowing films. He’s not arbitrarily inserting a character representing the ‘forward-thinking’ ideologies that are more normalized today. I completely agree. Unfortunately it’s not fleshed out enough and reads poorly. Hiram: Surely, you can’t be that close-minded? It’s also a little poetic or dramatic. 1. Several years later at another friend’s house who is a fan of Japanese animation he loaned me a certain movie which turned out to be the same one, I had forgotten about it then. This is a great report When we meet her a second time, we see her painting on a hill. Miyazaki decided to take creative liberty with this. Miyazaki created a film historically accurate to the times, with a fair share of cute, funny and inspiring moments. If the audience feels uncomfortable with the film because he becomes an unsympathetic character, that’s because Miyazaki wants you to become uncomfortable with him. One crucial element Miyazaki left out when translating these ideas to film was the self-doubt Jiro experienced while he integrated himself into the company. In June 1937 his son was born. I think it’s worth recognizing, when a film comes out -especially an animated one- that isn’t mostly paint by numbers (pun intended). This wouldn’t have been difficult to add if some other aspects – like the majority of the Caproni cameos – were taken out. Should you be happy to admire his wonderful feat of engineering or chastise him for his wilful ignorance in the face of atrocities that had already occurred long before he completed the zero project (e.g ‘The Rape of Nanjing’ Dec 1937 – Jan 1938. In an invasion of Chungking, 13 Zeros took down 27 Chinese fighter planes in 10 minutes: one suffering a hit fuel tank and three with minor damage. The Jiro character in the film is NOT flat and one-dimensional. Jiro feels a burst of wind and realizes that the burst of wind means that Naoko has died. Horikoshi’s did not learn about his planes impact until after the war, when the recordings for December 7 Pearl Harbour bombings were announced. She has been his muse and the act is practically vampiric. You have a lot of self control to wait until you saw the film until you read the article. Jiro noted he was not able to spend much time with him until the New Years Day holiday. When Jiro fell ill in October he visited his mothers hometown and went out for walks during the day. Being so lightly built, they did not stand up very well to American .50 caliber machine guns.
