Jiro’s constant kindness to others shows us that dedicating your life to your individualistic dreams is not necessarily incompatible with providing care and tenderness to others. The genre-shift into romance for the second half of the film felt completely natural, and there were so many touching moments that made my heart feel full.
Miyazaki has always seemed uninterested in depicting adult romance in his previous works, so it was a delightful surprise that we got to witness some here. (It’s certainly a bit uncomfortable to romanticize the creation of warplanes, but I think it’s possible to acknowledge that without detracting from the beauty of this film.) It’s really fascinating to think about how so much creation is built on the shoulders of giants. Jiro looks up to Caproni the same way that Miyazaki looks up to Jiro. The Wind Rises (Japanese:, Hepburn: Kaze Tachinu, lit. It feels like a film that Miyazaki made for himself, and I love that a lot. The Wind Rises doesn’t feel like a children’s film at all. When the Wind Talks Yatao & Malte Marten Breath Malte Marten. His proxy for this message is Jirô Horikoshi (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), based on the real-world airplane engineer whose designs helped revolutionize the Japanese air force. It takes a nuanced approach to the issue, never pushing beyond the means of the story. He wants to make films for children of this age range, or that age range. Listen to Flow State by Malte Marten, 293 Shazams. The Wind Rises falls in line with Miyazaki’s long held pacifist views on war. I’ve read some Miyazaki quotes where he often thinks about his intended audience when choosing the subjects of his films. And yet the fantasy element is still there, because the real world is just as wondrous. This is a unique Miyazaki in that it’s grounded in the real world, and about real people. Live your 10 years to the full.” What an audacious thing for the film to say after Miyazaki has put out banger after banger since 1979. “Artists are only creative for 10 years … we engineers are no different. We see this in Jiro’s dreams, in his hard work, and my favourite bit was in the depiction of Jiro’s “flow state”, where he’s fully concentrated on his work and everything else fades into the background, and he and his desk are flying through the air. Miyazaki’s reverence for the craft of building an airplane provides some clear analogies to the craft of animation, and the act of creation in general. The motifs of wind and aircraft (and even Caproni) are put in the forefront in this film. The name Ghibli was given by Hayao Miyazaki from the Italian noun ghibli, based on the Libyan-Arabic name for the hot desert wind of that country, the idea being the studio would “blow a new wind through the anime industry.” It also refers to an Italian aircraft, the Caproni Ca.309 Ghibli. I learned about the origins of the name Ghibli yesterday.
