Another amazing film by Hayao Miyazki; I'm always impressed with his detail to ones life experiences; the earthquake sequence will blow you away. The film is base on a flight engineers dream to build the perfect flying machine

In all Miyazaki's films the wind and sky, as well as nature, figure prominently though out. This film brings the wind into center of it all, a man wanting to conquer the air.

The Wind Rises is a film worth seeing. However. don't expect it to be like Miyazaki's other masterpieces like Totoro, Princess Mononoke, or even Spirited Away. It can be slow at times, but it can also be interesting. Things do speed up when Jiro meets Nahoko and becomes married to her. The ending is really heartbreaking, though.
