    I’m watching an otherwise pretty astute breakdown of Miyazaki’s politics and pro-nature anti-war themes in films but it gets to the Wind Rises and they’re just like “it’s surprising he abandoned all his politics to make a movie about how cool planes are” and I’m just sitting here like ????

    The Wind Rises is a film about a creative genius living an absurd failed life that ultimately feels tragic, whereas Millennium Actress is kinda the same thing except it feels triumphant. The main difference lies in the main character's respective relationships to fascism, collaboration vs defiance.

    In the genre of "interwar genuises succeed and are then forced to reckon with the aftermath of their creation," "The Wind Rises" is a better film than "Oppenheimer".

    rewatched The Wind Rises and really struck by how Nahoko is the body of the nation, sick but beautiful, an object of love terminally neglected in pursuit of aircraft. of course she leaves to die during the test flight. the movie itself that preserved memory of how she was - beautiful like the wind.

    I highly recommend the Studio Ghibli animated film "The Wind Rises", a semi-fictionalized account of the designer of the Zero fighter that weaves his story together with that of a famous Japanese novel "The Wind Has Risen".

    I was surprised to learn that the various sound effects in the film “The Wind Rises” directed by Hayao Miyazaki were created by the voice and sounds coming from the body of the sound staff. I love this experimental spirit. I recently watched it for the first time in a long time and it was wonderful.

    The Wind Rises is the film that everyone pretends Oppenheimer is. There is like a single scene that even attempts to grapple with the fact that the dude was building weapons of mass murder.

    I see this going around, and I think it's funny because it's obviously not true. Miyazaki initially hesitated to make The Wind Rises (into a film) because it wasn't aimed at children (the usual Ghibli audience). He also considered removing smoking scenes in the story for basically the same reason.

    The Wind Rises is my favorite Miyazaki movie. As a story about being creative in a world that values destruction over creation, it is also one of my favorite movies about art. I would probably watch it back to back with Kaneto Shindō's Edo Porn which touches some of the same themes more explicitly.

    My favorite thing is when a movie's theme is "war is bad... but look at all these cool guns and planes." "The Wind Rises" is the only movie I can think of that explores this without any subliminal intentions.

    On this day 10 years ago, Hayao Miyazaki's THE WIND RISES debuted in theatres in Japan. ☁️🛩️☁️ Remembering July 20, 2013. Miyazaki's fascination with flight goes all the way back to his childhood. In fact, he grew up around it since his father was the director of Miyazaki Airplane. The company, which was owned by Miyazaki's uncle, helped to manufacture parts for airplanes during World War II. #ghibli #studioghibli #スタジオジブリ #anime #thewindrises #hayaomiyazaki

    He very, very, very, *very* begrudgingly admits that his arcadian ideal was never real and industrial society had its upsides, this puts him ahead of the curve. Doesn't really explain The Wind Rises but then again nothing about that film is thematically coherent.
