The wind is rising, we must try to live!
Miyazaki Hayao and Studio Ghibli pay tribute to dreamers everywhere with The Wind Rises, the master director’s final feature film. Loosely based on both the life of aircraft engineer Horikoshi Jiro and a short story by writer Hori Tatsuo, The Wind Rises is a fictional account of Horikoshi’s life, from his days as a dreamer to creating the renowned Zero fighter plane. At once a moving journey about the pursuit of dream and a bittersweet love story, the film draws parallels between Horikoshi’s life and Miyazaki’s own distinguished career, showing the wonders of creation and the price creators pay for pursuing their aspirations. Winning accolades around the world, including a nomination for Best Animated Film at the Academy Awards, The Wind Rises is also the top grossing Japanese film of 2013.
Ever since he was a young boy, Horikoshi Jiro (voiced by director Anno Hideaki) has always been passionate about aviation, dreaming of flying in the sky with a plane that he created. The Wind Rises follows his journey, from being a small-time engineer in a field dominated by western countries to creating the renowned Zero fighter. Almost equal in Jiro’s love for aviation is his love for his wife Naoko, whom he had helped many years ago during the Great Kanto Earthquake. However, Jiro eventually must make the choice between fulfilling his dream and tending to his gravely ill wife..
