The Wind Rises ("Kaze Tachinu" 2013, Miyazaki)
I didn't watch it; I actually rewatched it. And I cried again, just as I did the first time I saw it...
Miyazaki usually likes mythological or fairytale themes, or stories about the future. This film is a noteworthy exception; it's more historical, dramatic, and quite realistic, although he did allow himself a small fantastical exaggeration, but presented it as vivid dreams. This film is about beauty, mutual help, conquering something new and unknown, love, and loss. And it's very much about life – you find some similarities and parallels; you want your life to be like the life of the main character, but at the same time, you don't want it, you're afraid of it.
Nice catch.
The wind rises.
10/10
