feels weirdly satisfying to watch fireflies, a thesis statement for what ghibli as a studio aimed to tell stories about, and then follow it up with the wind rises, which feels like a conclusion/reflection on those themes. obviously done by two different filmmakers, but they…
KarstenJun 7, 2021suggests that dreaming is pragmatic because it’s the only way forward, that finding the beauty in the everyday rebuffs the hideousness of war and disaster, and that sometimes all a guy needs are his planes and his girl 😃 most likely would’ve cried if watched alone in…

"Humanity dreams of flight, but the dream is cursed. Aircraft are destined to become tools for slaughter and destruction." I'm not a Miyazai expert. I still haven't seen several of his early films, and I've been pretty mixed on most of his recent stuff. But I thought…

The strongest and most impressively complex animation craftsmanship I’ve seen. The movement and physics are so realistic. I want to crawl into this film and live.
Jim CummingsJul 11, 2019very serious, heavy themes going on that i wasn’t expecting. the wig rises.

i loved this very much. what a beautiful and heart-wrenching film about war and romance. i feel like this is yet another social commentary piece by miyazaki, against war and militarization. nahoko and jiro's love was deeply touching, you could tell how much they adored each other
Herman lovedThe Wind RisesFantastic, new favorit Ghibli movie. The relationship between Jiro and Naoko was so lovely. Which sadley made it even harder to watch how it turned out in the end. Also loved how they portrayd the airplane designing progress. One of my favorit movies ever now to be honest
bia panico's day off lovedThe Wind Risesthis movie is beautiful. you can feel the passion and devotion the protagonist has to his planes, and then this passion shifting towards something even more dear to him, Nahoko. their love was so tender and the ending is so incredibly sad.

Of Miyazaki’s many gifts as a filmmaker, perhaps the most subtle is the way he honors time and silence and stillness, values that are in lamentably short supply in most modern-day productions.

What's on screen is a gorgeous grab bag of notions: ardent love, a salute to Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, a bit of Camille and a lot — I mean a lot — of nuts-and-bolts stuff about nuts and bolts.
