Hadn't realized the comparisons to the two movies. In fact, as you started explaining the Wind Rises I realized how much of that movie I had forgotten.
I think you missed the historical poetry here. Although this is a bio-pic, their relationship is a Metaphor for The Nation of Japan 🇯🇵. He buries his head in his work to save his love, his home, his land. While she is painfully understanding, perhaps lying to herself and him, for the sake of his Terrible Ambitions. Both know the minuet they are dancing, the roles forced upon them. We in the west spend far to much time seeing individuals while fighting for Broad strokes of abstraction. After some fifty years on Earth, I’ve come to see Large Spirits walking as Crowds, acting as Movements. Keep Moving Forward, look even deeper … it’s all more than you can imagine.
I was just thinking about this. After rewatching The Wind Rises the other day, I couldn't help but think how better they managed to tell a story about regret, war, work and love than Oppenheimer.
The Wind Rises is my favourite Ghilbli Film.. It makes me happy to see videos where people such as you, review this underrated film. Not to mention, this film was Hayao Miyazaki's most personal film. Lots of his ideologies are integrated in this film, and it really makes it a lot better. Thank you for this video, you made such an amazing review! 10/10 💯❤
Brilliant essay comparing two great filmmakers. Liked and subscribed and looking forward to more great videos from you. This was so very well done. Cheers!
I just watched The Wind Rises today for the first time, and I saw Oppenheimer a few months ago. I was so convinced that Nolan was inspired by Miyazaki, and you articulated my vague thoughts perfectly haha
I should hope you didn't learn any BS coffee tin ad reels about "1950's marriage" in high school or any school. That's purely for the purposes of division. It's only natural that if artists like Nolan and Miyazaki learn of the real history, they will draw similarly from that well to inspire similar messages, and there's more than TWO people who happened to. Studio Ghibli has been delivering these sorts of stories even before Miyazaki bought it, then named TopCraft, telling grand stories about war and cyclical violence like The Flight of Dragons. Meanwhile Spielberg's Empire of the Sun starring Christian Bale also tells a highly humanizing story about warring individuals, that has since been largely forgotten and seemingly throttled, which I can imagine would be something Steven isn't fond of pushing hard on, during family gatherings.
Great stuff! This was really well made. The Wind Rises is a film I was really looking forward to watching as someone going into aeronautics myself, and its ethical dilemma is one that hangs over the industry in many ways to this day!
Your presentation is probably the best I've seen. Especially when you transitioned from the wind rises to oppenheimer for chapter 3. Keep up the good work
Great video. I will say, when it comes to western religion, the idea of love is not limited to romantic feelings. “Love” in the sense that “love covers all” is speaking to a genuine putting someone else’s needs before your own.
Fantastic video! I remember thinking that Oppenheimer reminded me of this movie too. Also get a pop screen for your mic, that will help with the sound.
What a coincidence, I just wantched The Wind Rises yesterday and currently, my parents are watching Oppenheimer right now... Jokes aside, when I first picked up The Wind Rises from the library, I wasn't too interested in it. I thought it was just about a guy who likes planes, boy was I wrong. I've never seen a more underrated Ghibli Masterpiece.
I personally don't have a problem with the lack of representation of the actual effects of the bomb in oppenheimer. I find that in a story like the one being told in both these two films it's not necessary to portray the full extent of the machine's destruction, but instead the full extent of the creator's inner dilemma. I do dislike Oppenheimer in the sense that after a masterful hour and a half of building and testing the bomb, the film gets caught up in political drama so over-complicated that it genuinely doesn't allow Oppie's dilemma to flourish. I feel like Nolan gave up on that second half. The imaginary hallucinations where Oppie saw his coworkers' skin peel off their faces looked super lame in comparison to the rest of visual effects in the film.
Bro great video love the wind rises love the way you made the video essay. One favor man could you make a tutorial on how you make your videos I've been wanting to start my own channel to do video essays on films, but dont know where to begin.
Yes but the book came out long before the Wind Rises was filmed. So this might be a reach. Not saying Hollywood takes inspiration heavily from Japan medi
The dirctor of black swan actually bought the rights to perfect blue. As for Inception, Nolan had been working on that script for 9 years so im sure how much was inspired and how much was just a coincidence.
Stumbled upon this by chance - great video! I haven't seen Oppenheimer, but I enjoyed The Wind Rises, and it's definitely up there on the list of Ghibli films for me. Don't get the backlash to it either, given the fact that it's 'guy who wants to make planes ends up making planes at the worst historical time' and not because he wants to help Japan do war crimes or anything of the sort. Who knows. Also, you have only 114 subscribers??? Bumping that up to 115, cheers!
I feel like a lot of people kind of get swept up in the beauty of the wind rises and miss (what I interpret to be) the main message of the movie. but yeah this approaches it from a very similar way as me which I really appreciate
Great comparison, but I higly doubt inspiration, I just think stories like these (and real life historical fiction) has a lot of similar tropes or structures or narrative beats, especially about how relationships fail, and about conflicted geniuses
Oppenheimer was inspired by the book American Prometheus a book about a historical figure which came out in 2005, the wind rises came out in 2013? How is this copying?
Everything creative always copies and takes inspiration from other works. That doesn’t make the thing created lose its value. There is nothing that says that cristhoper Nolan even have watched the wind rises, but both directors have probably experienced something similar
Thank you, I thought Wind Rises e was fantastic. My only say is the chemistry could be better but I know the romans was only part of the overall story as oppose to the main focus and was at least portrayed in an rendering manor that was still engaging.
...I've seen both movies, and I noticed a couple scenes here and there that looked similar in them, but that was it. They have the same dreams idea, but they're both totally different movies.
The US being vocal about The Wind Rise not talking about Pearl Harbor or the Japanese role during WWII is such... an american (= self-centered) thing to do. Miyazaki doesn't make movies for an american audience, or for the american government. The Wind Rises ISN'T about the role of Japan during WWII or Pearl Harbor. Also, I bet the US wouldn't be as vocal about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagazaki. This is pure propaganda, and we are so lucky Miyazaki is independent from these influences (most movies today aren't). The context is different for Oppenheimer, like you said: the subject of the movie IS the creation of the deadliest weapon in human history, and it's talking the POV and drama of the creator (not the millions of victims, who almost disappear in their masses and anonymity). I understand how that can seem insulting (it's like movies or tv shows about real life serial killers, which focus on the complexity and "sex appeal" of the serial killer and disrespect their victims). Not saying it's a bad movie tho, but we must open our eyes (and it doesn't help it's an american big budget, big comm, movie too)
Too many blows on your recording. Use a High pass filter on the recording. Also lot of lip noises. This is not a big deal really. But the people who listen to videos on headphones might find it really annoying. Have a nice day.
Feminist theory makes people feel like all movies watered down women in the past. But it only teaches people to be cynical and narrow their minds to all of the movies that made women stars and be whatever they wanted.
@@aidyn5916 you make a good point. He tried to squeeze feminist theory in a place where it doesn't belong which is a hallmark of how it's usually used.
This video really goes off the rails halfway through, talking about relationships and understanding without actually understanding that she would had not been happy if he didn't pursue his dream, that's what the movie is about, cursed dreams, that was the point, gosh
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed... liking, commenting, sharing, subscribing helps out so much! ❤️
you're just awesome and super HOT. your voice is so amazing. great job and please don't stop
I always thought that Oppenheimer and The Wind Rises would make a great double feature
This should’ve been the double feature, not with Barbie.
That would be 5 and half hours💀
They both have Emily Blunt as the female love interest; go figure
agree! and then add empire of the sun here and grave of the fireflies. @@pennysanchez7656
@@alexandregingras1622Emily Blunt wasn't picked by Miyazaki. Can we just stop with linking Emily Blunt, that's purely coincidental.

great video, The Wind Rises really stuck with me, but i didn’t think of a lot of the points that you made.
I just watched The Wind Rises for the first time ever today. What have I been doing with my life.
Wow Your video quality is just too good for

Thank you so much! 🌟😁
The scripting and editing in this video is insane
Wouldnt be the first time Hollywood took inspiration from anime. Think perfect blue - black swan or paprika - inception

I've put off watching The Wind Rises for years now but I'm gonna watch it now
Fantastic video. It really made me rethink The Wind Rises.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it 🌟
Hella underrated creator right here
Devoured and left no crumbs. This was so educational. You are a bright young man. I really enjoyed your take on this topic. Please continue posting.

well it wouldn't be the first time he's copied anime (Paprika > Inception)
Amazing video essay. I hope you continue your great work, but maybe you shouldn't put your head in the clouds.

Nolan has copied anime directors multiple times. Inception is dam near shot for shot of Paprika
