This was a very high-quality analysis and video essay. It gave a very poignant perspective on this beautiful Studio Ghibli film. The editing was well done and well paced. Excellent job. I hope you'll share your thoughts on other Studio Ghibli films too.
This is my Hayao Miyazaki's fsvorite film so far. I've been watching them since I was a small child, but now I'm a History undergraduate student it compells me even more. The love story, the (rightfully said) beauty of the everchanging winds, the world between horror and glory, are the main themes of every life. It is our choice whether we pursue our cursed dreams or not. History will never stop.
This movie is one of Miyazaki’s hardest work in creating a overall message and symbolism. There’s many meaning to pick out from this movie, like how most of the town people are wearing blue suits. While Jiro and just a few people aren’t. It shows that in his world everyone isn’t equal, with the economy gone down. Traffic and people hurrying, might show also the economy is down. Many people around Jiro must want to build planes for money. Jiro goes around helping people, we know him as a kind person. Helping the women, when she broke her leg when a earthquake happened. Trying to give kids a sponge cake, this movie is overall about dreams like you say. Striving for a desire, instead of striving for money. Or in the sake of building for need for the war, but enjoy building planes. Which beautiful cursed dreams, they would explode anyway. Jiro falls in love, but to know when Nahoko leaves, It is seen that for what he really matters wasn’t the plane, but it was Nahoko that he cared the most for
Man I'm such a moron - I couldn't figure out this movie on my own. I couldn't figure out what exactly this movie was trying to show us. It felt like tip of the tongue phenomenon, but in my whole brain. This video relieved that for me. Thanks for spelling it out for idiots like me lol. Beautiful movie, and also very sad. Your video left me teary eyed by the end. Well done on a great video!
I don't understand why this video has so little attention It's amazingly well done and perfectly captions the meaning of this movie It's hard for me to choose right words to express my thoughts on English, but let's just say, i kinda cried at the end 'cause the idea of Wind Rises for me is very personal and hearing someone else talking about it in such way made me emotional, in a good sense:)
You've summarised this movie's true message and idea. Unlike other western reviewers who were just focusing on how Miyazaki created a biopic of killer machine and exposing themselves being biased and hypocrites.
The 100th year anniversary of the Great Canto Earthquake was yesterday, September 1st 1923. I saw this film in the theatres today thanks to Ghiblifest. Absolutely incredible.
Such a great essay! Bravo! The wind rises is one of the best animation film ever made, incredible human and peotic story...as time goes on I realize how important this animation is! A rare masterpiece! Miyazaki, a man with rare talent and rare dedication!
Great Video! I will say I was saddened by the lack of mention of Hori Tatsuo and his novel of which the movie's plot is based on. It's interesting to see even with a biopic Miyazaki chooses to mix fiction into it. And yet the story feels so real because it's based on Hori's own life experiences with his first wife who died of tuberculosis. He too died of the disease but lived long enough to remarry. However it's clear he loved her a lot just based on the fact that he wrote multiple stories with characters based on her. Other than that though it was a well made video :)
My favourite film by far, what a beautiful analysis. I really appreciate the creative techniques you used in effectively relaying the emotion of your video essay, like leaving the wind to linger in that unforgettable scene where Nahoko dies. It’s really unfortunate this is the only video essay on your channel, I would’ve loved to see what else you could have made. Such is life. C’est la vie. Le vent se lève! Il faut tenter de vivre!
Great video for another Miyazaki masterpiece. I want him to live forever, I always want the comfort to know that one of his movies will come out in 2 or 3 years
Feel like this movie could only really be about a person in a war. Be they head engineer of a plane, a revolutionary fighting for their home, a soldier who realized all to late that war is a horrible thing. Its a story about the beautiful contradictions within a human being set against the complex background of things they had no say in or power over. Jiro chose his dream to design aircraft because, in the end, the Japanese government was going to get their warplane. Its a terrible, lose lose situation. But its the one he chose because what other option did he have? Put years of studying behind him and work in an industry that (again) was just going to fund the war anyway? Try and start a life in another place, another world essentially? He chose a corrupt dream in a place where only nightmares were available. He chose a world with pyramids. All of this In my view, of course.
Not even 40 seconds in and you've used the word 'penultimate' when you meant 'final', you've said this is Miyazaki's only film set in the real world (wrong), and you call the Zero a 'fighter jet.' And that's as far as I will go with this video. Good day, sir.
@@ottowillekuusinen216 So you think Italy is just a made up country then? There's a pretty strong argument that both Totoro and Spirited Away are set in the real world, too.

To summarise in short, We should find happiness in little things without caring what the outcome will be. We must try to LIVE!

Thank you for this. Watched this masterpiece today and agree with everything you say. This is in my top 3 Ghibli movie.
Which is number one?
Your no.1 and 2 please

I cannot express in words how much beautiful this film
This is my favourite anime movie, there's very few commentary on this anime here on UA-cam, thank you so much for this.

The Wind Rises is my favorite Ghibli movie, and one of my favorites movies period! Excellent from start to finish!
I hope to one day find someone who loves me as much as Miyazaki loves aviation.
My favourite film by far, what a beautiful analysis. I really appreciate the creative techniques you used in effectively relaying the emotion of your video essay, like leaving the wind to linger in that unforgettable scene where Nahoko dies.

That's a sub!

You might be pleasantly surprised, but The Wind Rises is not Miyazaki's final film. He's currently working on a new feature called "How Do You Live?".
Fighter jet does sounds more exciting in my opinion
I'm diggin' this constructive criticism.
It really is miyazaki's only film set in the real world.
@@ottowillekuusinen216 So you think Italy is just a made up country then? There's a pretty strong argument that both Totoro and Spirited Away are set in the real world, too.
Oof. Why would you not use the English voices. The Japanese dub is so much worse
