The Wind Rises	comment	The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachinu) is a 2013 animated film from Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. Said to be his last film until he announced that he would be working on another that will be his last, it is a highly fictionalised biography of Jiro Horikoshi, a gifted aeronautics engineer who is famous for being the chief designer of many war planes used by the Japanese military, most notably the (in)famous Mitsubishi A6M "Zero".The story opens on Jiro Horikoshi (voiced by Hideaki Anno in Japanese, Joseph Gordon-Levitt in English) as a young boy in rural Japan. His acute myopia makes it impossible for him to be a pilot. Inspired by a dream featuring Caproni, a famed Italian aeronautic engineer, he resolves to become a designer of airplanes — despite a prophetic warning from Caproni that such machines could be put to evil uses.The film follows Jiro around the world and across the years in his life-long quest. He becomes an engineering student remarkable for his insight and his love of the art, which in this time period (c. 1925-1940) was in its infancy. Caught in the middle of a train trip by the Great Kanto Earthquake, he has a chance encounter with Naoko, the daughter of a wealthy family, and helps the girl and her maid find their way home before traveling on to the university... where he must promptly join the effort to keep it from burning down in the wake of the earthquake.After his graduation, Jiro and his friend and fellow engineer Honjo are hired by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and sent to their aviation division in Nagoya. He struggles against the massive technology gap that separates Japan from America and the European nations, and in time is sent to their ally Germany to learn from their foremost aeronautical engineer, Count Junkers. Eventually he returns to Japan as a senior engineer at the company, still working on the airplane he can see in his dreams.His company is struggling to gain a military contract in the midst of a stagnant economy, and they pin their hopes on Jiro's newest project. In the midst of this crisis he is reunited with Naoko, and learns that she has contracted tuberculosis and doesn't expect to live much longer. They beg for her father's permission for a hurried marriage and she joins him in Kyoto, despite the risks to her health. In the end, he completes the design he'd been dreaming of for years, but the test-flight that should be the greatest moment of his life is marred by tragedy.In a Distant Epilogue, Jiro walks through the wreckage of his creations — destroyed by war, or dismantled by the terms of the treaty that ended it — and dreams again of meeting Caproni, who asks him, "Was it worth it?"The Wind Rises was the final Ghibli film released by Disney in North America prior to GKIDS buying out the film license, and brought the North American distribution partnership between Disney and Ghibli to a close after nineteen years 1 although Disney's Japan division still continues to release subsequent Ghibli films on home media in Japan..Definitely not to be confused with When the Wind Blows.

The Wind Rises / int_2fcf9bbc	comment	Gratuitous Foreign Language: Count Caproni speaks Italian when he first appears in Jiro's dreams, albeit with a nigh-impenetrably thick Japanese accent. Stanley Tucci, an Italian-American himself, also speaks that particular language in the dub with an Italian accent. The Arc Words are initially given in French. The Germans in the film speak German despite being (apparently) fluent in Japanese. Castorp himself is voiced by German film director Werner Herzog in the English language dub, with his BBC flavored accent; he even sings Castorp's part in the film's rendition of "Das gibt's nur einmal". American Steve Alpert voices the part in the original Japanese dub. The guests at the hotel Jiro stays in sing part of "Das gibt's nur einmal" together. Justified, as the song was actually quite popular in 1930s Japan.

Jiro's glasses are also used to bookend the movie. At the beginning they are seen resting at the head of his bed, and he puts them on. After his "10 years" as a designer, Naoko returns them there. The rest of the movie is essentially epilogue: the test flight remains, but Jiro's part is done and he won't see Naoko again.

However, his designs are also used as war machines that brought death and destruction, first to the enemy and then to Japan itself. Jiro also neglects his dying wife in order to finish the design, and when she senses that she has little time left, she secretly returns to the sanatorium and dies away from Jiro, choosing to leave only happy memories behind. Jiro also states that none of the planes he designed ever returned home from the war. Additionally, it's implied that Jiro, much like Caproni before him, has lived past his engineering prime and will never surpass the limits of what they have already accomplished. Having resigned to these truths, Jiro agrees to relax with Caproni in their dream world.

While he is harsh and seemingly negative most of the time he also tries his best to protect Jiro from the Secret Police, offers him (and later, his wife Naoko) a place to live, and serves as witness at their impromptu wedding. He also gives Jiro credit where it is due, as shown by him saying Jiro's self-held engineering seminar was "a revelation" despite his face looking angry as usual, and advises Jiro to avoid situations where he would be in competition with Honjo, as friendship is always more important. Jiro's sister likewise acts like she's permanently annoyed with him, but she cares about her brother and especially Naoko.

The Wind Rises / int_c3478f1d	comment	Badass Bookworm: Even as a kid, Jiro is quite a bookworm, eager to read a foreign language aviation magazine. Furthermore, when he confronts some bullies, he neatly throws one over with a judo throw, and the scene immediately cuts to him with only a smug look on his face, suggesting he handled the rest of the fight with little difficulty.

The Wind Rises / int_e11b003d	comment	The Germans in the film speak German despite being (apparently) fluent in Japanese. Castorp himself is voiced by German film director Werner Herzog in the English language dub, with his BBC flavored accent; he even sings Castorp's part in the film's rendition of "Das gibt's nur einmal". American Steve Alpert voices the part in the original Japanese dub.

This discussion is accompanied by a brief Flash Forward scene in which exactly that is happening when American fighters swoop down on a formation of Nell bombers. In reality, the Zero fighter fell victim to this same flaw later in the war.

Miyazaki's mother also suffered from TB.

The Wind Rises / int_e4b69188	type	Very Loosely Based on a True Story
The Wind Rises / int_e4b69188	comment	Very Loosely Based on a True Story: While Jiro Horikoshi actually existed in Real Life, and he did design the aircraft shown in the movie, his Love Interest is fictional. He had an older brother instead of a younger sister and was married throughout the war, ultimately having five children. He was also a non-smoker despite his frequent smoking in the movie. Honjo graduated ahead of Horikoshi from Tokyo Imperial University. Much of the portrayal of Jiro Horikoshi, especially in regard to his personal life, is based on Tatsuo Hori instead, to whom the movie is dedicated as well. Two of Tatsuo Hori's novels, Kaze Tachinu and Naoko are major inspirations for the film. There are also elements of Miyazaki's father, Katsuji, in Jiro. Miyazaki Sr. was an aeronautical engineer in the era and his wife had TB. Finally, Horikoshi continued his aeronautical engineering career after the war being on the design team for the 1962 NAMC YS-11, a civilian transport plane. It was supposed to show off Japanese technological prowess for the 1964 Olympics carrying the torch but that honor ultimately went to the Shinkansen and the YS-11 went into service just as the jetliners were beginning to kill civilian prop planes.

Hans Castorp is the protagonist of Thomas Mann's novel The Magic Mountain, and there visits a relative with TB at a sanatorium (and contracts the disease). Miyazaki's Castorp mentions the magic mountain several times, and his topics are sympathetic to Mann.

Many, as Japan was decades behind the major powers in terms of industry and aeronautic engineering at the time. Examples include A1N and B1M, as both struggle to take off and land on an aircraft carrier, spewing engine oil everywhere, including on Jiro and Kurokawa. Kurokawa even commented "that's what Japanese airplane/engine is" when riding on one.

Mitsubishi was also involved in every Studio Ghibli film as a member of its production committee since Spirited Away. Another case of product placement (albeit for a now-discontinued brand) would be Jiro's Japanese cigarettes being branded Cherry; a real brand of Japanese cigarettes that were Miyazaki's preferred brand, before they were discontinued following radioactive contamination from the Fukushima incident.

The Wind Rises / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
The Wind Rises / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: All planes shown in the movie existed in real life, and their depictions are accurate. Yes, even the gigantic airplanes in Jiro's dreams are real. Engineering is accurate: the animation shows realistic airframes (including cutaway views) and depicts real problems (such as aeroelastic flutter) accurately. Jiro may talk about wings being shaped like a mackerel bone, but we also see him filling pages with mathematical calculations. He's an engineer, not an artist. The scenes at the sanitorium are quite accurate to the period the movie is set in. In the early 20th century, it was thought that high altitudes and fresh air helped fight tuberculosis infections, so sanitoriums were typically built in the mountains and patients were often kept outside, weather permitting. While those turned out to be mistaken beliefs, there was a a third reason for the treatment that did actually wind up being true: doctors of the day believed (correctly, as it would later be found out) that tuberculosis died when exposed to the sun. It turns out ultraviolet light (including sunlight) is an effective germicide and, for TB specifically, helps reduce the spread of the disease by up to 70%.
