THE WIND RISES
Introduced by Prof. Eileen Cheng-yin Chow (AMES) / Q&A to follow!
(Hayao Miyazaki, 2013, 126 min, Japan, in Japanese, German, Italian, and French w/ English subtitles, Color, Blu-Ray)
In The Wind Rises, Jiro dreams of flying and designing beautiful
airplanes, inspired by the famous Italian aeronautical designer
Caproni. Nearsighted from a young age and unable to be a pilot,
Jiro joins a major Japanese engineering company in 1927 and
becomes one of the world’s most innovative and accomplished
airplane designers. He meets and falls in love with Nahoko and
grows and cherishes his friendship with his colleague Honjo. In his
final feature-length film, writer and director Hayao Miyazaki pays
tribute to engineer Jiro Horikoshi and author Tatsuo Hori in this
epic tale of love, perseverance, and the challenges of living and
making choices in a turbulent world.
