I absolutely wanted to love this film, but even with tons of things to like, I don't feel the heart, blood and sweat that usually seem to go into Ghibli movies. It felt by-the-books, pleasure-less, unexciting. I was bored.

@acidfreecookies I felt the same about Porco Rosso. It took me longer than usual for a Miyazaki piece, but I found both the emotional truths and the exploration of ingenuity to be inspiring! "Inspiration unlocks the future" - good stuff!

Beautiful, heart-warming and tragic events entwined in this amazing movie - a true Miyazaki, nothing less.

¿Quién ha visto el viento? Ni tú ni yo lo hemos visto, pero el viento sopla y hace que tiemblen las hojas.
Que el viento haga vibrar estas alas para llegar a ti.

A good final effort by Miyazaki which, while well-made with some very nice moments, ultimately suffered because of its subject matter; there's a limit to how interesting you can make a film about a guy who wants to make really nice planes.

A really nice film, if you get involved in the somewhat disjointed plot. But the representation of a tuberculosis disease is already highly wrong from a medical point of view. (Topic infection and course of the disease).

This was too normal for a Studio Ghibli film. It was beautiful and had an important message just like they all do, but it fell somewhat flat for me, personally. Still, it was great to watch a biopic in the animated format, it’s not a very common pursuit.

The original title of the film is Kaze tachinu.

A bit different Ghibli, this biopic of Jiro Horikoshi. Since I'm not that much of a huge fan of some fantasy Ghiblis I apprectiated the story telling a lot. Didn't like the movies such as Ponyo but could also miss some of the fairytale element from Porco Rosso or Monoke. But it was a pleasant sidestep: the chemistry between Jiro and Nanoko was amazing, havent felt a romantic plot this much for a whole and it was heartbraking to see. I also liked the hommage to the avation part, you could tell Miyazaki was a great fan of airplanes in general, but the Zero even more, even when theyre sort of the pyramids of that time. Great movie!

Wonderful film. Feels like a spiritual successor to Grave Of The Fireflies.

So... this will officially be the last film from Miyazaki. I'm certain it won't be long for Takahata to join him :(.

Clearly for adults rather than kids, a bit slow but still enjoyed it
