"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. The film
chronicles much of his life, depicting key historical events, including
the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Great Depression, the
tuberculosis epidemic and Japan's plunge into war. Jiro meets and falls
in love with Nahoko, and grows and cherishes his friendship with his
colleague Honjo. 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."
Hooray, the trailer is out!
Miyazaki-Sensei has always been fond of flying and aeroplanes. It's one
of his recurring themes, and of course the studio itself is named after
an aeroplane in turn named after a wind.
