As an engineering student, I fell in love with this movie because it portrays engineers doing what they’re passionate about so well. Jiro’s excitement in childhood, his love for the craft of others, and the beauty of the creative process are all shown so incredibly. Hands down, the best ghibli movie
I started to study engineering because of this movie. Took me four years to become a mechatronics engineer. One of the best things i've ever did in my life.
I wish you all the best on your journey
I also study engineering and loved this movie for similar reasons. Especially the moral uncertainties about working in a field which sometimes results in bad effects (e.g. war, environmental exploitation, etc.). Those difficult questions made me really resonate with Jiro.
I find that my opinion also aligns with yours. Watching another person learn and enjoying the technical aspects of aerospace engineering and enjoy them is a subject which I can relate to on a very personal level.
this film should have won the fucking oscar, fuck frozen
Agreed
It took every ounce of my strength not to respond "Let it go" but you are speaking the truth
Of course American prefer giving their mid disney movie rather than this kind of masterpiece. The fact that it is not even nominated in the best animated movie is criminal
Frozen got the award over this masterpiece?
Fuck humanity.

This and “Whisper of the Heart” are my favorite Ghibli films. The stories just draw you in so much. I also love “Kiki’s Delivery Service” especially because the scenery/backgrounds are gorgeous.
I was dubious picking engineering while I was in high school... As an Indian parents are always on ur head to chose engineering... But watching this movie gave me strength... Engineering isn't just abt the money and stability... It can be abt creating art and passion and dreams... And this film ahowed this to me... Now I am in my second year and even though its difficult I am enjoying it... And when I dont I have wind rises to turn to
i think this was a perfect portrayal of a passionate man doing what he loves. no matter what may come of it. the philosophies presented throughout this movie in recurring themes is absolutely phenomenal. and the dual love story, one with flight, and one with his wife. is simultaneously heartbreaking. i just watched this movie, and ive seen many different things. this is the first one to ever make me cry at the end
Thank you for this video. I just watched the movie and left feeling emotional. It became my favorite Ghibli film, and I didn't expect it. Your video cemented this conclusion. Good luck with your channel, it has a lot of potential!
Você por aqui? Kkkk
Personally I agree with you about The Wind Rises being my favorite Studio ghibli film. I've always been a fan of non fiction themed movies, with Grave of the Fireflies being my second favorite Studio ghibli film and Porrco Rosso being my third favorite. Your video helped highlight some other aspects of why this film is a masterpiece. Can't wait for your review of The Boy and the Heron.
It was so good that the first studio Ghibli movie I rewatched on Netflix today is the wind rises. When I was small, my favourite ones were howl moving castle and spirited away. Now I see this movie is full of realism and beauty at the same time. It portrays the love of craft that engineers have.
Just finished TWR mere minutes ago and I am glad to have found your channel. I feel similar to you and it was nice to hear your thoughts on the movie and the creator behind it. So, thank you.
This and "The Boy and the Heron" are my top 2 favorite Ghibli. The two most profoundly summative "farewell" movies from the legend himself.
I bet he’s going to make more “farewell” films lol
The Wind Rises will be 10/10 for me if they develop the romance better. That part where Jiro proposed to Nahoko after they meet as an adult for like 2 weeks honestly make me flip. Still a great movie tho. But I wish Miyazaki made Nahoko a bigger role in the film. That part where Jiro helped her and her maid in the earthquake is not enough to introduce her, they rarely even talk each other there
Playing devil's advocate here, getting married that quick is pretty common in Japan especially during that time period
I mean the thing is because Nahoko's got tuberculosis and that they're on a restrained amount of time together they're forced to marry as quick as they did. Nahoko and Jiro clicked immediately and were in love, but they didn't plan to get married as quick as they did I feel.
The Wind Rises is not only my favorite Ghibli movie, but one of my favorite movies period.
Amazing video! My personal favorite is Only Yesterday, but The Wind Rises is a very close second.
Thank you! I need to check out Only Yesterday soon
my man! Only Yesterday is one of my favourites
mine will always be whisper of the heart but the wind rises has such a special place in my heart. It’s so beautiful
The Wind Rises IS the best. It's mature, historic, slow-paced, non-child protagonist, very different than many other Ghibli films. I watched after I switched to being an engineering student and I LOVE it. 🥲🥲🥲
I saw this film when i was at my absolute lowest in life in the beginning of 2020. I was without an job, i had no money, i've been taking care of an cancer-sick family member and was trapped inside because of harsh corona-restrictions in my country (germany). I saw this movie and i regained my passion for science. I decieded to study mechatronic engineering, i also got a job as a programmer to earn some money beside studying. Now almost four years later i work as a development engineer for electric drives, got married a month ago and start building a house in March 2024. This movie will forever hold a special place in my heart because it motivated me so much.
its also war crime apologia
@@jb76489lmfao shut the hell up
This mpvie is good but Howl's moving castle is better
Grave of fireflies deserves an honorable mention. The story is enough to move even the hardened drama‐movie watcher that I am. God what a sad movie 😭
that was the first movie in my entire life to actually make me sob. i’m tearing up just thinking about it 🥲
With the newst Ghibli movie in front of us it's time to go memory lane on everything the studio made thus far. My favorite Ghibli movie is Pom Poko
That’s a good choice!
I cried at the end of this movie.....its just so beutiful,the music,the characters,the visuals all of it is just so beutiful I am in love with this movie and i hope you understand why
I cried watching this masterpiece it’s amazing ❤
I love this film so damn much and it makes me so sad that it isn’t as well loved as other ghibli movies
I increasingly share this opinion. My first viewing of this film in theaters back in 2013 left me feeling numb, but with every subsequent viewing I discover something new and deeply meaningful. The questions it poses can never truly be answered and there’s a real sense of horror and beauty in that, just as there is in creation.
i am numb rigt now, it did not cause me to tear up but left me with the feeling to watch it nd discover new meaning
The ending was bittersweet 😭
you're so good at this work my man,
so honest with your feelings
so honest with your words
loved the poetic review

The wind rises has been my favorite ever since I first saw it
Literally my favourite as an engineering girlie. And I also just love it for its overall storytelling.
Recently i rumbled around that ghibli studio movie are great and just randomly downloaded the wind rises and it now become my one of the favorite movie, i just like the stillness of the movie and depth and emotions
hell yes! I agree with you one hundred percent! The Wind Rises is one of the best works from Studio Ghibli and it is sooo underrated
The Wind Rises was my favorite for the longest time. Currently it’s The Princess Mononoke but I always felt that this film deserves more praise
for me it game me flashbacks oppenheimer, just like jiro, robert dedicated his life to his profession and was in love with it. Shadowlands, naoko appeared in jiro's life and gave it meaning to it apart from just engineering the same way joy gresham inserted life into cs Lewis's life. also reminded me of porco rosso due to the imagery of the planes in afterlife
I LOVE "The Wind Rises" 💗❤💗
You got a subscriber today. I like Howl's Moving Castle the most but Spirited Away is objectively the best one imo. The wind rises is great though finished it just yesterday. Felt bad for the girl. Also pin please?
This was my first Studio Ghibli film, and my second-ever anime film experience. Today, it makes me cry
Perhaps someone's favorite movie might be on how well they can relate to it. I think I relate to Jiro more than I do to other characters or stories from Ghibli - thus it's the most moving movie for me.
The Wind Rises was the first Studio Ghibli movie I ever watched. I knew nothing at all about Studio Ghibli or anime in general. But I was drawn to the story because I am an artist who loves to paint clouds. I was spellbound from the very first frame!
The Wind Rises is just my favorite film. Very rare to see engineers portrayed as human instead of sci-fi tech wizards.
This movie kinda reminds me of oppenheimer in multiple ways. I just watched this and i really enjoyed it 8/10. Was kind of confused at times cuz it just timejumps multiple years out of no where. And what are the ages of jiro and his wife cuz she looked like a little girl around 12 years old when they first meet while he was like 20. Kinda of a strange age gap between them that i dont see anyone talking about😅
I’ve known this sense I was 9 I’ll come back when I’m finished the video
Finally, I have found a video about why Wind Rises is a masterpiece! It is my favorite Studio Ghibli and favorite anime film in general ever. And I will never forget Oscar for choosing Frozen and I will never support any frozen related content.
will there be another part? i know it was partially based on a true story but i cant stop crying😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I The Wind Rises is not my favourite but my son loved it from age 7 until now. I love all Ghibli movies, hard to pick a fav.
I Just finished this movie..... Cant stop crying....
Fuck yeah. Im 100 percent on your side on this topic! I did see the new Boy and the haron. Today. And it was not what I was thinking it was going to be. 7/10 . But The wind rises is a fantstic 10/10!
SOMEONE FINALY SAYS IT!
I really want to see this. I'm in Silicon Valley where stuff like this is hard to get. Fortunately I know a hole-in-the-wall place in Japantown where I can buy it on DVD. Expensive, but it might be worth it.
Netflix
aniwatch
He probably wants to keep the DVD as a memory though.
omg sonny boy pfp ??>>>
Yes! I love Sonny Boy!
Sadly the boy and the heron did not even hold a candle to this level of story telling, Spectacle for spectacles sake. So much could have been said about a boy coming to terms with the loss of his mother and learning to cope with his father‘s choice to replace his mother with his aunt.
I really appreciate it and I would like your permission to use it as inspiration for my own video thanks
Sure :)
@@ReturningSunn thanks you very much really
I think Earthsea is a good movie, too. I like it. Not Ghibli's best one, but not comparable to the low quality of Earwig... I think Kaguya is Ghibli's best movie: Beautifully painted and a real hommage to the magic of a human life!
My ramking would be:
#1: Kaguya
#2: Spirited Away
#3: Mononoke
#4: The Boy and the Heron
#5: Totoro
But all Ghibli movies are especially great (except of Earwig)!
Whisper of the Heart is my favorite Ghibli movie, but The Wind Rises comes a close second!!
This film is my favourite ghibli movie.
Huh I did not see Kurosawa using his notes for Stray dog for High and Low. The second half is an investigation I guess, but still not that similar
I wasn’t referring to the stories. I was mostly referring to how they build up their suspense/finales similarly to one another, not the narratives themselves.
I also found the “antagonists” of both films to be pretty similar when comparing their direct connections to the protagonists, and how they’re characterized in their last moments of the films.
It's Ha-ya-o Miyazaki with 3 distinct syllables.
Got me doing electrical engineering lol.
I need back the girl on part 2 please you need movie new part 2 to the wind rises
First time i seen it i thought the wind rises is boring. Second time I appreciated it more
Rich.
Marv.
I respectfully disagree. I think their best movie is grave of fireflies
My personal favorite is Howl's Moving Castle. I had to force myself to stop watching it, because I watched it 4 times within 2 months.
Haha a fellow Howl and Sophie fan here
True, they are so charming!
Grave of the Fireflies is hands down the best storytelling Studio Ghibli ever done. The wind rises is mixed bag for me, given Japan's role in WWII. I understand it. I genuinely like vagueness, ambivalence, open endednesss and general grey areas when it comes to ethics, morality and life in general in art. That being said, this film also makes me really really angry
I think The Boy and The Heron is better
Although the wind rises is second, the third I forgot its not quite popular
Mine’s porco rosso. Rather be a pig than a fascist
Japan surrenders!!
Whilst I agree that the movie had its moments, I didn't appreciate the portrayal of women and I found that it was quite sad. It is unfair to say that both characters were trying to make the relationship work, maybe at some points, but it was always Naoko who stayed home and did everything she could. I understand the point of the movie was to be unsatisfying, but it ends up romanticising neglectful men.
Well no, it's not romanticizing that at all, it's just portraying the reality. You must not have seen any of Ghibli's other movies if you think that they want to be portraying women in that way lol, basically all of the movies in the Ghibli catalog have had a female be the main character, a female who is trying to make her own way. Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Whisper of the Heart, etc. But those movies aren't based on historical events, this one is. For the majority of history, the woman has stayed at home while the man is out working and providing, it was no different during WW2. And tbh, Naoko made multiple independent decisions in this movie even though she was told not to make them, not to mention the fact that she has tuberculosis, I really don't understand what point you're trying to make. Ridiculous.
For me this movie really shows what a massive hypocrite Miyazaki is. He won’t enter the us out of protest of their actions in the Middle East then turns around and makes a movie romanticizing the Japanese MIC that enabled some of the most brutal war crimes in history
I guess he’s kinds like the Japanese equivalent of a holocaust denier
Miyazaki doesnt romanticize war, but airplanes. Airplanes are objects with inner beauty that can be used for good or bad things.
In the movie, the protagonist lives all this beauty accepting that it can have death inside, like her wife.
I remember seeing an interview where Miyazaki said that Japan should apologize China for the second Sino-Japanese war. So clearly, he is strongly against Japan joining second world war and the war crime that Japan commited.
If you'd watched the movie, you'd realise that ultimately the movie denounces war.
Jiro is shown to have regret over his dream plane being used to commit war crimes.
It’s similar to Oppenheimer, and how J. Robert Oppenheimer showed remorse over his invention (which he thought would be used in combat) was used to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
If you think about it, Oppenheimer is a companion piece to The Wind Rises, but on the opposite side of the war.
Finally someone with good taste!
