The Wind Rises
CriticsCritics: 86
AudienceAudience: 8.0
A lifelong love of flight leads a young Japanese engineer into a career designing aircraft during a turbulent period in his country’s history. As his professional ambitions grow, dreams of aviation intertwine with a tender romance and the difficult realities surrounding his work.
My takeYou’ll enjoy this if you like patient, visually beautiful stories about ambition, romance, and dreams, especially with a reflective mood similar to 5 Centimeters per Second; Not for you if you want fast action or a tightly focused plot.
