The Wind Rises Soundtrack: Joe Hisaishi - A Journey

There are lots of subtleties and hidden messages in this movie about politics, innovation, morality and human ingenuity. Scientists and Innovators can really relate on to this animation. Wubba Lubba Dub Dub

Coming from a family deeply rooted in aviation and engineering since its earliest stages (of aviation), and being an aspiring engineer in mechatronics myself, this film resonated very deeply with me. I see my dad, who is in his late 60s now, sitting, bored at his desk, mulling over endless safety procedures and regulations he needs to conform designs to, and I know that more than anything else in that moment he wishes for a drafting desk and stand, pen and paper and a vision to create something beautiful. When this film came out, I took my dad to go see it. Needless to say he grumbled about it being 'for children' and that he hadn't watched cartoons in years. By the end of it he came out saying it was one of the best films he'd seen, with a tear in his eye. I believe it resonated so deeply in him, and to an extent myself because he can appreciate and understand everything Jirou goes through in the film, and he understands the wish to make a beautiful plane, all to his own design so that he might see it fly someday. I honestly think sometimes he longs for the days when such things were possible, and it doesn't take teams of hundreds of engineers just to create a single part of a new design. This movie transported him, for an all to short two hours, to that time and that place. Thanks for reading to the end anyway :)

Watching this film made me rethink wanting to be a pilot, made me think that maybe I should design planes instead however I decided I don’t want to accidentally make a plane that kills its own pilot. The fact that this movie made me rethink my life decision is a good enough reason for me to recommend it to my friends

 @abandonedchannel281  You wrote, "I don’t want to accidentally make a plane that kills its own pilot". I'm retired from the USAF where I worked as an F-15 avionics repair technician. Believe me, I felt the same edginess whenever I worked on some of those black boxes. There was always the worry that something I worked on might fail at the worst possible time. I learned very quickly to pay very close attention to getting it right.

The ending where he walks off with Caproni in his dream is a very subtle ending to Hayao Miyazaki's career.

Miyazaki really meet Caproni descendants who offered all these original plans from their engineer ancestors, like a blessing during Porco Rosso making. He never forget it to salute them in this movie!

Didn't he just release a new film though?

Herpidus Derpicus They say that this is going to be his FINAL film, because he wants to make his grandson a movie before he finally passes away. (That's what I read on Wikipedia I think)

Hmmmmm very subtle

SMGJohn, not even then like, can you consider the career of people like Exupery "done"? their works will never stop blessing us with people "like" Miyazaki or Exupery.

"Listen to me, Japanese boy. Airplanes are not tools for war. They are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality". I love this quote. I think it fits well with any profession connected with art. Artists do their business not for money, but for creating something that never existed. I want to become a music composer. I want to compose music for something as great as Studio Ghibli movies. For me music is "beautiful dreams", and I want to turn these dreams into reality.

Man, I've always wanted to be an aeronautical engineer, to design aircraft. The whole reason I'm interested in military aviation isn't really because of their destructive nature, as much the beauty in those sleek, supersonic birds of prey. It's what they can do, the fact that they can truly push a person to their absolute limits.

The ending is quite ironic. Jiro was just a little kid who dreamed to make beautiful planes then many years later he created the Mitsubishi A6M "Zero". This fighter participated to the Attack of Pearl Harbor and was the icon of the Pacific War. In the beginning of the conflict, the Zero was the pride of Japan and was considered as the best fighter of the world in 1942 with its manoeuvrabilty and long range. However after 1943, the Zero became obsolete when F6F, P51, P38 and F4U were introduced during the war. At the end of war the mighty Zero ended as symbol of despair and tragedy. Thousands were used for kamikazes attacks. Thousands of young pilots lost their lives in those Zero. How do you feel when your creation was used to start a war, killing thousands of pilots and condemned Japan to its destruction with firebombing of cites ?

There was a war in Japan. From the Taisho Era to the Showa Era, In 1920s Japan, People sufferd life with The Great Depression, poverty, disease and The Great Kanto earthquake. Then, Japan plunged into war. How did Japan's youth survive such a time? Friendship and respect, across time and space, for the Italian aircraft designer Caproni. The birth of the later-mythicized Zero fighter. The meeting and parting with the beautiful, ill-fated girl Nahoko. This film tell the story of Jiro Horikoshi, who lived during those turblent times. We must live. A tribute to Jiro Horikoshi and Tatsuo Hori

Seems like most people enjoyed the surface sadness of the film which Jiro's lost love. However, I hope they do pay attention to Japan's history at the time and Jiro's cursed dream. I believe that's what Miyazaki wished for when he created this deep movie.

 @aniket8350  wow really this movie lost to frozen? :(
186
 @castronimussi6050  its probably because oscar is based on popularity not the quality of the music or movie Besides its an american award, have you ever seen any other movies winning an oscar other than spirited away and parasites?
467
This is because this was not shown to most people or kids. Ghibli fans would've seen it. Non ghibli fans were unlikely to see it. If disneys frozen and Ghiblis The Wind Rises was in theaters for the first time more people would've gone to the showing of Frozen just because of the disney animator. If the animators were reverse(disney made this movie and ghibli made frozen) This would've won oscars hands down.

I heard it's rude to compare a masterpieace to another art

Idk man,, i think this movie is not for everyone, and frozen quality is bellow the wind rises, but more criticus chose frozen

It was one of the greatest crimes in animation history. This movie literally made me cry my eyes out well after leaving the theater. One of the saddest love stories in anime I’ve ever had the privilege of watching.

We all know the Oscars is bs.

Probably because a movie about a guy who designed planes that killed Americans wouldn't win an American award. I know the movie doesn't focus on that but it still happened.

I didn't cried while watching the movie, but I cried over to hear this music. We always get older, and the dream and present is sometimes violent or cruel and totally different from what we imagined. But we must live and go forward because life is not worthless. I'm a hopeless geek of Studio Ghibli and movies always give me a positive view and courage of my life.
65
The fact that Frozen was picked as the best animated feature over this proves that the Oscars are completely unqualified to judge anything.

As an aspiring Aerospace engineer, this film not only spoke to me on an incredibly personal level, but inspired me to keep striving to do what I love. The beauty and wonder that airplanes excite in me was a feeling that I never thought I'd see expressed on screen, but this film perfectly encapsulates those emotions, and its only made me even more in love with aviation. Thanks for the incredible film, Miyazaki.

As a translator, you often will find the true beauty of a piece of art simply by taking a closer look at its name or title. The original title "風立ちぬ" contains a very old fashioned perfective form that had been used up until WWII. Now, the quote at the beginning of the movie "風立ちぬ、いざ生きめやも" is actually a mistranslation based on some French poem. In the French poem, you could translate it as "[When/Now as] The wind is picking up, we must try to live.)) The Japanese 風立ちぬ、いざ生きめやも however means something completely different. In the context of the quote shown at the beginning of the movie, you can translate it as "[Now, as] the wind has risen, it's time, whether we are going to live or die. This might not just be a hint towards Japanese war propaganda and the attitude of the "winds of the gods" (kamikaze - Japanese air force) but it also points towards that girl with tuberculosis who knew that she is gonna die eventually. Especially, as there is also a novel named 風立ちぬ (The Wind Has Risen) written in 1937 by Hori Tatsuo featuring a man who cares for his wife as she contracted tuberculosis. (And Miyazaki said he took inspiration from that book. And Hori Tatsuo was inspired by the French poem () and he was the one who translated it) Following that logic of the Japanese original quote, you will come to the same conlusion that "you should live every day as if it would be your last, no matter what is going to happen" which is almost identical in meaning to the French poem and the English translation (The wind is rising, we must live). However, the title only features "風立ちぬ" which, if it stands on its own, can also mean "風立った" (The wind rose). This suits the ending of the movie quite well as the girl said to be like the wind has died and from the kamikaze air planes who rose up into the sky, not one single plane came back, the war is over and most importantly: Miyazaki wanted to end his career with that final film, maybe because his train/wind of creativity had faded after almost twenty years of creating beautiful animations. Maybe, that's also one of the film's messages: If you are blessed by the wind of creativity and you feel the urge to create something beautiful, as an artist or engineer - go for it, no matter what.

I'm glad Ghibli at least acknowledged the horror of war, not just as a victim, but also as an invader. Jiro is a calm man, who seems always disconnected from the world, and had the talent to make beautiful aircrafts that are made for war. The engineers knew that their products are being used for mass destruction, but did not question the morality of it. They lived a comfortable elite life style while the nation rewarded their talents. They know it but were always a little bit disconnected with the poverty in their nation and death toll of other nations. In the end Jiro is left with nothing, his planes are gone, no pilots returned, his wife is gone, and is left alone in the world but "must try to live". The war left a scar even on people who have made a living off of it. His wife might have lived if the war was not going on, if she could have received antibiotics earlier on, but the import was severely disrupted due to the war. And Jiro's career is something that definitely made international trades harder by fueling the war with weapons. Miyazaki and Suzuki Toshio made this film because they wanted to show the audience that airplanes and cars were inventions of war and that they acknowledge the pain that came with those inventions. It is thought that Miyazaki made Jiro left with nothing because he wanted to remind the world that no one can be free from their doings after participating in war. Such a beautiful masterpiece with lots of meaning in disguise.

This is one of my most favorited anime movies of all time. As other comments have mentioned there are a lot of hidden meanings and subtle messages in this movie that delve into politics, innovation, morality, human ingenuity, and etc. But the one thing that stood out to me the most is the line " the wind rises, we must try to live". This line alone for me encapsulates the core message that permeates throughout the movie. You have this dream, but the wind rises, meaning change is coming, unexpected ventures that will challenge you deeply. Yet we still must try to live, meaning we have to find our way around it and fulfill our dreams how we can. Maybe we won’t be capable to get what we wanted exactly the way we did, and maybe reality is so harsh we might not be able to get much. But we must try to live because it’s the only way to be happy. Try to live, the world is more real and beautiful than what you would first think of it. Life is about hope, sadness, reality, and dreams. So whatever makes you happy, live the way you want, that’s what you have to do when change comes. Your dream is your goal, try to live the path you choose to walk. God, I love this movie. This and Princess Mononoke are definitely my favorite Studio Ghibli movies.

There is also a short story called 'The Wind Has Risen' which seems to be Miyazaki's inspiration for the love story behind this film. It's worth it a read, and there you can see why tuberculosis was part of this love story.

My favorite Studio Ghibli film of all time, it doesn't get any better than this in my opinion.

Came across this movie a year after it was released and it was actually the year I got into anime but only watched it today. And I got this urge to make aircraft because of how beautifully it was brought. Today I want to create airplanes, yesterday I wanted to make songs, the day before I wanted to build a cafe, my dream constantly changes. But this movie reminded me that it is the motivation to create that keeps one going. It's not about the direction that the wind blows in, but the fact that it keeps on rising. As long as I get reminded of this not only will I keep on trying to live, but also be thankful for each passing day and each burst of inspiration I get. Thank you Ghibli.

The greatest and most saddest movie of Hiyao miazaki. This should have won the Oscar but no, they have to give it to the stupid frozen. This is a masterpiece. Frozen can't come even close to this.

I just want to be free while listening to this.This soundtrack really is beautiful. It feels like a lot more than what I said, and again, looking at the past lisening to this soundtrack makes me cry. And it's simply been 12 years in my life. The composer of this song did a phenomenal job. I gave all the credit in the world to him/her.

Sounds like my childhood is escaping through my fingers as I grow older, but the nostalgia remain the same.

it really has deep meaning you never realized yet. if airplanes are dreams, nahoko's airplane was jiro. while she was sick and dying, she really tried her best to build that airplane which was jiro. the day she left, she knew she successfully built that plane and ready to be flown away jiro said none of his planes came back, same can really be said for nahoko, she will never meet the airplane again which was jiro 😭😭

Beautiful movie I felt tears when she went to sanatorium in the end ❤ yknow studio ghibli movies always tend to wake our deep emotions within us they always outclass Disney with their art style and story themes.
I got inspired by this film. i used to dream about being a pilot but that seem to be impossible because of my bad eyesight so i decided to abandoned that dream but after a while i was introduced to this beautiful movie which make my dream come true... well not really. Im planning to become an aircraft engineer. Its beautiful and weird to be inspired by a film but still after i watched this film i got the motive to be an aircraft engineer. Well the lesson is to never give up. Goodbye. -A person

i like deep, gentle music like this. It makes me more comfortable and relaxed. Whenever i can't sleep, i turn on anime music without lyrics. It makes me forget stress and have goodnight's sleep

The main character had an amazing journey of a life, as an artist and an engineer, and I think Miyazaki could identify with him as an artist. This music perfectly represents that 10 years, the pain of failure, and the welling, unstoppable push of innovation and technology racing forward with time. In the middle of that, one man floats along, and finds simple love and happiness. And it's beautiful. It's more beautiful because he experienced it all, bittersweet, don't you think?

Everyone has a special moment with a ghibli movie, I was lucky enough to have two. The first was when I first saw princess mononoke as a kid and fell in love with the animation styles and storytelling of japanese animation, and then secondly after many years of tragedy and depression, I saw this movie and heard this song, and it kind of just.... melted away, and replaced it with hope.
That piano bit at 2:57 always gets me. Can't not feel melancholic listening to that

Hauntingly beautiful. Joe Hisaishi will forever remain the best composer in me.
I started watching this movie with low expectations, boy was I wrong.

When I first saw Spirited Away, I was maybe 2 or even younger or to be more precise, it was 2006. From that moment till this day bond between me and Studio Ghibli is something that I treasure the most. This feeling of fragility I feel when I listen or watch any of Mr. Miyazaki's movies I can't describe. I feel like porcelain that could be broken anytime. But, that feeling of pure happiness is what I treasure the most. Whisper of the Heart helped me through my bad depression and, WAAH, I'm emotional, I'm extremely grateful for their creativity and beautiful minds. Thanks! bows down
At first, I didn't know what to think of this piece of music. Actually, I found it boring after listening to it the first time. Then, three years passed and I listened to it again. My god do tastes change with time after experiencing new events in life. It really stands there with the other famous Ghibli themes Joe Hisaishi has written in the past. I still can't it'll probably be the last collaboration between Miyazaki-san and Hisaishi-san. Time goes as fast as a dragonfly passing by!

Was lucky to be able to see this in a theater when it came to the United States. Excellent film, and would have been a nearly perfect swan song for Miyazaki if he had stuck to his retirement. Considering the themes of the film, I believe that was his intention. I'm happy that we'll be receiving at least one more film from the master, but I think that the cost will be him throwing away the best farewell to the world he could have made.

After hearing this song I got a new reinvigorated and rekindled fire in my chest, from where I worked extra hard for the next 30 years, in the end having created a successful company engineering small aeroplanes for civilian use. I sold it at the age of 54 and retired early with a handsome fortune of 14.5 million dollars in the US currency. My family and I moved to the northern part of Italy near Sardinia, in the modest, but beautiful alpine village of Arezias. I had found a wife there some 20 years earlier, and sworn I would make it my home some day. We got 4 kids. In the summer we drive to the coast where our children practically sprint onto my boat from where we go fishing and swimming in the blue Mediterranean. Our oldest, Matteo, he is 16 and can already sail independently and can do a glorious job while I feel the ocean splashes on my face, relaxing. We also barbecue and invite friends and family over. I have become good friends with a butcher there, Giovanni. We talk about anything from our kids to football. He is a good friend. In the winter the night is chilly, but the nights are long and dark, which gives me plenty of time to look into the shining light that is my wife’s eyes, appreciating how wonderful and strange life is, and how in the end everything works out. We still live there today. The wind is rising, and we must try to live.

I always wanted to become an airplane engineer. Now that I saw this movie, I feel like I need to become an airplane engineer. This movie showed me my vocation, and my dreams... This story is so poetic, beautiful and tragic. It did something to me... it resonated in me. I love airplanes, since I was a little child. I remember me and my dad going to airplane shows and meetings. I will always do my best to make dreams possible, I will do pieces of art...

I looked forward to this film because I wanted to see it, but I was sad to think that it would be Miyazaki's last. Then I saw it, and knew that it was a film for adults, that had been made to appeal to kids. As a pilot who has flown planes that I designed and built (for fun!), I consider this one of the finest films ever made. My joy is increased by knowing that Miyazaki -- like all creative people -- can't put his talent aside for very long, and is working again.

"She wanted him to remember as she was" , the movie left me freakin empty for a minute or two , the void left in jiro's heart after her death and another inevitable deaths of pilots who went on war with his creation , the creation's sole purpose was the exact opposite to be precise!

Jiro did more than warplanes. He became a teacher after the war, so he gave the power of creation to generation of students. His wind is still blowing in them and will blow forever, just as the winds of previous creators gathered in him, making a new flow.
1
The planes that the real JIRO created were the fighter pilot planes used in World War Two to bomb pearl harbour, and its unfortunate because he has specifically said he never wanted his plans to be used for war, or harming others

Coming from a family deeply rooted in aviation and engineering since its earliest stages (of aviation), and being an aspiring engineer in mechatronics myself, this film resonated very deeply with me.
I see my dad, who is in his late 60s now, sitting, bored at his desk, mulling over endless safety procedures and regulations he needs to conform designs to, and I know that more than anything else in that moment he wishes for a drafting desk and stand, pen and paper and a vision to create something beautiful.
When this film came out, I took my dad to go see it. Needless to say he grumbled about it being 'for children' and that he hadn't watched cartoons in years.
By the end of it he came out saying it was one of the best films he'd seen, with a tear in his eye. 

I believe it resonated so deeply in him, and to an extent myself because he can appreciate and understand everything Jirou goes through in the film, and he understands the wish to make a beautiful plane, all to his own design so that he might see it fly someday. I honestly think sometimes he longs for the days when such things were possible, and it doesn't take teams of hundreds of engineers just to create a single part of a new design. This movie transported him, for an all to short two hours, to that time and that place.

Thanks for reading to the end anyway :)

I love this quote. I think it fits well with any profession connected with art. Artists do their business not for money, but for creating something that never existed. I want to become a music composer. I want to compose music for something as great as Studio Ghibli movies. For me music is "beautiful dreams", and I want to turn these dreams into reality.

Man, I've always wanted to be an aeronautical engineer, to design aircraft. The whole reason I'm interested in military aviation isn't really because of their destructive nature, as much the beauty in those sleek, supersonic birds of prey. It's what they can do, the fact that they can truly push a person to their absolute limits.

The ending is quite ironic.  Jiro was just a little kid who dreamed to make beautiful planes then many years later he created the Mitsubishi A6M "Zero". This fighter participated to the Attack of Pearl Harbor and was the icon of the Pacific War. In the beginning of the conflict, the Zero was the pride of Japan and was considered as the best fighter of the world in 1942 with its manoeuvrabilty and long range. However after 1943, the Zero became obsolete when F6F, P51, P38 and F4U were introduced during the war. 
At the end of war the mighty Zero ended as symbol of despair and tragedy. Thousands were used for kamikazes attacks. Thousands of young pilots lost their lives in those Zero.

How do you feel when your creation was used to start a war, killing thousands of pilots and condemned Japan to its destruction with firebombing of cites ?

This is because this was not shown to most people or kids.

Non ghibli fans were unlikely to see it.

If disneys frozen and Ghiblis The Wind Rises was in theaters for the first time
more people would've gone to the showing of Frozen just because of the disney animator.
If the animators were reverse(disney made this movie and ghibli made frozen)
This would've won oscars hands down.

Probably because a movie about a guy who designed planes that killed Americans wouldn't win an American award. I know the movie doesn't focus on that but it still happened.

I didn't cried while watching the movie, but I cried over to hear this music. We always get older, and the dream and present is sometimes violent or cruel and totally different from what we imagined. But we must live and go forward because life is not worthless. I'm a hopeless geek of Studio Ghibli and movies always give me a positive view and courage of my life.

As an aspiring Aerospace engineer, this film not only spoke to me on an incredibly personal level, but inspired me to keep striving to do what I love. The beauty and wonder that airplanes excite in me was a feeling that I never thought I'd see expressed on screen, but this film perfectly encapsulates those emotions, and its only made me even more in love with aviation. 


Thanks for the incredible film, Miyazaki.

As a translator, you often will find the true beauty of a piece of art simply by taking a closer look at its name or title.
The original title "風立ちぬ" contains a very old fashioned perfective form that had been used up until WWII. Now, the quote at the beginning of the movie "風立ちぬ、いざ生きめやも" is actually a mistranslation based on some French poem. In the French poem, you could translate it as "[When/Now as] The wind is picking up, we must try to live.))
The Japanese 風立ちぬ、いざ生きめやも however means something completely different. In the context of the quote shown at the beginning of the movie, you can translate it as "[Now, as] the wind has risen, it's time, whether we are going to live or die.
This might not just be a hint towards Japanese war propaganda and the attitude of the "winds of the gods" (kamikaze - Japanese air force) but it also points towards that girl with tuberculosis who knew that she is gonna die eventually. Especially, as there is also a novel named 風立ちぬ (The Wind Has Risen) written in 1937 by Hori Tatsuo featuring a man who cares for his wife as she contracted tuberculosis. (And Miyazaki said he took inspiration from that book. And Hori Tatsuo was inspired by the French poem () and he was the one who translated it)

Following that logic of the Japanese original quote, you will come to the same conlusion that "you should live every day as if it would be your last, no matter what is going to happen" which is almost identical in meaning to the French poem and the English translation (The wind is rising, we must live).
However, the title only features "風立ちぬ" which, if it stands on its own, can also mean "風立った" (The wind rose).
This suits the ending of the movie quite well as the girl said to be like the wind has died and from the kamikaze air planes who rose up into the sky, not one single plane came back, the war is over and most importantly: Miyazaki wanted to end his career with that final film, maybe because his train/wind of creativity had faded after almost twenty years of creating beautiful animations.
Maybe, that's also one of the film's messages: 
If you are blessed by the wind of creativity and you feel the urge to create something beautiful, as an artist or engineer - go for it, no matter what.

I'm glad Ghibli at least acknowledged the horror of war, not just as a victim, but also as an invader. Jiro is a calm man, who seems always disconnected from the world, and had the talent to make beautiful aircrafts that are made for war. 

The engineers knew that their products are being used for mass destruction, but did not question the morality of it. They lived a comfortable elite life style while the nation rewarded their talents. They know it but were always a little bit disconnected with the poverty in their nation and death toll of other nations. 

In the end Jiro is left with nothing, his planes are gone, no pilots returned, his wife is gone, and is left alone in the world but "must try to live". The war left a scar even on people who have made a living off of it. His wife might have lived if the war was not going on, if she could have received antibiotics earlier on, but the import was severely disrupted due to the war. And Jiro's career is something that definitely made international trades harder by fueling the war with weapons.

Miyazaki and Suzuki Toshio made this film because they wanted to show the audience that airplanes and cars were inventions of war and that they acknowledge the pain that came with those inventions. It is thought that Miyazaki made Jiro left with nothing because he wanted to remind the world that no one can be free from their doings after participating in war. Such a beautiful masterpiece with lots of meaning in disguise.

This is one of my most favorited anime movies of all time. As other comments have mentioned there are a lot of hidden meanings and subtle messages in this movie that delve into politics, innovation, morality, human ingenuity, and etc.

 But the one thing that stood out to me the most is the line " the wind rises, we must try to live". This line alone for me encapsulates the core message that permeates throughout the movie. You have this dream, but the wind rises, meaning change is coming, unexpected ventures that will challenge you deeply. 

Yet we still must try to live, meaning we have to find our way around it and fulfill our dreams how we can. Maybe we won’t be capable to get what we wanted exactly the way we did, and maybe reality is so harsh we might not be able to get much. But we must try to live because it’s the only way to be happy. Try to live, the world is more real and beautiful than what you would first think of it. 

Life is about hope, sadness, reality, and dreams. So whatever makes you happy, live the way you want, that’s what you have to do when change comes. Your dream is your goal, try to live the path you choose to walk. God, I love this movie. This and Princess Mononoke are definitely my favorite Studio Ghibli movies.

Came across this movie a year after it was released and it was actually the year I got into anime but only watched it today. And I got this urge to make aircraft because of how beautifully it was brought. Today I want to create airplanes, yesterday I wanted to make songs, the day before I wanted to build a cafe, my dream constantly changes. But this movie reminded me that it is the motivation to create that keeps one going. It's not about the direction that the wind blows in, but the fact that it keeps on rising. As long as I get reminded of this not only will I keep on trying to live, but also be thankful for each passing day and each burst of inspiration I get. Thank you Ghibli.

The main character had an amazing journey of a life, as an artist and an engineer, and I think Miyazaki could identify with him as an artist. This music perfectly represents that 10 years, the pain of failure, and the welling, unstoppable push of innovation and technology racing forward with time. In the middle of that, one man floats along, and finds simple love and happiness. And it's beautiful. 

It's more beautiful because he experienced it all, bittersweet, don't you think?

Everyone has a special moment with a ghibli movie, I was lucky enough to have two. The first was when I first saw princess mononoke as a kid and fell in love with the animation styles and storytelling of japanese animation, and then secondly after many years of tragedy and depression, I saw this movie and heard this song, and it kind of just.... melted away, and replaced it with hope.

I always imagine the different planes of jiro's dreams flying around, until I hit the last 40 seconds of the piece. Then all I can think about is naoko and how amazing their realationship was written in the movie.

When I first saw Spirited Away, I was maybe 2 or even younger or to be more precise, it was 2006. From that moment till this day bond between me and Studio Ghibli is something that I treasure the most. This feeling of fragility I feel when I listen or watch any of Mr. Miyazaki's movies I can't describe. I feel like porcelain that could be broken anytime. But, that feeling of pure happiness is what I treasure the most. Whisper of the Heart helped me through my bad depression and, WAAH, I'm emotional, I'm extremely grateful for their creativity and beautiful minds. Thanks! bows down

At first, I didn't know what to think of this piece of music. Actually, I found it boring after listening to it the first time. Then, three years passed and I listened to it again. My god do tastes change with time after experiencing new events in life. It really stands there with the other famous Ghibli themes Joe Hisaishi has written in the past. I still can't it'll probably be the last collaboration between Miyazaki-san and Hisaishi-san. Time goes as fast as a dragonfly passing by!

Was lucky to be able to see this in a theater when it came to the United States. Excellent film, and would have been a nearly perfect swan song for Miyazaki if he had stuck to his retirement. Considering the themes of the film, I believe that was his intention. I'm happy that we'll be receiving at least one more film from the master, but I think that the cost will be him throwing away the best farewell to the world he could have made.

After hearing this song I got a new reinvigorated and rekindled fire in my chest, from where I worked extra hard for the next 30 years, in the end having created a successful company engineering small aeroplanes for civilian use. I sold it at the age of 54 and retired early with a handsome fortune of 14.5 million dollars in the US currency. My family and I moved to the northern part of Italy near Sardinia, in the modest, but beautiful alpine village of Arezias. I had found a wife there some 20 years earlier, and sworn I would make it my home some day. We got 4 kids. In the summer we drive to the coast where our children practically sprint onto my boat from where we go fishing and swimming in the blue Mediterranean. Our oldest, Matteo, he is 16 and can already sail independently and can do a glorious job while I feel the ocean splashes on my face, relaxing. We also barbecue and invite friends and family over. I have become good friends with a butcher there, Giovanni. We talk about anything from our kids to football. He is a good friend. In the winter the night is chilly, but the nights are long and dark, which gives me plenty of time to look into the shining light that is my wife’s eyes, appreciating how wonderful and strange life is, and how in the end everything works out. We still live there today. The wind is rising, and we must try to live.

I always wanted to become an airplane engineer. Now that I saw this movie, I feel like I need to become an airplane engineer. This movie showed me my vocation, and my dreams...
This story is so poetic, beautiful and tragic. It did something to me... it resonated in me. I love airplanes, since I was a little child. I remember me and my dad going to airplane shows and meetings. I will always do my best to make dreams possible, I will do pieces of art...

I looked forward to this film because I wanted to see it, but I was sad to think that it would be Miyazaki's last.  Then I saw it, and knew that it was a film for adults, that had been made to appeal to kids.  As a pilot who has flown planes that I designed and built (for fun!), I consider this one of the finest films ever made.  My joy is increased by knowing that Miyazaki -- like all creative people -- can't put his talent aside for very long, and is working again.

"She wanted him to remember as she was" , the movie left me freakin empty for a minute or two , the void left in jiro's heart after her death and another inevitable deaths of pilots who went on war with his creation , the creation's sole purpose was the exact opposite to be precise!

Jiro did more than warplanes. He became a teacher after the war, so he gave the power of creation to generation of students. His wind is still blowing in them and will blow forever, just as the winds of previous creators gathered in him, making a new flow.

The planes that the real JIRO created were the fighter pilot planes used in World War Two to bomb pearl harbour, and its unfortunate because he has specifically said he never wanted his plans to be used for war, or harming others
