If you loved Barefoot Gen, try The Wind Rises
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Animation / Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Barefoot Gen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Wind Rises is
Kyushu hills, pre-war summer, a paper airplane glides. A young engineer's dreams take shape, airplanes dance in his mind, real planes will soon take to the skies. Miyazaki's swan song is a gentle, historical romance.
