Is the wind still rising? The wind rises is an absolutely beautiful movie, my eyes were glued to the screen for the whole two hours. The film is easy to watch, giving you a wonderful sense of anticipation the whole way through.
A young man, Jiro, longs to become a pilot, but his short sight prevents it. One night, he has a dream about the famous Giovanni Battista Caproni who tells him, building planes is better than flying them. Soon, Jiro embarks on a long journey, meeting the girl of his dreams on the way. This was HIS destiny.
Overall, the wind rises captured my heart and inspired me to build what had not been built before. Even a five star is majorly under rated for such an incredible film
