‘THE WIND RISES’, JAPAN, 2013
\nSTUDIO GHIBLI – DIRECTED BY HAYAO MIYAZAKI<\/p>\n
it’s not far-reaching to expect an imaginary fable to lift off – through the magic of animation.
\nwith ‘The Wind Rises’, a fictionalized biography of JIRO HORIKOSHI (1903-19820) the young man who designed fighter aircraft . .
\nused by Japan in WWII . . .
\nit’s absolutely wondrous !! and stirring . . to behold.
\nit becomes a story about the beauty of design, and the poignancy of life. how we artists, have no control over how our work is used, or sold,
\njust we humans have no control over our lives and . . destiny.<\/p>\n
a most gorgeous production, a big part of the compelling emotional depth of this film, which is in essence a medley . . on an industrial design !!
\nand a fighter jet one – at that . . by our enemy at the time (!!)
\ncomes from the wistful and haunting music.
\nthe soundtrack, composed and conducted by JOE HISAISHI is performed by YOMIURI NIPPON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.<\/p>\n
