Review of The Wind Rises (2013) by Inspectorjavert — 30 Mar 2014
Beautifully animated and equally beautiful in terms of story, the Wind Rises is a more than fitting end to the career of the one of the greatest animated movie directors to ever grace the screen. The characters are all well developed and likable, Jiro (the protagonist), being exceptionally well written.
The story progresses in a flawless and involving manner, drawing the audience in and making them feel as if they are there. The Wind Rises also packs a strong emotional punch, not only because it is the swansong of Hayao Miyazaki, but also due to the tragic idea that the movie builds itself upon.
The Wind Rises is one of the best animated movies ever created, and it's a shame it didn't earn the Academy Award this year.
