The Wind Rises is a 2013 animated Japanese film by Hayao Miyazaki, possibly his final film. It’s an animated biopic about Jiro Horikoshi, an aeronautical engineer who did wondrous things in improving airplanes, unfortunately including the Japanese WW II fighters. The movie never forgets the dark side, though it’s in the background.
The film is wonderfully drawn, incredibly beautiful and just a delight. It’s been dubbed into English, so no subtitles — virtually flawless dubbing. Worth seeing. This article from the NY Times does a far better job describing it than I could!
