    The Wind Rises is a historical genre film based on the manga of the same name by Hayao Miyazaki and the novel The Wind Has Risen by Tatsuo Hori in 1936-1937. Released in 2013, the film received countless major awards, for its message of desire for love and passion in the midst of fierce war. The talented engineer of the Japanese Empire Jiro Horikoshi was the inspiration for the Jiro character creation. Jiro is passionate about blending with the sky and magical planes despite being nearsighted and thanks to his dream of meeting Italian engineer Caproni, he became an aeronautical engineer. After failing repeatedly, he has a beautiful love story with Naoko again. Jiro is still with Naoko despite her tuberculosis. Although he is a kind and benevolent engineer, because of the war situation has pushed peace-loving people, longing to be with the other lover to the end. Jiro, along with thousands and millions of other people, are struggling to recover from the pain and turmoil of Japan. The saying "The wind has risen, we must live" in the movie gives us a lot to think about.
