Review of The Wind Rises

Miyazaki's films do well to keep their reputation. The musical scores, the detailed scenery, and characters that leave you dreaming. It's nearly flawless: Except for a dire mistake in the plot. Tuberculosis is an extremely contagious disease. Yet, as if it were the safest disease to be around, she goes on crowded trains and buses and kisses her husband ever so sweetly. Once I thought about that, I can't get the thought out of my mind of how the entire country of Japan in this movie is probably now suffering a terrible epidemic. Now, if the movie were about PNEUMONIA, I could've rated it a 10/10.
