Review of The Wind Rises
I saw a glimpse of The Wind Rises when I was about 9-10. I was one of the last kids to leave the school, and when only a few were left, the teachers who looked after us put on a movie. It was most of the time a cute, cheesy children's movie (as expected since we were kids LMAO), but that day they put on a Ghibli film. Most likely, I only watched about 5 minutes. But some of the images stayed in my mind and popped up sometimes. Never knew what movie they belonged to, until a few hours ago. So maybe it’s just mebeing nostalgic about my childhood, which isn’t quite over yet but almost is, though I’m positive it’s simply a good movie.
We always feel the need to over-analyze everything, sometimes it’s like, films can’t be simple anymore.
The music is amazing and touching, the animation, stunning, the characters full of life, joy, and passion.
Despite its sudden time skips, The Wind Rises kept me wanting more. It kept me watching till the end and enjoying every second of it.
And there really isn’t much more needed to make a great movie!
