Hayao Miyazaki's "The Wind Rises" is heartbreaking!

After waiting for nearly a whole year, I finally waited until Hayao Miyazaki's "The Wind Rises" can be enjoyed in China.
After reading it, my heart sinks.

First of all, it must be affirmed: the
first is the beautiful animation and bright colors as before;
the second is the infinite prospect of the aircraft, the sky and the flying of the aircraft, especially the teenagers since childhood;
the third is the soundtrack of the collaborator Joe Hisaishi Still delightful.
Nothing else to like.

Secondly, this film brings more disappointment and even despair to the audience.
First, "The Wind Rises" lacks innocence.
There is hardly a single episode that connects me to the cuteness, surprise, curiosity, and discovery of children.
Second, "The Wind Rises" is a mechanical imitation of foreign poetic language.
Several times in the film, a poem from the French poet Valéry's "Seaside Cemetery" is repeatedly quoted, which is not too closely related to the development of the plot, and is too far-fetched.
Third, the description of love in "The Wind Rises" is too far-fetched, even in pediatrics, it is irrelevant.
Fourth, "The Wind Rises" lacks a certain imagination.
Fifth, "The Wind Rises" is more of an adult expression, which is incompatible with the description of animated films. What kind of intelligence agency investigation and anti-investigation have been carried out, there is no result yet.
Sixth, "The Wind Rises" wants to imitate Korean dramas, but it doesn't look like it. Tuberculosis, lung your sister. Hayao Miyazaki, why don't you have leukemia, cancer, car accidents, etc.?

Finally, ask the creators, what theme do you want to express? Is it to illustrate the difficult process of the Japanese making their own aircraft during the world wars of the last century? How boring!

The last thing I want to say is that it was indeed a generation of animation master Hayao Miyazaki who retired from the stage of history! Jiang Lang's talents are exhausted, and everyone is gone! This is true!
Here, this review pays homage to "Spirited Away", especially "City in the Sky", which will never come back in my heart!
