cursed dream

In the film, there are Jiro Horikoshi from Japan, Caproni from Italy, Junkers from Germany, and fighter aircraft designers from the three fascist countries. The viewers cannot help but think of the "historical facts" of World War II. The so-called historical facts often already contain criticism, "who annihilated how many enemy troops", which already implies that the "who" has the right to kill, the more "kill" the more honorable, and the "enemy", because it does not That's right, the more you die, the happier you are. It's a madhouse mentality. Politics is inherently the product of sin and fear. It demands rightness at the same time, because under its dualistic vision, innocence must be set off by sin. Wearing such a pair of glasses, for the sake of his own innocence, the viewer must find a guilty object as his scapegoat, because he has already been driven mad by his own hallucinations. To interpret this film from a political point of view, it is almost inevitable to fall into the judgment of "sinners" and "righteous". Judgment standards vary from person to person, and there are thousands of differences. Who can reconcile everyone? Horikoshi Jiro was obsessed with his own dreams, and made the mistake of "the evil of mediocrity"; Nahoko, a capitalist lady, only cared about the natural scenery during the war, even the beautiful scenery, how could she be worthy of the starving people? The German who played the piano, although his morals were correct, did not go back to save the country and make contributions to world peace. It was also wrong... He swirled in the standards and could not go beyond the limits of his vision. The eyes fixed on sin do not see purity.

This film is full of Jiro Horikoshi's dreams and dreams, so I think it is very suitable to start with dreams. In Miyazaki's dreams, girls and flying are always indispensable. In the past, flying was a dream vehicle, an adventurer's vehicle, which always made the audience feel good. This time, although flying is the theme, it is named "cursed". This is a different kind of reflection. It has already surpassed the level of ordinary works. It is already a face-to-face with dreams. It is the spirit of the master with pen. The wind this time is not as simple as the meaning of the soundtrack called "The Wind of the World" in the past.

In the theater of the Great Dream of the World, one by one, dreamers enter each other's dreams through their interaction, and while dreaming their own dreams, they act out a bigger dream together with others. Nahoko dreamed of Jiro Horikoshi, Jiro Horikoshi dreamed of Caproni; her dream of love entered his dream of flying, and his dream of flying was not separated from Japan's dream of destruction. It's not that he doesn't know what the word "righteousness" is. When he was a child, he helped the bullied children. When he was young, he not only gave Siberian cakes to street children, but also admitted the "hypocrisy" of asking for thanks afterwards. In Horikoshi Jiro's dream, Caproni had already said that the plane should not be a tool of war. Jiro Horikoshi knew even more clearly that Japan was about to be destroyed.

In other words, he knows everything, but he doesn't want to wake up, the price of waking up is too high, he must stick to his dreams, linger in love and flying. Dreams are born in response to inability to wake up. The so-called "dream of coping" means that in reality, there is an urgent need to go to the toilet. People can make up a dream, untie the hand in the dream, and continue to sleep. In reality, he either continued to hold back or wet the bed. So the dream is cursed, because it is an illusion born to escape. There is no difference between individual dreams and collective dreams. Remember, dreams are not fundamentally different from dreams. Jiro Horikoshi is a portrayal of all sentient beings who dream of marrying wives. He only dared to admit that he dreamed of hell when the bubble was shattered.

Therefore, the dreamer needs to wake up, and the dream needs forgiveness, and this is not the answer that can be given by "even if the wind blows, never give up in life".
