Let everything fade like the wind

Master Miyazaki's work of harvesting mountains is still based on the dream of flying that he could not give up all his life. Hayao Miyazaki's animation that is not at all Miyazaki has fewer lines than any previous one, and it is "bland" than any previous one, without the colorful fantasy, without the big picture of iron and blood. Romance, everything becomes light, light separation of life and death, light national hatred and family hatred, light like a meeting in the wind in old age, drifting away in the accompaniment of accordion and mandolin from beginning to end. The great earthquake, the fire that destroyed Tokyo, the Zero fighter, and the defeat of Japan are all just the background color of the protagonist's life. Yes, faded to invisible, the color of the wind.

    It was the story of an airplane designer, but Hayao Miyazaki also consciously or unconsciously mapped the life arc of an animator. Both are classical craftsmen who have to bury their heads for a long time, and also have to face the gap between self-consciousness and reality. And these cursed dreams are also the visions of those who do their best. This is true of Jiro Kukoshi, and so are Hayao Miyazaki and Takahata. It's time to end the photo shoot here.

    I shed tears when watching the trailer, and sweated when watching the movie.
