Let everything fade like the wind, Reivew on The Wind Rises

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.
