Happy New Year and Happy New Ghibli, as the hottest club in town opens its doors for the 2022 Saison
Thank you to @Haiku for selecting the sixth film in our voyage into the world of Studio Ghibli. After lesbian dalliances and freak blimp accidents with Kiki, we once again take to the skies with "The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachinu)".
Miyazaki was at the helm of this Oscar-nominated and Japan biggest-grossing movie of 2013, with this marking his final movie before retirement. Well, the retirement lasted 4 years and there's another movie due out ... well, let's just say "soon".
It recounts the life story of Jiro Horikoshi, the acclaimed Mitsubishi aircraft designer in wartime Japan. Well it's semi-biographical at least. Miyazaki drew some criticism for choosing him as a lead character, given his involvement in the war, but Miyazaki was really just in it for the planes (and by this point I'm inclined to agree with him).
HOW THIS WORKS
In a semi book club format, the films will be announced, and over the course of about 2 weeks we can watch it and let everyone know what we thought. I'll nominate someone to pick the next film each time, but maybe let's try not to blow all the famous ones first!
I was thinking 2 weeks should be enough time for most people to fit in a viewing at some point, but it's not strict so please come back when you have a chance, no pressure!
