The Wind Rises The origin of Fengli ちぬproduction

Miyazaki Hayao published the manga "風立ちぬ" in the monthly magazine "Model Graphix" from April 2009 to January 2010. The work features Japanese fighter designer Jiro Horikoshi, who was active during World War II, as the protagonist. He once designed the A6M Zero that was once invincible in the air force field . At the same time, the title of the manga and the plot of the love story with the heroine are taken from the novel of the same name by the writer Hori Tatsuo, who was born with Jiro Horikoshi. The animator, who has always been known for his anti-war stance, is obsessed with killing fighters and battleships for various reasons. The contradiction in this highly personal work is particularly prominent. Perhaps because of this contradiction and the ubiquitous tastes of life, Miyazaki Hayao had no intention of making it into an animated film at first. In the end, it was Miyazaki Hayao’s old partner Toshio Suzuki of Studio Ghibli who successfully contributed to the project. He put forward the proposal of filming at the beginning of the comic series. However, Miyazaki Hayao stated that "animated films should be children, not adults." "Make" categorically declines for the reason. The producer of Suzuki pointed out that "Miyazaki Hayao should give his own answer on the contradictions (in the work)", and this statement hits the point accurately. In the plan published on the website, Miyazaki explained the intention of the production as follows: "This film is neither an indictment of war nor an attempt to inspire young people in Japan by describing the outstanding features of A6M Zero. I also don’t want to conceal Jiro’s sincere desire to build a civilian aircraft, but only hopes to tell the story of such a man who is loyal to his dream and keeps forging ahead."
