As Hayao Miyazaki's final work, this film adds warmth and humanity to the main tone of "Spirited Away", "Howl's Moving Castle", "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things", etc. On to more dreams and love.

Caproni finally asked Horikoshi Jiro, "How have your ten years been, have you tried your best?" "Yes, although I was exhausted in the end." Horikoshi Jiro stood in the wind, his resolute face deeply imprinted on the wind. in my heart.

Japan's genius boy, in this era when aviation technology is 20 years behind Germany, with the dream of creating a beautiful plane, has grown from an ignorant boy to a determined young man. He walked on the road of his dream without hesitation and wholeheartedly. He also suffered many failures and tasted the sweetness of love.

past1. About dreams
In Jiro Horikoshi's mind, the plane is not a weapon of war, nor a means of making money, but a beautiful dream, the dream of human beings flying in the sky. So he was not depressed when facing advanced German technology, and he was able to stand up again after repeated failures, but when the plane became a weapon of war, it was like facing his own children, who went out and never came back, leaving behind Jiro Horikoshi was exhausted by the time it was just a pile of wreckage.

In the context of the war, perhaps Horikoshi Jiro subconsciously understood that war planes can defend the country's territory from aggression, and war planes are essential. So when his friend said he was hypocritical in giving the cake to the child, he did not refute it. When his wife was seriously ill, he was still studying the plane every second, without stopping for a moment.

Perhaps, in the deeper subconscious of Horikoshi Jiro, he hoped that advanced aircraft technology could bring the war to an end as soon as possible.

past2. About love
Some people say that Jiro Horikoshi doesn't love Nahoko enough, or that this love is an embellishment in the story. With Erlang's talent, even without Nahoko, it can be a complete and complete story.

But, have you seen the happy smile of Erlang and Nahoko when they were together, and the tears left when they received the news that Nahoko was coughing up blood. Without Nahoko, Erlang would be a standardized genius, indulging in the talent given by God, and being extremely calm about everything except the plane, he could not go home for more than ten years, and he could completely forget the arrival of his sister, even if he would Help others within moral constraints. That, in fact, he stood in the world other than the plane.

Nahoko pulled him into the emotional world, and Erlang became a young man with flesh and blood. Maybe this relationship is not so beautiful under the influence of real conditions, but the relationship is a matter of two people, I think they are very fortunate to know and love each other.

All fate is actually written in the moment when Erlang met Nahoko for the first time, and Nahoko said, "The wind is blowing, we must live." The moment.
