I really enjoyed watching The Wind Rises. It pretty well culminated my feelings about Hayao Miyazaki movies as I’ve been watching them.

The Wind Rises especially struck a cord with me. There’s something beautiful about Jiro’s struggle to build airplanes. His “beautiful dreams”, despite their potential use as destructive weapons of war.
