Hayao Miyazaki doesn't make children's movies, he makes great movies. Period. Over a career spanning an incredible fifty years, the legendary Japanese filmmaker has made us believe in the friendliness of forest spirits, in witches that deliver mail and in pigs that can fly. But no matter how whimsical their content, his films have always resonated on a level above and beyond typical animated fare. His legions of ardent fans were of course saddened when the auteur announced his exit from the industry in 2013; but Miyazaki couldn't have picked a more fitting final bow than The Wind Rises, a majestic and poignant story of love, loss and the power of dreams.
