the film starts with the portrayal of happily married couple amar ( sunil dutt ) and malti ( meena kumari ) who have a son named raja ( daisy irani ) . amar and malti are both orphans and hence are sympathetic towards orphans generally . prakash ( ashok kumar ) is a rich bachelor businessman for whom amar works . while working in prakash ' s factory , amar catches another worker munshi ( jeevan ) stealing money from the factory locker .
the film is in the line of many of other jeetu ' s movies where the plot forms a trilogue . he is found in between 2 women - the wife and his concubine . it is a very good lesson ; the reverse of apnapan - this time the culprit is jeetendra . as usual , jeetu looks outstandingly , dashingly handsome . in films where the producer / director is chanced to display the handsomeness of jeetendra , they always do a good job . and that is why i always appreciate hindi screenplays . jeetu looks great with his amazing hair style of the 70s ( check out the song ' i like what you ' re saying ' ) . i watched this movie in 1978 - and it still looks fresh in my memory . watching all his trilogues e . g . maang baro sajna , tohfa , souten etc is delighting . as far as i ' m concerned he is the best actor who gives his best with every film he acts ; with versatile roles .

sometimes the wind rises soars . yet , on the other wing , it often crashes to earth . due to the film’s tepid story , flat characters and achingly slow pace , while the wind does indeed rise … it also blows .

if miyazaki does stay true to his word that he ' s retiring from filmmaking , the wind rises makes for a nice farewell , according to blunt .
the wind rises has claimed more than $ 80 million in ticket sales since opening last month and is on track to become japan’s top grossing film of the year .
the wind resource — how fast it blows , how often , and when — plays a significant role in its power generation cost . the power output from a wind turbine rises as a cube of wind speed . in other words , if wind speed doubles , the power output increases eight times . therefore , higher - speed winds are more easily and inexpensively captured .

a beautiful - - and now oscar - nominated - - swan song from miyazaki , the wind rises is a breathtaking ode to what is and what could be .
the dense piano is fog slowly building up over the night and the horn is wind that gently stirs the fog from where it settles . the wind and the fog drift and mold into different shapes in the night . the wind gets more excitable as the dawn starts to approach , but the fog starts to lighten up . the feel suddenly slows as the sun rises and the wind sings a sad song that it won ' t be able to play with the fog for much longer . the sun comes over the trees and the fog is lifted away . the day begins , but something isn’t quite right . a pressure keeps building and soon the wind becomes agitated . a storm is brewing . the wind builds up speed and becomes more wild as the pressure rises . dark clouds start to roll across the sky . lightning tears the sky in half and the troubled wind tries to recover itself but is out of sorts . the wind lashes out in anger now and pushes the storm clouds away . the wind becomes fatigued and dies down . suddenly the wind in its fury starts to notice something . the storm clouds start to remind the wind of the fog from the early morning . the wind calms itself and sings the sad song of farewell that it had earlier , and the clouds part to show a bright and vibrant sunset .

a film review on friday about “the wind rises , ” written and directed by hayao miyazaki , misidentified the director of “grave of the fireflies” in comparing the two films . the director is isao takahata , not mr . miyazaki .
the wind rises is a movie based on a real historical figure in japanese history , jiro horikoshi , who was responsible for creating the infamous
zero
fighter during the first years of world war 2 .
the wind rises looks to be hayao miyazaki ' s final film , and joseph gordon - levitt wanted to be a part of the famed japanese director ' s 50 - year legacy in animation .
the wind rises was competing for best animated feature along with a letter to momo ( distributed by gkids ) ; walt disney animation studios ' frozen won the top award of the night and four other awards . the annie awards ceremonies ' host patrick warburton joked in his opening monologue that the wind rises is miyazaki ' s fifth

wind speeds are divided into seven classes — with class one being the lowest and class seven being the highest . a wind resource assessment evaluates the average wind speeds above a section of land ( e . g . 50 meters high ) , and assigns that area a wind class . wind turbines operate over a limited range of wind speeds . if the wind is too slow , they won ' t be able to turn , and if too fast , they shut down to avoid being damaged . wind speeds in classes three ( 6 . 7 – 7 . 4 meters per second ( m / s ) ) and above are typically needed to economically generate power . ideally , a wind turbine should be matched to the speed and frequency of the resource to maximize power production .
the wind rises is just one film , but it echoes an entire country’s obsession with misremembering a deeply painful and extraordinarily violent past . japan’s wartime victimhood is a convenient lie its citizens have told themselves for decades . that the aging miyazaki has misguidedly lent a patina of wistful beauty to that lie is a shame . the wind rises ends the illustrious career of a treasured visionary on a repellent , disgraceful note .
in
the wind rises
, we are given a portrait of a bespectacled thinker and dreamer , a boy obsessed with the inner workings of machines , and the way things are put together , a boy who looks around him and understands that what he fantasizes about can become a reality . the same could be said for hayao miyazaki , and in a way ,
the wind rises
is his most personal film .

the controversy over the film hasn ' t hurt its box office prospects in japan .

the other day i had the pleasure of being interviewed on npr for a segment on the japanese animator hayao miyazaki and the opening of his film , the wind rises . but the pleasure was complicated : i was embarrassed to hear myself admit on the radio that i had cried while watching the film . in fact , my tears were not only for the movie ' s bittersweet love story and for the news that the wind rises is supposedly miyazaki ' s final film , although both these aspects certainly contributed . but i was also sad because the wind rises in its insistent depiction of history over fantasy suggested new directions that the director might have chosen , new roads that now would not be taken , thanks to his retirement from film making .
no surprise , then , that the wind rises has already created an uproar among south koreans ( who haven ' t yet seen the film ) , arguably the biggest recipients of japan’s 40 - year colonial cruelty ( 1905 - 1945 ) . the wind rises’ specious pose of self - victimization will and should disgust the living survivors and their descendants in the myriad other countries japan invaded during world war ii : china , the philippines , vietnam , thailand , malaysia ; the list goes on .
though horikoshi is the film ' s nominal subject , his personal life has been completely fictionalized by miyazaki . the film ' s melancholy elements , including a charming romantic reconnection with nahoko , come from the work of tatsuo hori , a writer of the pre - world war ii era who wrote a novel called
the wind rises
that was inspired by the same line from french poet paul valery that opens the film :
the wind rises , we must try to live .
“the wind rises” is based on the life of jiro horikoshi ( 1903 - 1982 ) , the designer of japan ' s zero fighter aircraft . in the film , an older caproni encourages a young horikoshi to follow his dream to design airplanes .
deliberately paced and energized by joe hisashi ' s musical mix of eastern themes and italian mandolin , the wind rises is an ode to the creative spirit , the intoxication of love in all of its forms . the film doesn ' t take the obvious moralistic steps that could avert backlash — it ' s pure miyazaki , a perspective influenced by history and reflective of a 50 - year career . with wind rises , miyazaki chooses a world with pyramids .
his latest and final work , the wind rises , carries a subtle anti - war message , reflecting miyazaki ' s pacifist views , and has drawn criticism from japan ' s vocal right - wing activists .
[ 15 ] american wind energy association ( awea ) . 2013 . industry statistics .
whether the wind rises will help , remains unclear . the film focuses on the early life of jiro horikoshi , a brilliant engineer who designed several warplanes , including the mitsubishi zero . the light , agile fighter ruled the skies at the outset of the war and figured prominently in the attack on pearl harbor .
correction : march 5 , 2014 a film review on nov . 8 about “the wind rises” misidentified the character for whom the aeronautic engineer jiro makes a splint . she is the caretaker of nahoko , not nahoko . ( the times learned of the error this week . )
ultimately , this is what “the wind rises” is about . it’s about the joy that is etched in pain . with terror comes beauty . with destruction comes creation . and with failure come dreams . what miyazaki says with “the wind rises” is modest and unpretentious . we will hurt and fail , but we can do good ; we can create something beautiful . it’s a reflective and fitting sentiment for miyazaki’s last film . in this light , “the wind rises” is a bittersweet but ultimately joyful ride from a true master of his work . miyazaki had the fortune of having more than “ten years in the sun , ” as caproni puts it , but still , he will be sorely missed .
' wind rises ' is exquisite , and likely to be hayao miyazaki ' s last the new film from the acclaimed japanese animator spans 30 years and centers on a young man who dreams of designing the perfect airplane in the early 1930s . ( recommended )

the wind rises was the highest - grossing japanese film in japan in 2013 . it won and was nominated for several awards , including nominations for the academy award for best animated feature , the golden globe award for best foreign language film , and the japan academy prize for animation of the year .
hayao miyazaki , the legendary japanese animation director responsible for such stunningly beautiful fantasies as the oscar - winning “spirited away’’ ( 2001 ) , has set what he’s announced will be his last film , the gorgeous “the wind rises , ’’ in pre - world war ii japan .
the wind rises is director hayao miyazaki ' s swan song ; the final chapter of his illustrious film career which features such captivating tales as spirited away . inevitably , his last motion picture is going to be filled with sentimentality and tearful scenes .
for his final film , miyazaki constructs a heart - wrenching tale of creativity and love that strives to find humanity in the haunting legacy of world war ii . yes , the wind rises is a cartoon , but animation unlocks its deepest emotions .

but hayao miyazaki , the legendary japanese animator , has managed to anger everyone from doctors to political activists with the wind rises ( kaze tachinu ) , his fictionalised portrayal of the inventor of the mitsubishi a6m zero fighter plane , used to devastating effect by the imperial japanese navy during the second world war .
in 2011 , miyazaki told japan ' s cut magazine that he was inspired to make
the wind rises
by a quote he read of horikoshi ' s :
all i wanted to do was to make something beautiful .
the wind rises received critical acclaim . rotten tomatoes sampled 163 reviews and judged 88 % of them to be positive , giving the film a

horikoshi was one of the “most brilliant” japanese in the early , turbulent years of the showa era ( 1926 - 1989 ) , when japan charged toward war , miyazaki , 72 , said in a recent interview about his new movie , “kaze tachinu” ( “the wind rises” ) .
i saw the japanese - language version ; most u . s . theaters showing
the wind rises
will be presenting the english - dubbed edition featuring the voices of joseph gordon - levitt , emily blunt , john krasinski , stanley tucci and many more . i hope
the wind rises
turns out to be one of those false farewells a major artist makes , before re - entering the creative arena once again . but if miyazaki never makes another picture , he will have left behind a lifetime of handmade beauty .
in miyazaki ' s defence , the film ' s many smoking scenes are at least a nod to the social mores of the times . the wind rises is set in the 1920s and 30s , before the harmful health effects of tobacco were fully known and when japanese , among others , were enthusiastic smokers .
gordon - levitt headlines a top - notch voice cast for the american release next year of the wind rises , which has already garnered a golden globe nomination for best foreign film and could be in line for a nod in the oscar category of best animated feature .
( note : disney is releasing the japanese - language version of “the wind rises” in los angeles and new york on nov . 8 for a one - week oscar qualifying run . the film will open nationwide in february 2014 in an english - dubbed version . )
“the wind rises” tells the story of jiro horikoshi ( voiced by joseph gordon - levitt ) , a legendary aviation engineer who designed planes , zero fighters , that were used in world war ii against the united states — although jiro himself is painted as a pacifist .
a final consideration for a wind resource is the seasonal and daily variation in wind speed . if the wind blows during periods of peak power demand , power from a wind farm will be valued more highly than if it blows in off - peak periods . in california , for example , high temperatures in the central valley and low coastal temperatures near san francisco cause powerful winds to blow across the altamont pass in the summer , a period of high power demand .
the wind rises ,
hayao miyazaki ' s first feature directorial effort in five years , will premiere at the venice and toronto film festivals in coming weeks , and a new trailer has piqued the curiosity of the 72 - year - old animator ' s devoted fan base .
the 75 turbines at the spring canyon wind farm can produce as much as 40 million kilowatt - hours of energy each month .
in the united states , the original heyday of wind was between 1870 and 1930 , when thousands of farmers across the country used wind to pump water . small electric wind turbines were used in rural areas as far back as the 1920s , and prototypes of larger machines were built in the 1940s . when the new deal brought grid - connected electricity to the countryside , however , windmills lost out .
harnessing the wind is one of the cleanest , most sustainable ways to generate electricity . wind power produces no toxic emissions and none of the heat - trapping emissions that contribute to global warming . this , and the fact that wind power is one of the most abundant and increasingly cost - competitive energy resources , makes it a viable alternative to the fossil fuels that harm our health and threaten the environment .
dealing with the variability of wind on a large scale is by no means insurmountable for electric utilities . grid operators must already adjust to constant changes in electricity demand , turning power plants on and off , and varying their output second - by - second as power use rises and falls . operators always need to keep power plants in reserve to meet unexpected surges or drops in demand , as well as power plant and transmission line outages . as a result , operators do not need to respond to changes in wind output at each wind facility . in addition , the wind is always blowing somewhere , so distributing wind turbines across a broad geographic area helps smooth out the variability of the resource .
years after their encounter on the train , jiro and naoko meet again in a resort in the mountains . they are brought together by the wind . the wind is a presence in the film . it ruffles jiro’s tousled hair and naoko’s summer dresses , ripples the water in a stream , the grasses in a meadow , the leaves on the branches . it unfurls flags and fills the windsocks at the airfields . it does what it will , beyond anyone’s control . the wind is the force of history . when japan was saved from a mongol invasion in the 13th century by a typhoon , the typhoon was described as a “spirit” or “divine” wind , that is , kamikaze . in 1930s japan , it is clear that the wind is rising .
hayao miyazaki ' s latest anime movie ,
kaze tachinu
( the wind rises ) , is leaving audiences with a taste for siberia — not the subarctic region of asia , but a once popular sweet that had been hard to find until the movie was released in japan .
looking back on his 1989 work “nausicaa of the valley of the wind , ” miyazaki said many of the problems he had foreseen confronting the world have become reality .
in 1941 , how green was my valley won best picture over citizen kane . i haven ' t seen disney ' s frozen , which recently won an oscar for best full - length animated feature , but feel sure the wind rises is much better .
the wind rises is a family affair for blunt , who plays nahoko , jiro ' s dying love interest afflicted with tuberculosis . she commuted to the recording studio with her husband krasinski , who plays aircraft designer honyo , and tucci is married to blunt ' s sister .
small wind turbines are generally used for providing power off the grid , ranging from very small , 250 - watt turbines designed for charging up batteries on a sailboat , to 50 - kilowatt turbines that power dairy farms and remote villages . like old farm windmills , these small wind turbines often have tail fans that keep them oriented into the wind .
mind you , before gordon - levitt agreed to take part in the english - language version of the wind rises , he watched the original japanese version of this miyazaki film . which joseph says
. . . without exaggeration , is one of the most beautiful films i ' ve ever seen .
the wind rises is akin to sitting through an unbearably long flight in which the view can only be appreciated so much . ultimately we need something more , something to keep us engaged . fortunately for jiro , he often falls asleep and dreams the tedium away . we wish we could do the same .
kaze tachinu
( the wind rises ) , the latest work by animation film director hayao miyazaki , is now showing in theaters across japan . the protagonist of this film is jiro horikoshi ( 1903 - 1982 ) , the designer of the mitsubishi a6m zero fighter aircraft , flown by the imperial japanese navy during world war ii .
the film , entitled the wind rises in english , is miyazaki ' s first in five years . it tells the story of a fighter plane designer and is one of 20 movies competing for the golden lion award at the festival on the floating city ' s lido island . hoshino said miyazaki would hold a press briefing in tokyo .

windy city . perhaps the biggest symbol in the movie is , of course , the wind . that takes a concrete form as jiro designs a plane meant to reduce wind resistance , and as he and caproni try to escape a fire as the former warns of the danger because
the wind is rising .
but it’s also a symbolic presence , introduced to represent the intangible power of imagination to carry us . and it’s an animating force in the movie ' s romance . as jiro’s great love , nahoko , tells him , the wind brought him to her .
that - - to joseph ' s way of thinking - - is the big take - away from the wind rises . that hayao miyazaki is actually able to take his audiences into that head space . help them appreciate the real beauty & true excitement that can be found in everyday life .

hayao miyazaki is one of the most respected animators in history , with an oscar for “spirited away” and a long list of admirers that includes pixar’s john lasseter . so when the japanese anime legend announced that “the wind rises” would be his final film , his retirement figured to turn the release into an event .
the central section of
the wind rises
deals with jiro working for aircraft manufacturing giant mitsubishi and his steady rise through the designing ranks , a visionary pure and simple who just wants to build the best possible aircraft and finds his passion subverted by those in power almost without his realizing it is happening .
while initially jarring , miyazaki’s unapologetic deviations from fact help “the wind rises” to transcend the linearity of its expected structure , the film eventually revealing itself to be less of a biopic than it is a devastatingly honest lament for the corruption of beauty , and how invariably pathetic the human response to that loss must be . miyazaki’s films are often preoccupied with absence , the value of things left behind and how the ghosts of beautiful things are traced onto our memories like the shadows of a nuclear fallout , and “the wind rises” looks back as only a culminating work can . his stories aren’t about the things we’ve lost so much as they’re about the act of remembering them , and though “the wind rises” doesn’t forgive us for our transgressions , it directs us back to the beautiful ideas from which they first sprang . after a career spent righteously lambasting us for our greed and our increasing role as an ecological cancer , miyazaki’s final film resonates as both his bleakest and his most inspiringly optimistic . as though no - face from “spirited away” were exploded into a technicolor assessment of our civilization as a whole , “the wind rises” is an indelible reminder that the only way we dishonor the things we’ve lost is by forgetting how necessary it was for us to love them .
story ( 7 / 10 ) : the wind rises details the journey of jirou horikoshi as he walks through the many stages of life . his central goal is to become an airplane designer , and much of the plot is spent detailing this process . through flashback sequences where jirou talks with a famous italian designer in
one explanation for the sensitivity ? although “the wind rises” has a strong pacifist message , it is essentially a biopic of jiro horikoshi , an aeronautical engineer whose contribution to the world was a killing machine . his designs led to the mitsubishi a6m zero fighter , which was used to devastating effect during world war ii .
the modern wind era began in california in the 1980s . between 1981 and 1986 , small companies and entrepreneurs installed 15 , 000 medium - sized turbines , providing enough power for every resident of san francisco . pushed by the high cost of fossil fuels , a moratorium on nuclear power , and concern about environmental degradation , the state provided tax incentives to promote wind power . these , combined with federal tax incentives , helped the wind industry take off . after the tax credits expired in 1985 , wind power continued to grow , although more slowly . perhaps more important in slowing wind power ' s growth was the decline in fossil fuel prices that occurred in the mid - 1980s .
along with jirō’s biography , miyazaki portrays the devastating kantō earthquake , the effects of the great depression , a tuberculosis outbreak , and the political ramifications of japan’s entrance into the war . despite being steeped in a rich and controversial cultural - historical background , “the wind rises” is apolitical . even though the baggage of designing warplanes is not forgotten , it does not hinder the beauty of the film itself .
the wind rises , a fictional biography of the designer of japan’s famous zero fighter plane , and the swansong of japanese director miyazaki hayao , is a movie unlike any he has made and yet absolutely true to his preoccupations . nick bradshaw looks back at the turbulent dreams of flight , freedom and progress in the great japanese animator’s films .
among the subsidies the department is examining is a production tax credit that allows most wind farms to shave pennies off the price of each kilowatt - hour they send to the grid . though flattening demand for electricity and cheap natural gas are the main forces depressing wholesale energy prices , the credit means that wind producers can often offer their power to the market at the lowest price . sometimes , when energy demand is low and wind is strong , the credit can drive the effective price below zero .
studio ghibli co - founder hayao miyazaki won the annie award for writing in an animated feature production on saturday . he was competing with the writers of monsters university and frozen . the wind rises ' kitaro kousaka was also nominated for character animation in a animated feature production , but lost to the croods animator jakob jensen .

that ' s because the wind rises is a sympathetic biography of a man whose work contributed to japan ' s brutal campaign of imperialist aggression during world war ii . jiro horikoshi designed the mitsubishi a6m zero fighter plane that japan used in pearl harbor and countless other assaults ; the zero was feared for the unparalleled range and maneuverability bestowed by horikoshi ' s considerable engineering skills . although its subject matter is linked to a violent past , the wind rises follows in the tradition of japanese works that eulogize artisanal passion and dedication to one ' s craft — it could almost have been called jiro dreams of fighter planes .
in stark contrast to miyazaki ' s fantasy - based animated family movies such as
spirited away ,
ponyo
and
howl ' s moving castle ,
the wind rises
is a biopic of jiro horikoshi , the designer of the zero fighter plane , which the japanese used during world war ii .
the title comes from a paul valéry poem : “the wind is rising ! we must try to live . ” the wind is a portent for the disasters that anchor the film : the 1923 earthquake that levelled much of tokyo and yokohama , killing over 100 , 000 people ; and japan’s terrible war nearly two decades later .
miyazaki is best known for animation , but he & apos ; s also acclaimed for his comics work over his long career . he was illustrating manga as far back as the late 1960s and most famously wrote and illustrated seven volumes of nausicaä of the valley of the wind ( which later received an animated feature ) . in fact , the wind rises is based on a miyazaki manga of the same name about jiro horikoshi , the designer of the world & apos ; s first monoplanes .
in the wind rises , anime master hayao miyazaki adds his own memories and obsessions to the real life of jiro horikoshi and the writings of tatsuo hori . the result is a complex film of great beauty , one that has angered the right wing in japan for its attitude toward 1930s militarism , and disappointed others worldwide for its failure to show the consequences of the hero’s quest .
so , what are individuals to do when the wind rises ? fight back ? disappear ? it seems miyazaki believes we should recognize that we are powerless against the winds of history . we are to work to fulfill our dreams , to behave decently , to love deeply—to try to live , while the tempest rages .
announced that he would retire after the release of
the wind rises
, marking his sixth such announcement . since then , many rumors have circulated stating that he has announced his return to feature films once again - however , these are unfounded and based on pure speculation from ghibli co - founder
turbines at the spring canyon wind farm outside peetz , colo . the farm is owned by invenergy , and produces energy under contract to xcel energy .
now politics , not skepticism , may be wind power’s biggest barrier . under new leadership with ties to conventional energy interests , the energy department is scrambling to complete an internal study in the next month that could lead to an upending of the policies that fostered the rapid spread of solar and wind .
from the outside , horizontal axis wind turbines consist of three big parts : the tower , the blades , and a box behind the blades , called the nacelle . inside the nacelle is where most of the action takes place , where motion is turned into electricity . large turbines don ' t have tail fans ; instead they have hydraulic controls that orient the blades into the wind .
