The Wind Rises, which will screen at Massey University’s Auckland campus next month, chronicles much of his life, and depicts key historical events including The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Great Depression, the tuberculosis epidemic and Japan’s plunge into war.
Director Hayao Miyazaki brings together real life aircraft engineer Jiro Horikoshi and The Wind Has Risen author Tatsuo Hori, who lived during the time of the story of The Wind Rises, to create Jiro - a fictional character at the centre of an epic tale of love, perseverance, and the challenges of living and making choices in a turbulent world.
The Wind Rises will screen at Massey University’s Auckland campus at Albany on Wednesday August 7. The monthly Japanese films play on the first Wednesday of the month, at 6.30pm. Preceding the main feature is a short documentary on life and culture in Japan, which starts at 6.15pm. Unless specified, the films are screened in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre in room SNW100. There is free parking available on campus.
The Wind Rises is rated PG-13
Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Running time: 126 minutes

She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’
Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.
