Podcast appearances and mentions of jiro horikoshi

Chris and Alex return to Japanese anime and Studio Ghibli for this reflection on The Wind Rises (2013), Hayao Miyazaki's then-final animated feature that plots the life of Japanese aeronautical engineer Jiro Horikoshi, and which also offers a quasi-autobiographical tale of Miyazaki's own animated career and the spectacle of his ‘last designs' along the way. Joining in the discussion is very special guest Esther Leslie, who is Professor of Political Aesthetics in the School of Creative Arts, Culture and Communication at Birkbeck. Esther's interests are largely related to political theories of aesthetics and culture and the poetics of science and technology, alongside an interest in expanded forms of animation, with publications that include the influential Hollywood Flatlands, Animation, Critical Theory and the Avant Garde (Verso, 2002). Topics for this episode include the film's reflexive register and status as a commentary on Ghibli animation; Japanese political history, representations of violence, and the plane as a historical figure of beauty; what the film does with its portrayal of fantastical worlds and the certainty of dreams; The Wind Rises' impressionistic visual style and its more ambivalent handling of the modernity/tradition division familiar from Studio Ghibli's earlier work; and how discourses of fatalism allow Miyazaki's film to be secure in showing us what we carry in our head, and how and when we fantasise. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Hey everybody! In this surprising turn of events, this week we are discussing Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises. Listen as we breakdown this beautifully animated, semi-biographical adaptation of the life of Jiro Horikoshi, the aeronautical engineer that designed the Mitsubishi A60 Zero airplane that had a significant impact on WWII. Enjoy!

Our re-evaluation of Hayao Miyazaki's filmography comes to a close with the fictionalised biography of fighter plane designer Jiro Horikoshi. We also look back at the season as we reveal our favourites, hidden gems and worst films of Miyazaki's filmography.

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's second Countdown miniseries of 2023, a podcast first focusing entirely on the works of Japanese animator, Hayao Miyazaki: the Miyazaki Countdown. To honor one of the living legends of animation, the countdown crew of Scott, Scott, and Jay will watch all 11 of Miyazaki's films to-date, rewinding all the way back to his directorial origins with 1979's action-adventure heist thriller LUPIN III: THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO, all the way to his then-final film, 2013's biographical epic romance drama, THE WIND RISES. Join us each week over the next 11 weeks, as we build up to what is Miyazaki's self-proclaimed now-final film (we'll see...), the fantasy epic, THE BOY AND THE HERON.   In Part 11 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss what seemed for many years toa be Hayao Miyazaki's swan song, the 2013 animated historical drama, THE WIND RISES. Set over 20+ years in Japan, THE WIND RISES goes back to Miyazaki's own roots: World War II and airplanes, crafting a somewhat fictionalized bio pic of the Japanese aeronautical engineer and designer of several Japanese military planes used in World War II, Jiro Horikoshi. Young Jiro grows up longing to become a pilot, though he recognizes his nearsightedness will likely preventing him from doing so. One night, Jiro dreams of his hero, Italian World War I aircraft designer, Giovanni Battista Caproni. In this dream, Caproni tells Jiro that he's never flown a plane in his life, and that building planes is much better than flying them. Fast forward 7 years after the conclusion of World War I, and Jiro is off to Tokyo to study aeronautical engineering to fulfill his dream of building big, beautiful planes. On the train, he meets a young girl, Nahoko, and when the Great Kantō earthquake hits, assists Nahoko and her maid to safety. Two years later, Jiro graduates with his friend, Kiro Honjo, and both are employed in the aircraft manufacturing divisions of Mitsubishi to design and build fighter planes. Throughout the rest of his life, Jiro must reconcile the beauty of his passion and his creations with the terrible purpose it is clear that they will be used for. Something he struggles with, especially with failure after failure to successfully test his designs. The countdown crew discuss Miyazaki's most recent and arguably most personal film, including how many elements of Jiro Horikoshi's internal conflicts and personal reckonings feel like things deeply ingrained within Miyazaki himself, how his animation of airplanes comes to life after so many representations of them in his prior films, and how fitting of a denouement this would have been for his career, if not for the inescapable pull of trying to live, while the wind is rising.

While no longer the case as of a few months ago, legendary director Hayao Miyazaki's last film was to be 2013's The Wind Rises, a fictionalized biography of Japanese WWII engineer Jiro Horikoshi spliced with a wondrous Miyazaki manga, wrapped up in the classical Studio Ghibli bow with gorgeous animation and vibrant, memorable scenes. There's plenty of controversy surrounding the implications of celebrating the mind behind the most destructive Axis warplane in WWII - and the gang discusses this at length - but overall we think the film is a uniquely thought-provoking and emotional entry from Miyazaki, worth its spot in the Miyazaki/Ghibli pantheon in its own right. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

We're wrapping up the merry month of May-azaki with his latest (but maybe not so greatest) movie: The Wind Rises! It's all about planes and the inventor of the legendary Zero aerocraft Jiro Horikoshi but does this movie soar above the clouds with the rest or does it fall right out of the sky right into the pits of mediocrity? Well, it's Miyazaki so you know it's not going to be bad but hey! I have to entice you to listen by raising the stakes so here are you stakes as you like them: medium rare and slightly raised! Would you like some stake sauce with that? These are good puns, Matt. Remember to use them in the show where people actually care later. You're right, Matt. I will. Have I filled in enough space yet? Eh. It's good enough for now. I'll fill in with more description if someone says something. Probably.

Jiro Horikoshi was the most brilliant Japanese aeronautic engineer of his time. He grew up dreaming of bringing Japan into an age where people could travel the world in airplanes. But he was born in a time when his country was at war, and the only use for his talent was to make bombers during World War II. Horikoshi designed the famous A6M Zero Bomber. This was considered to be the most successful dog fighter of its time, and the plane would eventually become associated with the infamous Kamikazes. On today’s Biographics, we have the story of Jiro Horikoshi’s life, and the impact his creation had on the world.

  Our month-long celebration of Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki reaches its bittersweet conclusion with a look at Miyazaki's purported final film, 2013's The Wind Rises; and Mami Sunada's documentary about its making, The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness. Joining Paul and AJ for their final descent into the world of Studio Ghibli is Smoke Gets in Your Ears: A Mad Men Podcast co-hosts Kenn Edwards and Joseph Lewis. The gang discusses the parallels between Miyazaki and The Wind Rises' aviation engineer Jiro Horikoshi, Miyazaki's surprisingly fatalistic outlook on life, and--naturally--the grand folly of art. Plus, Joe makes an exciting announcement! Next: leaping from one Disney-distributed universe to another, Paul and AJ enter The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

This is what's called serendipitous timing, folks. If you're downloading this episode the day it drops on iTunes, then we're just one day away from the Academy Awards, and the film we're talking about on the new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema may very well walk away with an Oscar this year. No, we're not going over Frozen again; instead, it's time to discuss Hayao Miyazaki's newest, and possibly final, film, The Wind Rises. Gabe and Josh are joined by Film School Rejects' Rob Hunter to debate Miyazaki's fictionalized biopic of Japanese airplane designer Jiro Horikoshi. Did Miyazaki need to be more strident in his criticism of the man who helped Japanese fighters fly in World War II? Is this film more than just a bunch of beautiful animation, or hollow aside from the visuals? And is the English-language dub going to be worth watching aside from hearing Werner Herzog as an animated character? Find out on the new episode!
