Director : Hayao Miyazaki
Running Time : 121 mins
Jiro Horikoshi (Gordon-Levitt) dreams of being a pilot, but his poor eyesight has robbed him of this dream. Instead he takes a job as an engineer and soon becomes a much used airplane designer. As he lives through some of Japans most key moments in the early to mid twentieth century, he finds the time to meet and fall in love with Nahoko (Blunt) and make a lifelong friend in the form of Honjo (Krasinski).
Although the animation in this Studio Ghibli movie is as good as any other, it is clear that this was something of a passion project form Miyazaki, whose love of planes even led him to naming his company after one. Children will find the story extremely slow going, but adult might enjoy the look at the man responsible for some of the more innovative Japanese planes to come out of the twentieth century.
