Another masterpiece from the great, innovative Miyazaki who offers an alternative to Hollywood's bland corporate produced fairy-tale animations. Miyazaki's hand drawn pictures present a magical world of the love of aircraft design which is paired with the wonderment of the early flying machines. The nastier aspects of politics and Japanese history are neatly avoided in favour of the details of Jiro's development as a top-notch aircraft builder and his sad love-affair with the doomed Nahoko. This big, epic movie is redolent of the sort of live-action tale that David Lean would fashion. The representation of the Kanto Earthquake is almost worth the price of admission alone. Sadly, rumour has it, this maybe Hayao Miyazaki's last film.
