# Where to Watch The Wind Rises

**The Wind Rises turns one complete movie into a patient look at the pleasure of designing aircraft and the unease of seeing beautiful work put to destructive use. Netflix and Max carry the film, with the applicable service determined by your region. Also released as Kaze Tachinu, this finished 2013 Studio Ghibli production runs for 126 minutes. Its Drama and Romance elements share the focus: professional ambition shapes the central conflict, while a tender relationship gives that conflict a deeply personal weight. This is best suited to viewers who enjoy reflective pacing and unresolved moral discomfort. It is less likely to satisfy someone looking for a brisk aviation adventure, since the film is far more interested in the human cost behind invention.**

## Synopsis

A nearsighted boy who longs for flight realizes that he cannot become a pilot, so he directs that fascination into aircraft design. His talent carries him into engineering, where elegant ideas begin to leave the drawing table and enter a world increasingly shaped by military needs. Alongside that work, he finds love and tries to hold on to private happiness. The Wind Rises follows the tension between creative devotion and the uses other people find for what has been created, keeping the story close to one life rather than turning it into a broad account of war.
