Hayao Miyazaki's 'The Wind Rises'Studio Ghibli Inc.  Famed
Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki is back with his first
animated film in five years, "The Wind Rises." In "Wind,"
Miyazaki, the Oscar winner behind such modern classics as
"Spirited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle," tells the story of
Jiro Horikoshi, the inventor of the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter
plane flown by the Japanese in World War II.  Though the story
is mostly fictionalized -- it's based on a novel by Tatsuo Hori
-- Horikoshi was real, and the movie depicts his youth in the
1920s, when Japan was going through a depression and suffered a
devastating earthquake. The trailer showcases stunning footage
of that incident and its aftermath, and is full of the lush,
ethereal imagery that is Miyazaki's signature style.  Despite
the devastation in Horikoshi's past and the war waiting in his
future, the film looks like it will have some happy moments,
especially those concerning Nahoko, his female companion whom
the trailer describes as "ill-fated." Th
