"The Wind Rises spans over a decade of history between the 1920s and 1930s: a troubled period for many countries in the world, during which Japan was subject to the poverty of the Great Depression and the devastation of the Great Kanto Earthquake, before eventually becoming embroiled in World War II. Miyazaki’s film is loosely based on Tatsuo Hori’s novel of the same name, and is the largely fictionalized story of aeronautical engineer Jiro Horikoshi, the planes he designed (including the Mitsubishi Zero), and his romance with a tuberculosis patient."
Geoffrey Wexler, the head of the international division at Studio Ghibli, announced that Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises film will open in North America on February 21. In addition, audiences can choose between seeing the film with an English dub or with English subtitles. The February 21 opening will be a limited release, before expanding wider in subsequent weeks.
