I was going to say "what about The Wind also Rises?"... and then looked it up and it was released in 2013. Hard to believe it's been 10 years.
- the_af 3y agoSame here! I thought The Wind Rises was recent. Is this what old age feels like?
- Forgeties79 3y agoOk so I'm not the only person who accidentally calls it The Wind *Also* Rises!
- samcheng 3y agoProbably confusion with Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises
- erulabs 3y agoThey do share a theme slightly. Surrender to the state of the world, stoic acceptance and such.
- samplatt 3y ago....I've watched the movie like four times and I think this is the first time I've noticed there's not 'also' in the title.
- sn41 3y agoIt's "The Wind Rises" - from Paul Valery's famous closing stanza of "Le cimetiere marin" (The Cemetery by the Sea) "Le vent se lève !… Il faut tenter de vivre !" "The wind rises... we must try to live" To me it denotes a sad, stoic acceptance that things are about to go down badly, but we must somehow survive.
