> it's the first movie by Miyazaki since 2013.

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.

Ok so I'm not the only person who accidentally calls it The Wind *Also* Rises!

Probably confusion with Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises

They do share a theme slightly. Surrender to the state of the world, stoic acceptance and such.

....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.

It'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.

Same here! I thought The Wind Rises was recent. Is this what old age feels like?
