ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the creative intention and storytelling strategy of Hayao Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises and how it affected the audience response and critical debate in both Korea and Japan. In this anime, Miyazaki attempted to convey a message of caution regarding the essence and value of life, as well as its limitations and dangers, by reinterpreting Horikoshi’s life. He also attempted to convey the message, which was “told” in literature such as poetry and novels, by “showing” it through visual and auditory images. However, the problem lies in the fact that Miyazaki used real person as the subject matter of this anime. For him, anime is a medium that realizes dreams and hopes in a world of fantasy, so it is far from claims of political and ethical legitimacy. Therefore, Miyazaki acknowledges that Japan’s society has contradictions and weaknesses, and that humans are also contradictory and weak beings, but he adopts a strategy of expressing this in an implicit manner. This strategy seems to have led to differences in responses depending on the amount of information about the anime, which also led to debates about its evaluation. However, I think that such facts paradoxically reveal Miyazaki’s message that while a life of pursuing beautiful dreams and love is worthwhile, we must also pay attention to the movement and sound of the wind.
