Manipulating the wind and flying in the sky are dreams that the film director Hayao Miyazaki had since he was a boy, and they are also universal dreams of mankind. The desire to fly higher, farther, and faster has been one driving force behind the development of human civilization. The merits, demerits, and conflicts of civilization symbolized by “flying” form one issue that Miyazaki has consistently addressed in all his films since Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984. In this article first, Kiki’s Delivery Service released in 1989, and The Wind Rises, produced 24 years later in 2013 as a culmination of Miyazaki’s work, are compared. In these works, “wind” symbolizes the free work of human intelligence. The wind of intelligence encourages communication with others, such as with the character Nahoko from The Wind Rises, who represents the earth. As pure desire, intelligence helps develop science and technology but also can become a windstorm that destroys the world. Is it possible for humans to control the wind called intelligence and fly? Both Tombo (in Kiki’s Delivery Service) and Jiro Horikoshi (in The Wind Rises), though on different scales, had a growing desire to develop technology and subsequently, a growing conflict was caused by this desire. These phenomena represent human suffering itself, which can be seen as far back as the desires and the conflicts of the main character Oedipus in the ancient Greek tragedy.
