SUMMARY:
In a follow-up to their infamous Miyazaki episode, The Other Side takes a look at Miyazaki’s “last” film, The Wind Rises. Specifically, the creepy undertones of revisionist history and the apparent denial of any responsibility from Japan for WWII. Was Jiro really the pacifist he was painted as in the film?
