this movie is the worst hayao miyazaki movie, it's completely dull and not interesting at all. nahoko's character is really underused, her romance with jiro sucks since he only seems to care about planes and stay all day away from her and when he comes home, he is UNABLE to stay A FEW HOURS without smoking in a TINY room that nahoko can't even leave from how sick she is and then in the end she just run away and the movie ends without we knowing how jiro reacted to it. horrible, i really love all of hayao's other movies but this one particularly sucks
