With that in mind, this movie does its story quite well, helped by the lovable duo of Wood\u2019s Huck Finn and Courtney B. Vance\u2019s remarkable Jim. <\/p>\n

The Japanese anime production company, Studio Ghibli, is the best of its kind for a reason, and The Wind Rises<\/em> is a prime example of that. As one of the final movies from fabled director Hayao Miyazaki, it tells the emotional and gorgeous story of Japanese aviation engineer Jiro Horikoshi and those around him, brought to life by a wonderful cast of Elijah Wood and others. <\/p>\n While Elijah Wood was a known quantity before the long-awaited film adaptation of J.R.R.
