  1. Oppenheimer (2023)
    "Christopher Nolan's biographical drama about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist behind the atomic bomb, mirrors *The Wind Rises* in its exploration of a creator's moral dilemmas when their innovations are used for destruction. Both films delve into the internal conflicts of their protagonists as they grapple with the consequences of their creations." 5 Ways in Which Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is Far Too Similar to Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises FandomWire
  2. The Boy and the Heron (2023)
    "Miyazaki's own film, released after *The Wind Rises*, continues to explore themes of personal loss and the impact of war. While not a direct influence, it reflects a continuation and evolution of the themes presented in *The Wind Rises*." The Boy and the Heron Wikipedia
