A movie against war and one of my fav's by Miyazaki
Howl's Moving Castle is my second favorite Hayao Miyazai film. It has his trademark world of magic with a young character in the lead. It also has an anti-war message to it as Miyazai was outraged by the Iraq War in 2003.<br /><br />The movie focuses upon Sophie who lives in a town. Everything is normal until she meets Howl. They end up being chased by beings that look like their bodies made out of oil. Howl takes her walking on air. Later she’s cursed by Witch of the Waste to be an old woman. Miyazai was always great at creating a truly magical world full of the unexpected and great characters and creatures and this was no different. There are some real surprises as well such as in the English version the fire demon that powers Howl’s moving castle is voiced by Billy Crystal.<br /><br />Next is the message. Sophie’s country goes to war and demands that all magicians join. Howl refuses and says that any wizard that does will become a beast and not be able to turn back. That’s obviously a metaphor for people who believe in war. They lose their soul as a result.<br /><br />The characters are engaging. The world is unique as ever. The message is important all rounding out into a fantastic film.<br />C
