Howl's moving castle-a dream world built by love and innocence

Nicolas 2022-01-25 08:03:03

Both Hal and Sophie are willful and unruly. He is not close to the crowd, he walks alone, and behaves strangely and mysteriously, but he is chasing the castle and the witch who is peeping at his heart in splendid clothes; she knows that there is no way out but guards her father's old hat shop, which is a little disrespectful. Never compromise.

The world excludes this. He was discredited as a demon; she was cursed as an old woman.

But they were unmoved. He still acts arbitrarily. She continues to live an optimistic life.



Both Sophie and Hal are pure and pure in heart. She also lends a helping hand when she sees the witch who cursed herself is lonely; he lives with the helpless little devil Mark, and takes care of each other's daily life.

These are all elements that can purify people's hearts. She moved the director of royal witchcraft, the demon Lucifer, and the witch who had hated herself; he moved her deeply.

The world will be infected, no matter how wrong the situation is. The spell disappeared because of them, and the drum of war died because of them.





"The advantage of being old is that there is not much to lose."

-Sophie is so optimistic even after she gets old by the wilderness witch, because she has love, love for life, love for nature, right Howl's love.

When Sophie was defending Hal’s actions and thoughts, and seeing Hal open her heart to herself, the spell in her almost failed, and her youthful appearance and vitality leaped;

when Sophie just gave a piece Hair can make Lucy the fire ambassador’s already collapsed mobile castle, that is, how Hal’s dreams are recombined, and rushing to pursue his master;

when Sophie returns to Hal’s childhood, the flowers bloom without borders, and the sky On the slender field like crystal, not only saw Hal and his innocent heart, the voice also penetrated everything, sending the call to Hal’s heart;

when Sophie held the fading Lucifer and Hal When I feel like a bird, I can still feel that he is still jumping for joy like a bird, and he has been restored to Hal, and he has rescued the innocent man and the devil;

everything is also bright and cheerful. It turns out that in the dream world, love is not only Can travel through regions and time and space, and can also ignore curses and life and death.



Hal has always been unruly and free. Legend has it that he is a bad guy who specializes in catching girls and then sucking their souls... But people can only hear bad images that are rumored and shoulder-to-shoulder blondes flutter in the wind. The appearance-a beautiful and dangerous trap, the dazzling beauty conceals the murderous opportunity to obtain souls. But I can't see his heart burning, driving dreams and freedom.

But dreams and freedom are a vast and clear sky, or it can be a bottomless black hole without boundaries. Hal's heart has nothing but dreams and freedom. Too much freedom and emptiness make his pure heart unattached. He can only cling to the flashy appearance, so even when he fights or escapes the wilderness witch, he never gives up. Huafu, so when the proud blonde turned back to ordinary black because of Sophie, he almost collapsed and melted into a translucent viscous green liquid...

Sophie's careful care And love is like sunshine and air, silently nourishing and melting Hal's heart, making her walk into his room. A large room with all kinds of toys hung or stacked on the walls and even the ceiling, the floor and beside the bed. This is a manifestation of the fear of loneliness and emptiness in the bones, and the colorful environment is also dim because of the long-term loneliness of the owner. . When Hal said softly "Sophie, don't go...", he had opened the first room of his heart to her, telling his timidity and helplessness, and at this moment he showed the real Self... After

Hal recovered, he took great care of Sophie, first created a new house, and then brought her to the last corner of the most secret in his heart, an endless valley, rising and falling. The soil is full of simple and beautiful flowers, the slender and dust-free sky is floating with lazy clouds, and small puddles and streams are scattered among the grass and flowers, like the sky scattered in the lower realm. The fragments and pure nature make them reflect their attachment and nostalgia for the blue sky all the time. At this time, Hal had completely exposed his heart that had never been opened to her. These are all unconsciously natural revelations, and Hal still doesn't know that love has come.

The flames of war are spreading, and even the sky is burning. Hal knew that artillery fire would destroy everything, so Sophie’s hug did not allow him to stay, and said affectionately, “It’s so rare to find someone to protect yourself. I won’t let her be harmed, and this person It's you...". A child who used to be impetuous, intoxicated with vanity, and locked in his heart finally found his soul at this moment. Firm and pure love is the only and firm belief he has lived at this moment and today, allowing him to defend his love fearlessly and unswervingly.



In the end, Sophie's love and Hal's purity stopped the war and changed the world. When Howl’s mobile castle renewed its movement, and no longer used four feet to run, but soared between the sky and the earth, and in the white clouds, when the two of them embraced and kissed each other in the cool breeze, they immediately understood that love would not be exploited. Freedom and dreams, on the contrary, can make the heart let go of everything and fly higher.





Hal never opens up to others, or does he feel that they are not qualified to peek into his own heart, which leads to discrimination and misunderstanding around him? But he was lucky, because he met Sophie, and her clear heart could sense his leaping heart like a bird.

This reminds me of a song Eason "Durian Durian"

"game world, the game world
to my old bad idea seriously
for all also hold the psychological play, laughing bundle tied only taught me not afford to fly


without hang no pull, how Perfect
but found to be so dull to death.
Fortunately, you can see through the secrets in your heart, and use the wings of your lips to carry me


so that I can float into the sea of ​​love,
and then I can’t do without you. The honest love
makes me worry and hang on.
I look forward to earnestly when my heart is really tight.
My real existence


floats into your grace,
no matter how bad I am, you are all loaded
with your innocence and wipe my dust, and let this turbid current flow into the Qinghai is
really a lovely

game on earth, a game on earth
Finding freedom in the past is an excuse
In fact, I dare not give it up, so I just play, forget that people really love people to know how to fly,


let you and I float into the sea of ​​love,
and then I can’t do without my honest love,
learn to be caring , and earnestly look forward to
when my heart is true Keep tight that
I really exist,


fluttering into your style,
no matter how bad I am, you are all loaded
with your innocence and wipe my dust, so that the common people can see the wonderful
world again. Cuteness is
really cute. "





Maybe such a beautiful thing can only exist. In the ingenious, pure and graceful dream world constructed by Diana W. Jones’ ingenious dreams and the helpless reality of Miyazaki’s colorful pictures.

Even Hal’s name "Howl" is such an ingenious arrangement , But how many people's shouts will be heard by how many people?
