Although the years go by, the only thing that remains unchanged is a heart

When I was watching the movie a long time ago, I borrowed the CD-ROM of this animation from my classmates and watched it quietly all afternoon. The first sight that Hal gave me was so stunning, with yellow shoulder-length hair, elegant posture, and gentle voice. We were obsessed with him, obsessed with thinking that we wanted to grasp the boy’s heart, just like a wasteland witch. Don't want to give it to others.
Now I regain it. The beautiful grasslands, flowers and bustling streets in the picture are exquisite and dreamy with Hisaishi Joe's music. I think of the way the years slip away. I was obsessed with such a boy. The Sophie who switched between the old lady and the young girl, the house running on the grass, and the Hal flying in the blue sky, what a wonderful thing.
Hayao Miyazaki's animation always contains his own love for peace and a beautiful call for humanity. Did you arouse your girl's heart after reading it? I love you, even if you become ugly, I am willing to hug you. Time flies, and the only thing that remains unchanged is your heart.
Believe you, animation is also an art. Even if everything changes, don't forget your original intention.

    Howl: That is ancient sorcery, and quite powerful too.

    Markl: Is it from the Witch of the Waste?
