Flying in the sky with the one you love

I have always liked to watch Hayao Miyazaki's anime, and have seen most of them a long time ago. The same is true of Howl’s moving castle, but I didn’t watch it at the beginning when I watched it. When I was chatting about this anime with my classmates a few days ago, I was a little depressed and said: "Why is Hal so handsome and wants to be with such an old grandmother? Together?!" My classmate listened to it and looked at me with contempt. "That grandma became like this after being cursed by a witch, okay!" This time I put this anime again. Find out and look at it once. Finally learned that the heroine Sophie actually became an old woman half of the reason because of Hal. I think Sophie is really brave and strong. When she found out that she was getting old, she didn't act too hysterical. Instead, she told herself over and over again to be calm, and then quickly got her thoughts out. Of course, she is also very kind. After she saved the scarecrow "Caitou", "Caitou" was very grateful to the grandmother for taking her to Hal's castle. Sophie stayed there as a cleaner, and the devil Calcifa and Maruk liked her very much. To be honest, I really think Hal is so handsome, but Hal is so narcissistic, and sometimes timid, he is still a very cute character in my eyes. I feel that Mr. Miyazaki likes girls with short hair, because many of the heroines in palace anime have short hair. I think Mr. Miyazaki’s anti-war thinking can also be seen from this animation, and Hal’s Secret Garden should also be his paradise. Throughout the anime, some of the dialogues and scenes are very humorous, and the plot is also very touching. The characters inside are actually very cute. In a word, I really like "Howl's Moving Castle".

Howl's Moving Castle quotes

  • Howl: So what do you have in your pocket, Sophie?

    Old Sophie: Huh?

    [Finds a folded piece of paper]

    Old Sophie: What is this?

    Howl: Give it to me.

    [paper burns leaving marks on the table]

    Markl: Scorch marks! Howl, can you read them?

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

    Markl: Is it from the Witch of the Waste?

    Howl: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man, your heart shall soon be mine." That can't be good for the table.

    [covers the marks with his hand]

    Markl: Wow! It's gone!

    Howl: The mark may be gone, but the spell is still there.

  • [Two soldiers are bothering Sophie]

    Howl: There you are, sweetheart, sorry I'm late. I was looking everywhere for you.

    Soldier: Hey, hey! We're busy here!

    Howl: Are you really? To me, it looked like the two of you were just leaving.

    [gestures with his hand, the soldiers are forced to march away]
