The unbeautiful girl saves the world

Suddenly I wanted to see the secret garden in the film, so I played it again. About half a year ago, I discovered that I was no longer an ideal audience for cartoons anymore, and I became more convinced after watching this again.

I am always concerned about Sophie, who was originally ordinary and unpopular in the world, why in Hal's circle, everyone loves her, from Hal to Xiaohuo to children to scarecrow, Sophie can do everything: Clean up, take care of the baby and grandma, comfort Hal, or even go to the palace to confront the highest authority? ! Save the world in the end, just because she is Sophie, even Alcifah and Hal's devil trading setting can easily collapse, just because this group of people are happy, the two countries will happily cease the war? ! Is this for fun? Isn’t it important that other people’s lives have been ruined before?

It's really a secondary school. The whole world only wants my justice! Love! courage! It can be operated, and all other productive relations can be ignored.

Then why would Hal love Sophie? Well, Hal is the kind of cute blue kid who is not grown up. The standard for marrying a wife is to find a mother. Sophie is only a little man, and has a neutral beauty that ordinary people can't get at the time (the body is also very good. Yes, there is fairy silver hair), Hal is like a fashion circle who likes strange models, can you pick out Sophie's unique beauty. So Sophie is not bad-looking, don't be fooled, she is high-level beauty, high-level!

In addition, I think this story is an ordinary girl’s daydream. No wonder I don’t have any impression after watching it several times, but I still prefer Hayao Miyazaki’s original girl characters.

    I want a home after watching this movie. Wiping the floor, putting a clean tablecloth table under the sun, and taking care of a small flame are like guarding a lover's heart.

    Maybe it was that the completely packed movie theatre was affecting my sensations - I just couldn't like it as much as I liked Spirited Away. Still, too much romance.

Howl's Moving Castle quotes

  • Old Sophie: I wonder what Howl disguised himself as? Surely not a crow. Can't be a pigeon, he's too flamboyant for that.

    [a glider plane with a giggling young woman and her lover flies overhead]

    Old Sophie: That could be him.

  • Madam Suliman: That boy is extremely dangerous, his powers are far too great for someone without a heart.

    [pause]

    Madam Suliman: If he stays selfish, I'm afraid he'll end up just like the Witch of the Wastes.
