"Devil's Heart"

This movie has a relatively low reputation among the works directed by Hayao Miyazaki. After watching the entire animation, I also found that this animation is indeed not as popular as Hayao Miyazaki's popular works. First of all, there is a little confusion in the plot. Of course, the blurring of the boundaries between the bad guys and the good guys is not a bad thing. The bad thing is that the war starts easily and ends easily, like it starts for the sake of the beginning and ends for the sake of the end. The old dog in the film is really cute, and the little short legs even wriggle when he runs. Although the old lady witch was still greedy, at the last moment, her heart was purified. Howl's image is handsome and beautiful. He licked his wounds in his cave, and when the feathers on his body slowly emerged, there was a strange goodwill in my mind. The scarecrow, the little boy and the protagonist are all so innocent and kind, and the little boy is very kawaii when he turns into an old man and then turns into a child. How beautiful is Howl's Moving Castle, and at the end there's only one plank left and it's going to keep going. Fire Demon really wanted to stretch out his hand and squeeze it in the animation. Hayao Miyazaki has created an overhead world with developed steam technology in this animation. Those warships flying in the air really amaze me more than 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]
