And having so many doors to exit through also showed that perhaps we truly don’t belong anywhere: maybe we don’t need to have a set destination in order to travel. Why is there a moving castle however? And why did it keep travelling? Personally, I found it intriguing that the castle never found a dead-end spot. I also always loved how the story ended with a turn back to the past: almost insinuating the idea of the future and how it all happened because of a past that even the protagonist wasn’t aware of. This story goes through so many stages, so many beautiful t urns and twists, while the characters find one another but also in hope to change and bring hope to the world. However, he also has a very weak and vulnerable state when it comes to love or The Witch of the Waste, which at times complicates things even more, but he eventually pulls through when he is needed (mostly because of Sophie and the courage she offers him).

He is a physical example of using your powers for good. However, what impressed me about him was his constant disapproval and disgust for what people are capable of when they hurt one another. Wizard Howl on the other hand has a certain charm to him, showing a lot of awareness for what is happening around him, while being trapped in his own ego at the same time. Once she is turned into a 90 year old woman, we realise how much like an old woman her true self really is: patient, lovely, kind and wise. She also teaches patience but mostly kindness. I think what Sophie taught me was that it’s okay to dream in life: she wanted something more but almost blamed herself for thinking that way, and not being grateful instead.
However, as the story progresses, there’s so much to her character, her desires and her feelings which keep growing as the story develops. If we look at the main character first of all, Sophie Hatter, we see someone innocent, plain and just ordinary.

She then gets cursed into a 90 year old woman, and follows Howl, trying to find a way to break the curse. Plus, it’s a Hayao Miyazaki classic: in my opinion everyone needs to experience his stories.įor those that haven’t, it’s about an ordinary girl who finds her life being thrown into chaos once she encounters a wizard name Howl. Howl’s Moving Castle is a classic from 2004, which truly rings a bell in all of us: I’m pretty sure if you love anime, you’ve s een it. I wanted to look at another Anime movie, but instead of reviewing it, I wanted to look at various meanings I personally see behind it.
