Movie Review: Howl's Moving Castle.
Mood: Clutch Fever....
Yesterday, I went to watch the movie Howl's Moving Castle with Fadh. It was based on a novel by Diana Wynne Jones and the animation was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. He was also the master behind Spirited Away, The Cat Returns and Princess Mononoke. Howl's Moving Castle was about this girl, a hat maker, conveniently named Sofie Hatter. She was put under a spell by the Witch of the Wastes and turned into an old woman. Hoping that the passing wizard Howl would help her, she seeked his castle that looks like a robot with 4 chicken legs and some protuding parts that looks like those u can find on a male body. The moving castle is powered by the fire demon Calcifer who looks like a hamster. hehe Anyway, the story is really heartwarming as Howl's apprentice Markl gets used to being treated as a child rather than an apprentice. Getting the love and attention all children needs. It also unfold the mystery of Howl's cold heartedness towards life. The romantic comedy has a fairy tale ending but its not as lame as those depicted in Disney's pictures..
