Film Review : Howl's Moving Castle

I love watch movie especially animation from Japan or Korea. I love their style of stories even it was a fairy tales story and just an imagination from the narrator, but they can delivered it with interesting. Before this I was already watched several animation like ‘Appleseed’, ‘Innocence’, ‘Spirited Away’, ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’, and many more. I exposed to this movie when my brother bought and tell me the stories from Japan and Korea. He also wants me to learn how to learn drawing style in these types of movies.

Here I wrote down the film review or summary from the most favorite movie of mine: ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’.

This film is about a young beautiful girl Sopie being cursed by a witch and is turned into a ninety-year-old woman. Forced to leave home, Sopie enters Howl’s moving castle by chance. Then she met scarecrow, a little fire named Casifa and fall in love with Howl. Howl was the best witch that can curse and use magic for helps; he also can change his identity until he got an invitation from the king to against the war. Howl have a college where ugly and not disciplined in using the magic. She used the magic to curse any innocent people and she already abandoned by the king. Little is known about the film, but from the few images available it should be another high quality animation film from the master. Already scheduled to complete for the Golden Lion in 2005 Venice film festival, one of the most prestigious awards in the world, it certainly seems that this is another masterpiece ready to be unleashed.

I hope our animator from Malaysia can learn from them that making every film with the whole soul they have to make sure the movie are very interested and the best story of the year. Good luck and this is the challenge for the animation company like Les Copaque and Animasia Studio.
