They're so different! I mean, you can easily see where Miyazaki took his story from and why he had to edit down, but its really neat to compare.<br /><br />And there IS a sequal...to the book. It's "Castle in the Air", which, interestingly enough, is not at all related to Miyazaki's film "Castle in the Sky." I found that really strange.<br /><br />But in the book, a bunch of the characters from "Howl's Moving Castle" make reappearances.Nuwandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901101.post-86264209989305918992009-02-01T22:09:00.000-05:002009-02-01T22:09:00.000-05:00I actually watched this movie last night.

I love the mix of realism with fantasy. It creates such a truly unique world. The characters were so endearing, as well as enthralling. I found myself particularly fascinated with Howl.<BR/><BR/>Truly smashing film.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242677514598095320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901101.post-5765866548033130042009-01-27T22:59:00.000-05:002009-01-27T22:59:00.000-05:00Hi, I am really a fan of Howl's moving Casle.

And of course I have never wanted to wake from it. Returning to this world, where everything is too realistic sometimes which makes me feel a litle bit bored and depressed. In fact every Hayao Miyazaki's movie (also the director of Howl's moving castle) is without logic. It is also his motto" I made a film without logic, why shouldn't I? Illogical to the logical things, but logicals in an illogical way. Its our imgaination"<BR/>He always wants to break out from the ordinary way of thinking, finally results in incredible creativity. I just love how this film was made and how it s always here, in my heart. Even those sountracks just ... miraculous.

I have to agree that Billy Crystal's voice is a lot more humorous and better fits Calcifer's character as opposed to Tatsuya Gasyuin. <BR/><BR/>Compared with other movies, American and non-American made, the movie doesn't have the cliff-hanger that some do, but I still wish there was a sequel that followed the same story line. It was a good ending though, as all fairytales should have that "happily-ever-after" ending.<BR/><BR/>Ah well.<BR/>It's still my favorite movie to this day. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
