I love Miyazaki’s work, but I was disapointed in Howl’s. Maybe it was the bad english dub, but the story seemed to lack a clear direction. It wandered, which is an uncharacteristic trait for a Miyazaki film. Even so, the fantastic visuals alone are enough to bring me back to the theater to see it again! And I want to live in that castle!
Glad you found my comments interesting enough to put up a link. How’d you find me, by the way?
Miyazaki is amazing….it seems he is reinventing himself. Story is complex but great. I had to watch more than once to really get it. It has fun story on the top layer and has a lot more deeper layers under that. I just do not know what to say for his critical view of human nature. I will not comment of images…all know it is magnificent!
