After Sophie is cursed into an old woman by Howl\u2019s old flame, the two meet again and their dynamic builds. Howl reveals a childlike, irresponsible personality underneath his suave exterior, and Sophie gradually reveals that she lacks self-love and confidence. Regardless of their jarringly different needs, they bring out the best in each other for one reason: they love one another unconditionally.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><br \/>\nSophie is right there cleaning up the mess when Howl throws a temper tantrum and begins to melt away. She\u2019s swift to defend his name to the wizard Suliman when he\u2019s insulted, and she begs Howl to let her help him when she learns what the war is doing to him. On the other side, Howl treats Sophie the same whether she\u2019s young or old \u2014 he shows her kindness, trust and affection at every turn, and he can hardly believe it when Sophie confides that she feels useless and ugly. No matter the situation, these two desperately want to support each other.

They\u2019re not constantly around each other, and when they\u2019re apart, they\u2019re growing and bettering themselves. Sophie begins running the castle like a well-oiled machine, and she forms close bonds with Markl, Calcifer, Turnip Head and even the Witch of the Waste. In taking care of other people, she feels strong and useful; she gradually builds newfound confidence and forges a purpose in life, which makes her a steady grounding force for Howl\u2019s free-spirited ways.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\nThough he\u2019s a little careless and doesn\u2019t always make great decisions, Howl spends his time away giving everything he has to the war. He chooses to risk his humanity by fighting on both sides of the conflict, which he believes to be the right thing in his heart. As he realizes that each monstrous transformation makes it harder to become human again, he makes the responsible decision to set his new family up in a stable life in case he dies fighting. Toward the end of the film, he remarks that in loving Sophie, he\u2019s found a reason to stop running away. Since the two can develop themselves as people <em>and<\/em> grow as a couple, they build a meaningful relationship without sacrificing their own identities.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"it-conveys-an-important-message-about-beauty\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Conveys_An_Important_Message_About_Beauty\"><\/span> It Conveys An Important Message About Beauty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img single-image landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:40%\" title=\"The loving couple from Howl&amp;#39;s Moving Castle\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C08737AD-C8A4-4929-8823-7B2674C6B0CA.webp?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C08737AD-C8A4-4929-8823-7B2674C6B0CA.webp?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C08737AD-C8A4-4929-8823-7B2674C6B0CA.webp?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C08737AD-C8A4-4929-8823-7B2674C6B0CA.webp?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"2000\" height=\"800\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Howl\u2019s Moving Castle Howl and Sophie\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Via: Studio Ghibli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The film\u2019s opening shows Sophie as a young woman, though this quickly changes when the Witch of the Waste turns her into an old woman. This is extremely important to her relationship with Howl for a few reasons. We already know Sophie struggles with self-confidence and believes she\u2019s unremarkable. Surprisingly, this starts to reverse when she\u2019s cursed \u2014 deciding that her outward appearance now matches her personality, she takes it in stride and starts enjoying life more. However, we see Sophie change back to her young self multiple times, especially when she\u2019s expressing her love for Howl or otherwise standing up for someone. The way she views herself directly impacts how she portrays herself to others, and she\u2019s far happier when she\u2019s old and not even concerned about her beauty.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! --><br \/>\nNow let\u2019s talk about Howl: he&#8217;s obsessed with being attractive and even suggests that his life isn&#8217;t worth living if he can&#8217;t be beautiful. This means nothing when Sophie comes into his life. He whisks her away and shows her affection right from the beginning of the film, and his attitude toward her only stiffens a little when he meets her as an old stranger. Once he warms back up to her, he\u2019s exactly as sweet and enthusiastic as he was when she was young.<\/p>\n<p>Both characters are highly consumed with their own perceived beauty (or lack thereof) until they connect. Once this happens, they\u2019re so concerned with helping the other person recognize their worth that they gradually learn to accept themselves in the process.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-use-of-time-travel-enhances-the-story\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Use_of_Time_Travel_Enhances_the_Story\"><\/span> The Use of Time Travel Enhances the Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img single-image landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:53.785714285714%\" title=\"Howl and Calcifer in Howl&amp;#39;s Moving Castle\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/129D2043-C656-4203-ABD5-E89E7D2FB7B3.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/129D2043-C656-4203-ABD5-E89E7D2FB7B3.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/129D2043-C656-4203-ABD5-E89E7D2FB7B3.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/129D2043-C656-4203-ABD5-E89E7D2FB7B3.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1400\" height=\"753\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Howl and Calcifer\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Via: Studio Ghibli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One of the coolest things about <em>Howl\u2019s Moving Castle<\/em> is how the film uses time <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> as a storytelling device.

He greets her with, \u201cI\u2019ve been looking everywhere for you!\u201d, though she has no recollection of meeting him. It\u2019s often theorized that young Howl didn\u2019t know who Sophie was, but he still spent the rest of his life trying to find her. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s wearing a ring that leads him to his heart\u2019s desire for most of the film; there\u2019s a very strong chance that it leads him to Sophie in the first place, and she later uses it to find Howl. The two lovers had met somewhere in time before they truly knew each other, and it\u2019s part of what draws them so close together so quickly.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n<span class=\"related-single\">Related: Studio Ghibli Takes to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> to Answer Spirited Away Fan Questions<\/span><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"it-shows-how-love-can-change-the-world\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Shows_How_Love_Can_Change_the_World\"><\/span> It Shows How Love Can Change the World<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img single-image landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:54.052734375%\" title=\"The housemates of Howl&amp;#39;s Moving Castle\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F24EB658-14FB-47BB-958F-8C1DD92E382A.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F24EB658-14FB-47BB-958F-8C1DD92E382A.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F24EB658-14FB-47BB-958F-8C1DD92E382A.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F24EB658-14FB-47BB-958F-8C1DD92E382A.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"2048\" height=\"1107\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Howl\u2019s Moving Castle\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Via: Studio Ghibli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Looming over this love story is the impending doom of war, and we can see how it\u2019s tearing the country apart.
