Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle is more than a simple love story. It’s a fantasy about a girl named Sophie who turns into a 90-year-old woman due to a curse from the Witch of the Waste. Having no choice but to leave her home and hide her frightening condition from her family, Sophie takes refuge in a moving castle that belongs to a notorious wizard named Howl.Howl leads Sophie through enchanting adventures, the pair falling in love along the way, but there is so much more to their story than romance. The more one watches Howl’s Moving Castle, the more one understands the meaning and beauty behind every scene. The entire film appears to reveal itself as a metaphor, or allegory, a technique used for telling a story. Moreover, many of the events happening on the screen seem to suggest there is far more going on than meets the eye.The 2004 anime film traverses several themes, but not all of them are obvious the first time around. This has prompted many viewers to rewatch and search for hidden messages. Even after finding them, however, they aren’t always easy to understand.
