Just watched Howl's Moving Castle. Visually, it was a very beautiful movie. The characters were fun and interesting! I am maybe in love with the fire a little bit, it's the cutest thing I've ever seen. I am definitely in love with Howl, because see, he throws an emo tantrum and his hair turns black. Sophie is very amusing with the "I'm old! Ah, well, at least I already dressed like an old woman, this works out perfectly!"
Plot-ly... let's not go there. It was lighthearted entertainment and I am *not* going to nitpick all the things that were never explained, i.e. Sophie's age fluctuations, Howl's sporadic Keats-ian obsession with beauty, why having his heart eaten by a wisecracking blob of energy would make a man turn into a giant bird, &c.
It was a pretty movie. Now I shall read the book and get the plot! And then I can shove them together in my head and it will be an ill fit but it will make me happy.
ETA: Oh, fuck it, I'll embed video tomorrow. Too late for LJ's issues tonight.
