The flower garden scene from this movie is one of the best movie scenes in all of film history, change my mind. ALL RIGHTS GO TO STUDIO GHIBLI I OWN NOTHING composed by Joe Hisaishi originally from Howl's Moving Castle
this video rescued me. I discovered this in early august of last year, when I had just gone through a really tough breakup. my gf at the time was starting to get really manipulative, she would tell me if i didnt do xyz she would run my twin hamsters over (they were a gift from my mom so she knows they are special to me), sometimes even just dumb stuff like i didnt want to doordash that day because i didnt have the money or i wanted to save the money for something else. i always did what she wanted just bc i loved her and my hamsters too much to think it was worth fighting over. i became borderline obsessed with howls moving castle as a sort of coping mechanism and would imagine myself dancing to this song with someone- and i realized that someone wasnt my gf but instead someone who looked a lot like howl (just with short red curls instead and as a girl) and i felt like this was just a sign that i needed to break up with my gf and find the girl i saw in my mind. now today in 2023 i've found my howl :) she looks nothing like howl or even the howl i described in my imagination, but i know we are soulmates. we dance to this version in our kitchen with my hamsters now. seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
My favorite movie since my 12 years, I’ve watched it more than 30 times and I’m 23 years old today. This movie is part of me, is part of who I am as a person. I cry so hard when listening to these omg
I will never shut up about how beautiful this movie is. The visuals, the soundtrack, the story, everything is just 🥺🥺💖 Definitely one of my comfort movies.
Just a reminder; The end of the movie... Sophie:"Find me in the future." The beginning of the movie... Howl:"There you are, I've been looking for you!"

Just think it/want it and it shall be infront of your yours without delay A place where no harm, illness, inconvenience (no hot weather or too cold, no thirst, and you don’t get tiered, no envy no hatred no ill intentions whatsoever all that would be removed from your heart and biology once you enter heaven, also you don’t get tired nor do you feel pain/mental illnesses so no more worries or stress) ,no evil in any kind exit only what’s good (healthy, wonderful, pure no pollution or impurity or corruption if any kind etc) Heaven is real We are accountable for what we do and what intentions we hold in our hearts while we go on and about in our short life that’s a test to see who’s worthy and holds good /is patient and mindful and who’s lower than animal and devils (in terms of actions intentions towards oneself and those around them etc vile, perverted, evil, no self awareness, no dignity or accountability, injustice, corruption, greed, murder, exploitation, deception, adultery, same sex,, no restriction or Moral code of god practice in any kind nor mindfulness of this creation and meaning and purpose, headlessness, impatience, anger, abuse, sin , and no remorse or repentance what’s so ever before ones appointed death time etc) is typically the characteristics described by gods words in the holy book of people who enter hell But all sins can be forgiven if one sincerely repents to Allah except for one sin which is shirk”, in Islam is used to refer to idolatry or polytheism, which means deification, or worship of deity, gods, or anything other than Allāh. Or associating someone with god/Allah other than god The point is it’s not impossible and we have a life time of figuring out and getting it right as much as we can It s a miracle we’re alive today Ever day is another chance and opportunity to do better and reflect and repent, do better for ourselves and the people around us etc If your interested and feel like there’s a higher power, or are interest to know the facts and scientific facts that are stated in the Quran and related the holy book Quran Just lmk, and all be happy to help and inform all that I know of the topic as my journey in life and Islam wasn’t all sunshine(I hadn’t invested much nor did I practice and tried to learn more to grow a connection with allah and find peace with everyday life and meaning and “why” we should live and be patient and rise higher and not lower etc) as I had a lot of holes* and missing pieces of information that I didn’t know Knowing ones purpose and where we’re going and what are the ways of living to hopefully enter jannah/heaven removes a huge burden on ones shoulder as you know with all your heart the answers to all of these life’s difficult questions. With many proofs/facts and evidence to back it up even proof in ones own life there’s many signs too that play out Anyways I hope this gives you some hope and perspective as indeed there’s more to life than just living working and dying May Peace be upon you /assalamu Alaykum
I keep telling my parents the same thing but sadly they cant get past the war themes in the movie instead of seeing the beauty of the world in the movie :(
This scene always made me want to cry so much. Even though Sophie was cursed and looked old, Howl saw her beauty on the inside and loved her for that. And their love was so strong that it broke the curse, which I find so beautiful. (Edit) Omg Thank you guys so much for the likes. I have never gotten so many and it means a lot ♥♥♥♥
actually, the scenes where we saw her look younger were how he viewed her hhh. He wasn't tricked by the magic and knew how she looked like instantly so all the times we saw young sophie with white hair was what he was seeing
Her curse lifts whenever she lives in the moment, fully embracing being herself. When she is confident and happy, unworried about her "plainness" and unexciting lifestyle. Sophie was cursed to look like an old woman because that's what she believed herself to essentially be, just an old hatter. When she embraces her vitality, her beauty shines outwards, revealing her truest self.
@@mostlyimpulsive3462 I mean, yea I know that but it’s canon that howl could see through Sophie’s curse all along. We see her young whenever she lives in the moment like how everyone else sees her in that moment as well but she has always been young in howl’s perspective
Idk if it's because I'm a 16 year old boy I'm still finding new emotions but this scene emotionally overwhelms me with happiness ,sadness and joy it's so beautiful
Bro I feel the same way, like that blissful sense of wonder as a child coming back into the mind only to remind you that those days are over and that you must move on, truly an emotional piece of music.
Lead a very happy and successful life, know matter what you do, hope u find ur happiness mainly. i hope you and all your loved ones stay well. this is for anyone who is reading this. The world may be a dark place at times but we get our own silver linings at its own time, have hope.
Okay but seriously IMAGINE being Sophie, getting to live out the rest of your days with Howl, teaching Markl how to be a sorcerer, and getting to visit the garden Howl gave to you as a gift, all while living in a whimsical moving castle. I'm jealous. I also love this movie with every cell of my being
I absolutely love this movie. The theme song, the fact that howl found love in Sophie even though she was old.. the fantasy and comfort that lays in this movie is extremely amazing. I’d do anything to live in a place like theirs, it’s literally like a day dream..
Theres so much unappreciated beauty put into ghibli movies its unbelievable, from the plots to the soundtrack, everything is just so calming. It really gives you a sense of comfort and relief in a way. Ghibli movies will just always have my entire heart. Something about this particular song makes me want to cry but also fro lock in a grassy meadow plauged with flowers. Its indeed, beautiful.
This hit hard not only that your right but it sucke bc he knows what love is and everyone in the world doesn’t so we will never feel the love that sophie did 😧☹️😣
You just have to see in yourself and feel the inner beauty . Everyone has a love that resides deep inside their heart . Love doesn't has to be romantic to feel like love . And if no one give you love then you should start giving it , everything has its own beginning .Now do me a favor, stay blessed queen/king and feel the love for yourself and no other .
i really like howl’s moving castle the bottom of my heart because i just like all the things in the movie, characters, landscapes, music, the vibes of it and it comforts me so much that i want to cry, i love all the messages it’s transmitting and i’m a very stressful person so just listening to the ost relaxes me so much and everytime i’m listening to this beautiful masterpiece i’m like in another galaxy or universe i wish i could live in the movie 😫😫 (btw i’m living in alsace near to colmar the village which has inspired miyazaki for the design of the village so i’m happy jdksksjsjd) (: thanks for this video (i have an oral exam tomorrow and i am so stressed so i’m listening to it to relaxes me)
Very unpopular opinion, but I don’t think Howl’s Moving Castle is one of “the best” Ghibli films. The animation is just stunning, as well as the visuals, but to me the story seems a bit left without context. They left this movie with a few plot holes. When I read the book, a lot more made sense, even though the movie didn’t adapt everything shown in the novel. I feel like they could’ve summed up the context more, without making it seemed rush; it would’ve been much more enjoyable that way. Nonetheless, it’s still a gorgeous film with a beautiful OST. 👏
i once thought that too, but then I rewatched it for the fourth time with my mom beside me while I explained what was happening in broken viet and somehow the movie rang even deeper for me and it's now my fav ghibli film lol
the first time i watched it i was kind of confused because i didn't pay attention to so many details but the second time i watched it, i understood it a little bit better and absolutely loved it
as a massive fan of howl's moving castle, I just want to reassure you from any nervousness from posting this that this criticism is absolutely wonderful and completely necessary. we can't actually enjoy a piece of media if we all keep acting like it's perfect- we'd just be lying to ourselves. no movie is perfect. no anime, no cartoon, no book, no anything. the expectation that there will be something that was done so flawlessly is harmful in countless ways, from "needing" to mimic it to the point of stifling personal creativity and learning, to bashing people who simply didn't like it- it's all subjective. there is beauty within imperfection, and that is the potential to grow, that there can be even better. your opinion isn't just unpopular, it's often downright ignored.
Studio Ghibli movies are way to underrated, like the animation is just so gooood and the sound tracks are freaking amazing! Thank you so much for this video, I needed it :)
There’s something about this music that just creates a sense of… peace. Like… the memory of being a child in the summer. Pure happiness, pure joy. Every time I listen to this music, I just feel at peace, with all the ills of the world forgotten, if only just for a moment. A promise of an even brighter, more beautiful tomorrow.
I absolutely love howls moving castle, whenever I hear this song, it makes me feel so relaxed and like I’m in a fantasy, with the blue sky and blooming flowers nothing else.
Hayao Miyazaki (director of Howls Moving Castle) stated that he wanted to convey the message that life is worth living through Howls Moving Castle and I think this song perfectly shows this.
This song immediately makes me feel a sense of longing and sorrow, I don’t know what for, maybe happiness. It just makes me cry tears of sadness and joy.
I never heard a song like this before. I was supposed to be looking at another video but I saw this video on my recommendations and felt compelled to watch it. I will never regret that decision. This is the most dreamy, euphoric piece of music I have and ever will listen to in my lifetime.
I didn't know it was this song, I'm happy, the original version will be the wedding waltz and this will be the honeymoon, can't wait 🖤5 years yet... c':
Whoever may read this, I hope you find purpose and meaning in life, I hope you are able to cherish yourself and everything you have accomplished thus far, I hope you are able to feel the feelings that this world may offer without them consuming you, I feel so proud of you for being here and never forget that even you are lovable and worthy of love! Even if you have lost something always remember what you still have!! I wish you the greatest of happiness!
Not did i only cry about this movie but i had to watch it with someone ill never forget, despite how things ended, that person will forever be in my heart and mind. The whole movie and soundtrack reminds me of her and whenever i see or hear anything of this movie my heart stops and lots of chances are im crying or completely lost in toughts. I dont reallt know what shes up to these days but i hope shes doing good and happy.. i dont really know if its the person i miss or the memories with her. This movie is smth huge. My first ghibli movie and a huge memory to my heart.
This is my favourite movie because of many reasons. Firstly, Howl reminds me to my platonic love, the one who I'm waiting for in this life, the one with I dream and makes me fly in the sky as magic, the one who I always love since 8 years ago, the one whose puzzle piece mixs with mine perfectly, the one I want to pass my life with. That's me, feeling the same to my platonic love as Sophie does with Howl. Good afternoon everybody✨
I've met Japanese girl, and deeply fell in love with her instantly after I had no one for 6 years, she is so special, kind and beautiful to me, and gave me hope in life and love again, we've been talking, she recommended me about Japan, food, cultures also sightseeing places, and also she loves Ghibli animations, she likes Ponyo and I like Howl's moving castle because somehow she is like Sophie to me, every time I re-watch it, it makes me cry. So I want to see her again and we agreed to have a trip together in Oct this year, and I was so excited because we will go to Ghibli park! I wanted to go there with my girlfriend(if I ever had one) and I will ask her to be my girlfriend before we enter the park, but today somehow our love cannot continue for some reasons, and when I listen to Ghibli music, it hurts me more than anything, and when you bind your memories to someone, you can't unchanged it, I don't know if I go to Japan again, I'm afraid everything will remind me of her and hurts me. I wish you're happy. Because I know how life without happiness would be. I love you さや😢
Esta pelicula la vi con mi mamà, ya que ella es muy amante de ghibli. Es tan hermosa que duele pensar que esta historia que transcurre en la pelicula nunca va a pasar. Pero bueno, ahora tengo 11 años, y me sigo acordando perfectamente del momento en que la vi. Estoy feliz de que haya gente que le siga gustando
The thing I love about this song so much is that it is in *the exact* type of scene you’d think of. Frolicking through a massive field of flowers with a bright blue sky and brisk wind. It’s so perfect, and this video made it even better
