Hello and welcome to MovieRx, where I prescribe entertainment, one movie at a time. I'm your host, Dr Benjamin MD. What does the MD stand for? Um moving doctor? I don't know, I'm lazy about it today. Anyway, today I bring on another new guest, one whose birthday suddenly made me make sense as a middle child. Today, my guest is my little sister, Chrissy. Welcome, Chrissy.
Speaker 2:Hello.
Speaker 1:So this movie. This movie took me a while to see. Oddly, I resisted it. Despite that, it's Studio Ghibli. Today we talk about Howl's Moving Castle and a little bit of basic info about this one Studio Ghibli film released in 2004. Directed actually just completely made. Written and directed by the great and mighty Hayao Miyazaki. Stars Christian Bale, emily Mortimer and Billy Crystal of all people. That was kind of a strange one to see on here. The IMDB description on this one is tell me what you think of this one. If you think this one fits. When an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies in a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged walking castle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1:That one's a pretty good description, I guess. Really like everything Studio Ghibli, it's kind of hard not to just get it right the first time. How familiar are you with Studio Ghibli?
Speaker 2:I know a few of the movies they've made, like Ponyo and Spirited Away, are much more popular. They're the more well-known ones, right? But I think the part that most people like about it is the art style.
Speaker 1:Yes, just how it flows and moves yeah, the I think the studio ghibli kind of has its, has its signature everywhere. I mean the animation style, even everything, just from the smoke to liquids to you. You know, uh, the way that people react and and their, their expressions, and I mean all the way, all the way down to the music. Even like everything about studio Ghibli films, you watch it and you just know, and a lot of those things are the things that I kind of like to talk about. First is in, like, rather than a touchy sort of way, I like to talk about the kind of the technical stuff with the movie and like I'll go first on this one. So animation it's good. As always with Studio Ghibli films, there's not a lot of hang-ups, not a lot of goofy extra animation, you know, curly cues when people get bonked on the head and all those stupid goofy things.
Speaker 1:Music, again, is what you'd expect from a Miyazaki film, Joe Hasaishi directing the new Japanese Philharmonic. I mean, I don't know that it gets any more incredible than that for anime. And the story the story is moving, Even if it is a little kind of confusing, I think, for most American viewers. I think a lot of the time Studio Ghibli films tend to be a little bit of out of reach for some people, but even then it was still moving, even from a very simple standpoint. Voice acting, I mean Christian Bale. He only did the Batman voice once, that I remember. What are your general feelings on the movie?
Speaker 2:The animation, the scenery is very full, and that's something that I think some animation lacks is it doesn't have color and detail and negative space of just random things, so it makes the background just full.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, and Jen pointed out to me I didn't really notice it because I'm really horrible about noticing those kind of things with art, like with especially animation, the textures. There is nothing without texture in this movie. Everything from the backgrounds to the foregrounds to the people in it, I mean absolutely everything has a texture that you can almost, you almost feel like you can just imagine what, what the things feel like, and there's lots of questions, like, like you had said, with the negative space there's. There's things that like it's almost like they didn't draw anything, but your mind puts the rest of it in Um, just really really good stuff. Uh, in the art, what about the story? What? What did you kind of feel about the story?
Speaker 2:just kind of in general, the story is confusing and I'm sure that the book it is based off of a book clears a lot more of it up probably I don't care that the story makes doesn't make sense. It's. It's good. It has good characters and flows.
Speaker 1:Like you said, it moves well, and I think I think another like really cool thing to think about with it is that, especially with the way that it's animated and and kind of the, the style of the area that they're in you, you could almost imagine that this is a world where hogwarts exists, like wizards are just a thing that people know are there, but it's like but there's a few of them, um, it almost feels like an english, like an old english type of of area and everything. I mean they, they answer to a king, you know, and all this other stuff. So I mean it, it's almost like I I wonder if the book was kind of was was like another version of, like harry potter. I haven't read the book for this movie. Have you read this one?
Speaker 2:Not yet, but I want to yeah.
Speaker 1:Now on this one, I actually have a big list of characters and everything but the last couple episodes I've recorded. I've actually really just liked talking about the favorite characters, so I'll let you go first. Tell me about one of your favorite characters.
Speaker 2:Dean the dog. He's so silly the the way they animate him is. He. Is that comic relief? Yes, he's a joke of a character and I love him for it. His animation he's just like a floppy little puddle on the ground half the time and I love that about him and he, and he doesn't have to say a word.
Speaker 1:He's goofy as shit and it can be anything from just a little wolf to a course I don't know I'm. I'm a little weirded out by it. Almost looks like he has chicken feet.
Speaker 2:It does, and I love that.
Speaker 1:It's so goofy to me. I'm like ah, that's a dog with chicken feet would suddenly make me be like no, I don't like dogs anymore, but I'm glad that dogs don't actually have chicken feet. I'm just saying if I had to pick a uh, pick a very, very favorite character, I think I'd have to go with calcifer.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:He's such an interesting character. I love how how Billy Crystal brings the personality of a fire to life in a way that I didn't think that Billy Crystal could ever bring fire to life, but he sure does. Like, uh, I mean, when he gets, when he gets all roared up and angry and he starts yelling, he, he just embodies that that roaring flame. And and when he cowers and and makes that that quiet little voice as he does when he's helpless and getting ready to go out, uh, you know, there's just there's so many fun things about it that really came forward with this character and the fact that he is not only the heart of the castle as it moves, because the castle cannot move without Calcifer. If he goes out, then the castle doesn't move anymore.
Speaker 1:But we also find out later that if he goes out that could be devastating for Howl, because Howl's heart is in Calcifer. So it was just a really interesting dynamic seeing how some of those things made so much more sense, Like some of the interactions that he had with Calcifer, that Howell had with Calcifer, like especially like after his hair turned red and all of that stuff, Like some of those things were. When they kind of came together it made a lot more sense after you find out that Howell's heart is within this little fire demon, and I really enjoyed kind of the way that connections were made there. Tell me about another one of your favorites definitely sophie yeah she's nice and kind of timid.
Speaker 2:She's also very caring and just an all-around really good character. She. I love the moment when she gets really, really angry. And uh, markel, how a little helper tells a customer there's an angry witch on a rampage.
Speaker 1:And is that when she was cleaning?
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, and telling all the all the bugs and mice to you better get out of here before I bite your little heads off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that was, uh, that was a lot of fun. Uh, sophie, I, if you didn't pick Sophie as your, as your next favorite, then I definitely was. Um, there's, there's a lot of interesting things about Sophie, and some of the things I kind of want to talk about, cause I'm I'm not sure that I fully understand, and I'm wondering if maybe you do, but there's there's so many different facets to Sophie, uh. The the best about it, though, is that, from the time that she's making a hat at the very beginning of the movie, all the way to getting her job at Howell's Moving Castle is, she doesn't change at all, despite the fact that she has this horrible curse on her that turns her into an old-ass woman and everything.
Speaker 1:She doesn't change. She is the same person that she is, and she doesn't like and she just. The only thing that really changes is, that is, that she kind of like deviates off over into doing what Letty told her to do. Her sister her sister told her to, you know, find what makes her happy, and it was almost like getting cursed to be old gave her that permission to do so, which was really cool. I don't know. I just I really like, like Sophie's tenacity, just a lot of fun. Uh, hopping into the, into the points of interest here, the first one, the first one that uh that I have down is one that you had on and that was the uh, sophie's transformation, how she, how she still looks like Sophie as she ages. Tell me about that.
Speaker 2:So I think a lot of animation can kind of struggle with aging characters, making them look older, but also changing them drastically. Where you're like, are we sure? This is still the character that we're following, but Sophie still looks like Sophie and even as she slowly de-ages throughout the movie, you can still tell that Sophie, it's still her.
Speaker 1:It's really and it is kind of neat how quite a change. Right at the beginning I noticed that, uh, that especially with Studio Ghibli films, they really like to emphasize how there are certain facial features that continue growing as you get old. Most namely those are your nose and your ears. They continue growing and getting bigger as you get old, even if the rest of your body is shrinking. So that's why when you look at old people, a lot of the time they have really large ears and large noses. You remember Grandma teasing about her big old nose.
Speaker 2:Don't.
Speaker 1:You don't remember her ever doing that. She always used to say this thing to me about how she had this big old potato nose. You know old German woman with her big potato nose, you know old old German woman with with her big potato nose. But uh, but they, they really seem to emphasize that with studio Ghibli films. If you take those two things away, those massive ears and the massive nose, and you really bring it down, then yeah, you're right. I mean it really is just Sophie with a little uh, with some, with some extra wrinkles and things like that. But when her age does climb back down as the movie continues, when she starts to come back to her normal age, sort of because she still has the silver hair at the end, yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I mean her, she, she kind of comes almost back completely to herself. She, she still looks just the same and there are times in the movie where you're like wait a second, is she old? Is she old right now? Or is she not old right now, like it's? I don't know. And again, I I've got questions about that that I'm hoping maybe you can answer. The next talking point I had was Sophie going in her own direction. You know how we were just saying that she had kind of taken Leti's advice and finds her own way. That really kind of seemed like it was out of nowhere. Did that feel like it was kind of out of nowhere for you, where she just gets up and leaves town?
Speaker 2:Not really. I feel like that moment when she leaves is she feels like she doesn't have a choice, kind of like, oh, I'm old, I can't really stay here. People will be like who are you, they? It feels kind of in character for her to leave um. The main um part where I thought of of letty taking letty's advice was when soph Sophie's mom comes back the second time.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, when she comes back when they go back to the city.
Speaker 2:And her mom's like Sophie, you should come live with us. And Sophie's like I'm fine here. I feel like that would have been really out of character because her mom was her family and she's like come live with me. I feel like old sophie would have been like let's go right. New sophie's like I'm fine here.
Speaker 1:This is where I want to be yeah, well, and she really did kind of find a family. I mean, how, how even dictated this being family, uh, at one point where it was probably about the goofiest damn found family you've ever seen, because it was, uh, sophie, howell, heen, markel, uh, the witch of the waste. I mean, just like all these people that you're like wait a second, where, how, how did all of these people suddenly become a family?
Speaker 1:um, not not to mention the missing prince turnip head right, yeah, turnip head, uh, he, he shows up too, like, but I mean it just, it's such such a ragtag found family that that it feels weird, but at the same time you're like they feel like a family so but yeah, I mean, and and you could really kind of see that when she, when she started working as a cleaning lady for Howl, she really did start to just kind of own it.
Speaker 1:This is me and this is what I'm doing and this is my life and I'm enjoying every moment of it. Like I don't know, it was just really kind of neat and inspiring. Now you would put that for our next talking point you had Howl's Castle is its complex design, both inside and outside. Now I kind of feel like Howl's Castle is almost like a character of its own. I don't know if I'd use the word complex Like as dirty as Sophie insists that this thing is. On the inside it is a goddamn mess. On the outside it is so bad Like the, the the.
Speaker 1:The best thing that Sophie said about the way that this castle, this so-called castle, looks is when it shows up and she looks up. She looks up at it and she goes you call this thing a castle. Like that's not what this is, this is, this is somebody grabbed some some ball of a house and rolled it through an industrial complex and said this is a castle now and and it's great, but it still has its own character. It still has its own personality and at times it even has a face, which, I mean, that kind of took me by surprise a little bit. I didn't notice that until the last time I watched it, like when I watched it this morning. That was the first time that I noticed the face. But uh, I mean, how do you feel about the castle?
Speaker 2:well, you mentioned how the, the found family, is just a mishmash of a bunch of of different people, different backgrounds. Well, that kind of feels like the castle. Every piece of the castle is like something else. You can see bits of like wood houses in there, there's domes and like exhaust pipes, like it's just a mishmash of everything and that's just what they become.
Speaker 1:It's so cool, but I don't know. The castle almost kind of makes me a little mad too, that whole thing where, where Markle or I mean well, anybody really they go down to the front door and then they twist that little knob and then they open the door and they're wherever they want to go. Like I want that yeah.
Speaker 1:I really, really want that, because I'm I'm sick of driving cars after watching this movie. I want that. I want that, that teleportation door that takes I'm I'm sick of driving cars after watching this movie. I want that. I want that, that teleportation door that takes me to wherever I want to go.
Speaker 1:Another another talking point that I put in here was Howell's freak out. Uh, he goes absolutely bat shit crazy. Uh, christian Bale, bat shit crazy. Um, he, uh, he went. He went crazy over the fact that she messed around with his potion bottles in the shower and he comes running out as a ginger and he is just so upset by this. He ends up collapsing into a chair, putting his head in his hands and his elbows on his knees, and he just falls into despair.
Speaker 1:This is where we start to see a different side of Howell. We see that he's obsessed with being beautiful, and I think we also kind of find that our understanding of Howell is a little bit backwards, because so far, up to this point, we're led to believe by all the women that we're talking in town around Sophie at the beginning of the movie, that he only goes for beautiful women and only the most beautiful of women, that he's cold. But now we see a vulnerable side of him where we see that he's really more concerned about his beauty and that, aside from that, he's quite kind. He's not near as cold as what you're led to believe. I don't know how did you take that first vulnerable moment from hell?
Speaker 2:So the first time we see him he steps in and saves Sophie from two guards that are just kind of being a little too insistent.
Speaker 2:And he's just calm. He's just so calm and he's like where shall I be taking you in? In the most gentle and kindest voice that you've ever heard. So then, when we get to this freak out. He screams, he's running downstairs, he's in the panic. It's just, it's kind of funny to to see these two different sides. It's like a different, a different coin right, the calm side, and then the oh my god, what do I do? Why did this happen?
Speaker 1:like ah and it really seems to upset sophie quite a bit because she left the house like she left the castle at that point when, when he came down and he started freaking out and everything, if I remember, right turnip head is the one that kind of comes in and gets her to kind of go back into the house and then he's covered in that green goo. The way that I kind of interpreted the green goo is that it's kind of a it's it's almost kind of a physical representation of depression. The reason why I felt like that is because depression is kind of a slippery sort of mental health condition where it's really hard to get a handle on. It makes everything just feel heavy, distorted, sluggish, and you and everything just feels dirty.
Speaker 1:Watching this, just just the feeling that I got off of watching her try to pull him up out of that chair, carry him up the stairs which, by the way, when his towel fell off, in that expression she had, that was, that was priceless, but um, but the whole, the whole thing, just it just felt like this is depression and that is exactly what this green goo is there to represent. Did you kind of feel the same way about it, or? Or? Or did you kind of interpret that a different way?
Speaker 2:You, you make a good point with the, the representation of depression. I never thought of it like that, just heavy and almost oozing out where, where there was like a layer of protection, and then the moment it got cracked, yeah, it broke and fell apart, and so did Howl.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's. I don't know. Maybe that's something that I can get some of my listeners to comment is kind of how they interpret it the green goo. We'll see what everybody else thinks. Next we have on here is a point that you had put in Howl's room All the colors and details inside. Tell me about your interpretation of Howl's room. All the colors and details inside. Tell me about your interpretation of Howl's room.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of very shiny things very pretty and shiny and when I first saw this it's like is Howl a crow? Because crows are known for collecting shiny things. They like things that sparkle and they collect them, and this feels like what how's room is. It's just his nest, where he brings everything that he loves, the beautiful, shiny things that he wants to keep close to him there's another bird that does that, owls.
Speaker 1:That's kind of where I went. Was that? Because owls will, will hoard, like owls are like a real world version of a dragon. They go out and they find things and they hoard it and I mean the the difference is is that with owls it's it can be anything, it can be, like I mean they could find a cat bone and that'll be good enough for them, you know, to be to be treasure. But I mean it's it's kind of the same premise really. Owls and crows both collect things and keep, keep them in their den. I'm kind of glad we we were about on the same page. They're just two different out or two different birds.
Speaker 1:Um, we kind of already talked about heen, a little bit the dog, as the comic relief, especially the comic relief part, where when they were leaving the castle, when they were leaving the king's castle, and heen comes flying in with those ears. I don't know why Sophie didn't at some point just be like wait a second, you could fly this whole time. You asshole. You made me carry you up those stairs, but you could fly this whole time Like it's just, it's great. Now, this, this one was one that I was kind of actually really looking forward to getting to Um. When. Looking forward to getting to um when, when I read your notes the uh, the valley of the flowers scene you have down here that this is one of your favorite scenes for for sophie and howell.
Speaker 2:Tell me about that so how takes her here? And it's like, sophie, I want you to have this place. You could open up a flower shop you can come here to, to relax and rest, and it's, it's beautiful and it's a beautiful gift, and it feels like how being like? When I think of this valley, I almost think of you, or I do think of you. This is for the beautiful girl that I love. Kind of like, um, it almost feels like the same as beast giving bell the library oh right, yeah, yeah, well, and what a gift.
Speaker 1:I mean I don't know anything about the magic involved with it or whatever, but like she can go there whenever she wants. I don't know where that Valley exists in real life. Like I mean, is that someplace where she might run into other people, travelers or settlers or whatever, like you know whatever, but if it's untouched and it's hers alone, then wow, what a gift. That's so incredible.
Speaker 2:They didn't run into people, though, but they did see a battleship flying overhead. They did see a battleship.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do remember now that that's where they were when they saw the battleship. Oh, that could have had some bad stuff happen. Would have made the story a little bit different, though I think I'm kind of glad they left it alone.
Speaker 2:Mostly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. I guess I kind of feel like the Valley of the Flowers kind of. I feel like there's something deeper there that just went past me, like that it somehow represents Howl past me, like that it that it somehow represents howell, um, and that it it somehow represents howell and sophie's relationship. I just don't really know how, like I I wasn't able to put it together. I just I just got this general feeling about it and I couldn't really put it together. Do you, do you?
Speaker 1:have any insight on that uh, howell's past was.
Speaker 2:That was where he caught calcifer and calcifer took his heart oh right how? How gave calcifer his heart? I don't know. There's it's. It just requires a lot of thinking.
Speaker 1:It's a very yeah, there's, there's something there like I, I don't know what it is. There is something there. Maybe, maybe, if I do this podcast for 30 years, that it'll come around again and somebody will have some insight on it. But I, I, just I there's, there's something that feels like there's. There's something more important about the Valley of the Flowers there that I cannot figure out.
Speaker 1:I've seen this movie a total, a grand total, of four times since 2004. Um, the the first time, I think, was in like 2008,. I don't remember any of it from then, and so I've watched it three times in the last two weeks, uh, once in Japanese. All three times, uh, that that I've watched it. I've like there's, there's something more about this Valley of the Flowers that I'm just not seeing. If somebody has seen, seen this scene, seen the scene, uh, and and kind of figured that out, like tell me what it is, because I'm, I'm, I've been racking my brain over it for a couple of weeks now and I still can't figure it out. The next talking point you have on here is Sophie's hair, why it never changes, uh, why it never changes back to brown and instead stays silver. Talk to me about that.
Speaker 2:I feel like it represents Sophie not being able to go back to who she was. It represents her transition from the old Sophie to who she is now. She can never go back to being the same person because she's been through everything, she's lived a very different life as an old woman and she just has a different perspective now and found somebody that thinks she's beautiful and who loves her.
Speaker 1:And who makes her happy. I mean, on some level, I think that's kind of the thing that is kind of a draw for humans in general is just somebody that makes them happy, and that's really what the story is. I think Howell finds her in the beginning and she's young and she doesn't think much of herself at all. Um, and then she gets made old by the, by the witch of the waste. I think that she believes that Howell has no idea who she is. I think that Howell knows exactly who she is and he doesn't care. He just has her there with him and that makes him happy. And despite who she is, what she looks like, all of that stuff, this is still the person that he decides that he wants to have at home with him to make him happy. Then they start to break the spell. And yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1:I think that that silver hair is kind of representative of a lot of those, a lot of that self-doubt and self-loathing that she had when she was younger being gone, goes away, like the color of her hair, and what you're left with is this you know, brilliantly colored, silvered hair that almost shows like a like, that almost shows like a new Sophie, even though silver hair is usually representative of an old person. So in here we're kind of talking about the. You know, as things get towards the end here, sophie goes back to her normal, younger body, but with the silver hair, and then, as you put it, we kind of get the, the ending that everybody wants talk about that it's peaceful, they, they rebuild and the flying castle now kind of feels like they've joined the stars, which how does refer to her hair like starlight.
Speaker 2:And calcifer, I believe, is kind of a fallen star himself, as we see him fall and land in Howl's hands. But we see Calcifer there in a new fireplace, we see the Witch of the Woods sitting Markle's there, he's having fun, and then there's Sophie and Howl sitting on a balcony and then they kiss and it's just peaceful. It seems like they're enjoying life.
Speaker 1:It's almost like the twilight of life, where two people get to be the two people together and they don't have anybody to answer to, they just have the rest of their lives ahead of them. Yeah, it really is just kind of a beautiful scene. I mean, not to mention that animation and that whole ending part. Actually everything, I think really everything, from dropping the castle to make it fall apart, animation and that whole ending part. Actually everything, I think really everything from from dropping the castle to make it fall apart and then calcifer reviving a very small version of the castle, everything from that point on the rest of the movie is astounding.
Speaker 1:Animation. I couldn't imagine working on a team doing that kind of art for that much time, and how demanding that would be. Oh, not, not a job for this guy. So now, now we kind of get into active ingredient territory. Active ingredients are kind of you know, whatever, any, any part of this movie that was healing for you, that was, that was medicinal for you, that changed your perspective, changed your mind on something, made you better, uh, anything that it could even be catharsis, anything, anything about this that was medicinal for you. What was your active ingredient?
Speaker 2:probably the topic of beauty, how beauty is not always what it seems. I think society has deemed one thing to be beautiful and it's like no, everything is beautiful. There's beauty in everything and that's what sophie kind of learns is everything is beautiful, including myself. Sophie starts out being like I'm not beautiful, I don't, I don't look like what people want and stuff like that. And then Howell comes along and he's like Sophie, I love you, you're beautiful to me. And Sophie learns it really doesn't matter how I look to other people, as long as I love myself and I love the people around me who think I'm beautiful.
Speaker 1:It kind of reminds me of I did an episode on the Last Samurai. Have you ever seen that the samurai was talking to Tom Cruise and he was telling him that a perfect cherry blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your whole life looking for one and it wouldn't be a wasted life. It all came to a point where the samurai realized that all of the cherry blossoms are perfect. It gives me the same kind of flavor as that. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1:For me, uh, for me, not not quite so deep my, the active ingredient for me was, uh, I watched, I watched Sophie have a little bit of a freak out about being old, right at the beginning, right, and, and after that she just kind of seemed to accept it and go with the flow. I turned 40 this year. I've been kind of feeling my mortality a little bit like in in a really weird way, not like I don't even know that it's like midlife crisis sort of way, but like, but there there are definitely times where I start to think to myself as I'm, as I'm thinking about things that I want to do or or pursue or whatever. I think to myself that I don't have as long to do those things, as I always used to think. Watching Sophie just go with being old and that being old didn't mean you have to be miserable it kind of makes me embrace my age and think of it kind of in the way that that I can go into the second half of my life with some power in my stride. Cause she did. She definitely did Like she. She went from being a young woman to an old woman in no time and and yet she was. She was going to travel across the countryside. Nothing was going to stop her, and so that's kind of what.
Speaker 1:That's kind of what I took from it was just because I'm 40 doesn't mean that I can't learn how to do new things, that I can't learn to do those things that that I always wanted to, and that I still have plenty of time. I don't know. That's that's just kind of what I took from it. Uh, anyway, thank you, chrissy, it was great having you on. Yeah, um, do you have anything you want to plug? Any social stuff like maybe, uh, senior hamster travels?
