Good movie, tripping or sober (Howls Moving Castle)

Howls Moving Castle
By: Hayao Miyazaki

I've seen a couple of his movies before, and they are such a treat. I enjoy animation, and this is the creme of the crop. Everything is beautifully hand drawn, colors are superb, character design spot on, story amazing...etc...

I've only seen his movies sober, but the next time I'm tripping there's no doubt in my mind that I'm going to throw one of his movies on and throughly enjoy it. The whimsical nature, and the child like i-dont-care-how-fake-this-is-because-i-think-its-badass nature is ideal for any sort of psychedelic. I know this probably isn't for everyone, but if you can let go and let yourself get caught up in the worlds hes created its easy to get lost.

I loved it aswell, Im always amazed by gibli's work, and the direction of myazaki. Got to be on the tops for movie making, story telling.

I dunno... When I saw it I did enjoy it, but I just feel like hes following a template for characters and plot line with this one (insert aloof character here, mute character goes here, hmm lets make him a scarecrow this time yah thats it!). Princess Mononoke was by far his crowning achievement in my book.

But howls moving castle IS good. Eye candy to say the least. Ive seen it 3 times this past week, and wouldn't mind falling asleep to it this evening.

woo!

I just ordered a set of 11 Miyazaki DVD's, since the language in them isn't too difficult its great for studying Japanese which i'm doing ATM...

I noticed they are pretty cheap when you buy them all at once like that, I think I paid something like $50 for 11 movies

If that's really what you paid, that's a great deal. He's one hell of a filmmaker.

I prefer Spirited Away myself, though i remember seeing Totoro a while ago and couldn't stop myself from enjoying watching it... At first i thought, 'this is just too childish' but after a while somehow it just grabs you...

My absolute favorite of his is definitely Princess Mononoke. I liked Spirited Away a lot, and have yet to see Howl's Moving Castle...but god damn I love Princess Mononoke. It's one of those films I can throw in anytime.

i'm with you on princess mononoke (although all studio ghibli films whet my whistle). i've actually got that box set that you've posted, kamek. or, somebody left it at my house months and months ago, and nobody knows whose it was...

I received my copy in the mail Friday.  I just took a couple tabs of some very lovely LSD and am going to be enjoying this movie within a few hours!

I always save a Miyazaki film for tripping for a first view.  The beginning of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind at the peak of a mushroom trip was hands down the funniest experience of my life.

Will let you know how it was later!  :wink:

/me bumps this thread to say I watched it last night for the first time and absolutely loved it. I'd never heard of it, but knew that it was from the creators of "Monanoke" and would probably be pretty sweet. There are some amazingly tripped out sequences. If I had any mush laying about the house I'd definitely be able to trip out on this for a bit. I will be watching this movie several times again to absorb more of the detailed animation.

Additionally... I found out that the movie "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds" is a movie I saw when I was a little little kid (3rd, 4th grade?), but never knew the title and have been wondering for YEARS what that old animated flick was. As a kid I was blown away by those bug things (Ohmu) and that flying platform the princess used. And that's about all I remember of it... can't wait to track down a copy and view it again. I'll be placing an order for it soon unless I can find it locally.

Howl's Moving Castle == :thumbup:

It's a Miyazaki film. 



How could it not be good?

Damn right.

I've actually downloaded Howls Moving Castle but haven't the time to watch it, god dammit!! I'd much rather watch it on DVD than my computer... maybe I could have a salvinorin adventure before watching it. I absolutely adore Miyazaki movies. I get that warm afterglow that you get from doing mushrooms after watching them, even sober! They're a treat. :smile:
