Synopsis:

Eighteen-year-old Sophie, who runs her late father's hat shop, has a chance encounter with the mysterious wizard Howl who takes a liking to her. The meeting attracts the attention of the Witch of the Waste, who has been seeking Howl's love for her own, and the Witch places a curse on Sophie, turning her into a 90-year-old woman with the inability to tell anyone about the curse. Sophie decides to seek out Howl in the Wastes, encountering and befriending an animated scarecrow she names Turnip Head. They eventually come across Howl's moving castle; inside, Sophie is greeted by the fire demon Calcifer that powers the castle and recognizes that Sophie has been cursed. Calcifer offers to break the curse in exchange if Sophie can break the bond between Howl and Calcifer. When Howl arrives, Calcifer covers for Sophie, claiming she is a housekeeper to keep the castle clean. As Sophie adjusts to life in the castle, she discovers that the front door is a magic portal that leads to several destinations. She also comes to learn that Howl is vain and immature, and that the Witch of the Waste's vengeful behavior was due to how Howl treated her in the past once he discovered her ugly appearance.

One day, Howl receives summons from two feuding nations, Porthaven and Kingsbury, each seeking his help under different aliases to fight in their war caused by the disappearance of Crown Prince Justin. Howl refuses to fight and suspects a trap by Kingsbury's Madame Suliman, his old mentor, and instead sends Sophie acting as his mother to respond to the summons. Along the way, Sophie encounters the Witch of the Wastes, and both are taken to the Madame. Madame Suliman is able to see through the ruse, and to show her power to Sophie, transforms the Witch into a helpless old lady, promising that Howl will meet a similar fate if he does not contribute to the war cause. When Sophie tells Madame Suliman that Howl isn't cowardly she briefly turns back into her old self, but is turned back into a old woman again by some of Madame Suliman's words. Howl manages to rescue Sophie along with the Witch and Suliman's asthmatic errand dog Heen, but not before Suliman is able to determine Sophie's true identity and begins to track her down, knowing she can get to Howl that way.

Sophie learns from seeing Howl's dreams and from Calcifer that Howl transforms into a bird-like creature to escape his pursuers but each transformation makes it more difficult for him to return to his human form. However, Sophie's love and caring for Howl and the others in the castle have helped her to partially revert the curse that the Witch placed on her, and Howl has returned the favor by transforming the castle into a more beautiful version, including adding Sophie's hat shop as an exit from the front door. Sophie's mother Honey visits her one day, but Sophie discovers that Honey was blackmailed by Suliman, leaving a spy bug behind in the castle that has allowed Suliman to find its location and send her troops to capture Howl. As Howl transforms to draw the guards away, Sophie and Calcifer bring the castle to the Wastes though Calcifer's power is rapidly diminishing. The Witch of the Waste, seeing Howl's heart underneath Calcifer, attempts to grab it and burns herself; Sophie is forced to douse her with water but catches Calcifer in her motions, causing him to be reduced to a small flame and unable to retain control of the castle. Sophie and the others are thrown over a cliff as the castle falls to pieces around them.

Sophie recovers to find the remains of the front door in the castle's wreckage, and walks through it, finding herself in the past. She learns that Calcifer was really a falling star found by Howl, and to save Calcifer's life, Howl gave his heart to the spirit, causing him to lose the ability to love. Sophie returns to the present and finds Howl unconscious with the others. She takes Howl's heart from the Witch and puts it back in his chest, causing the bond between Howl and Calcifer to be broken; Calcifer returns to his original form and shoots off into the stars, however, this causes the remains of the castle to fall onto them. Turnip Head manages to stop the wreckage from harming anyone, and Sophie gives him a kiss, causing him to transform into his original form, the missing Prince Justin. The Prince thanks Sophie for breaking a curse that could only be broken by his true love, but Sophie reveals that she truly is in love with Howl, and kisses him. This causes Sophie's own curse to be broken, returning her to her youthful self. Prince Justin accepts Sophie's choice, and makes way to report his presence and put an end to the war. Madame Suliman, who has watched the events through the eyes of Heen, recognizes that the Prince has returned and calls a cease-fire. Howl constructs another flying magical castle for Sophie and their friends, powered by Calcifer who has returned under his own will to help Howl, and Sophie and Howl begin a romantic relationship.

◆劇情:戰火中的愛情◆
  
 宮崎駿的《千與千尋》曾經在日本創造了2340萬人次的最高上座率,更獲得了美國奧斯卡獎和柏林金熊獎,在全世界範圍內掀起了一股觀看熱潮。

 時隔三年後,宮崎駿又推出了最新作品《哈爾的移動城堡》,故事發生在19世紀末的歐洲,善良可愛的蘇菲被惡毒的女巫施下魔咒,從18歲的女孩變成90歲的婆婆,孤單無助的她無意中走入鎮外的移動城堡,據說它的主人哈爾以吸取女孩的靈魂為樂,但是事情並沒有人們傳說的那麽可怕,性情古怪的哈爾居然收留了蘇菲,兩個人在四腳的移動城堡中開始了奇妙的共同生活,一段交織了愛與痛、樂與悲的愛情故事在戰火中悄悄展開……

◆詳解18婆婆的緣起情動◆

 去年就聽說日本動漫界又有大動向,三大巨頭宮崎駿、大友克洋和押井守都將推出新作品,分別是《哈爾的移動城堡》、《蒸汽男孩》和《攻殼機動隊2:無罪》,其中《蒸汽男孩》至今還沒有任何有見地的評論,而對押井守的《攻殼機動隊2:無罪》評價又以華而不實的居多,既然宮崎駿的《哈爾的移動城堡》有幸參加今年威尼斯影展,自然備受關注:

 ○蘇菲的家庭背景:蘇菲和繼母、兩個姐姐居住在一個頗有歐洲風情的小鎮,繼母凡妮依靠制帽的薪水養活一家人,自從女孩們的父親去世後凡妮無以為繼,只好把兩個年長的女兒安排到制帽店當學徒,蘇菲的兩個姐姐萊特和瑪莎各有所好,一個甯願學習包羅萬象的巫術,另一個更希望成為一名面包師。她們很快離開這家商店,而一直在旁打下手的小蘇菲反倒堅持下來,盡管蘇菲也對自己的生活不滿,但她仍希望自己制作的每一頂帽子都能令顧客滿意。

 ○哈爾的可怕傳說:一座移動的城堡漫無目的地從一個地方移動到另一個地方,最近偏偏在小鎮附近落腳,人們傳說城堡中的邪惡巫師哈爾專門擄掠年青姑娘,然後吸取她們的靈魂,有時甚至還會吃掉姑娘的心。因此,鎮民告誡姑娘們遠離城堡,避免落入哈爾的魔掌。

 ○女巫的惡毒心腸:人的忌妒心是最可怕的,蘇菲的制帽手藝相當精湛,這引起了一個巫婆的嫉妒,她利用一種獨特的咒語,把蘇菲變成了老太婆,而蘇菲還不能對任何人透露咒語內容,她索性逃離小鎮。

 ○命中注定的相遇:蘇菲蒼老又虛弱,艱難地向小鎮外走去,夜幕加重了她的負擔,由于無法到達另一個城鎮,她壯起膽子走向可怕的移動城堡。恰巧哈爾本人不在家,學徒邁克爾也滿臉無奈,蘇菲不僅成功地進入城堡,還理直氣壯地在城堡中過夜。現在的年齡給了蘇菲勇氣,住下來的她以女管家自居,開始打點城堡的一切。傳說中的哈爾回來後,發現堡內變得一塵不染,也只好放任她去住下去。

 ○誰會來打破咒語:城堡的動力火焰由一個叫卡西佛的火焰魔掌管,他也和蘇菲一樣身受咒語不能聲張,于是二人達成協議互相幫助發現各自的咒語。而蘇菲開始逐漸了解古怪的哈爾,哈爾冰冷的心也被慢慢融化,兩個年齡極不相符的人越走越近。

◆漂流域仙境的四大突破◆

 ①下魚上城:宮崎駿以前的作品從來沒有對機械做過太多複雜設計,而移動城堡的“下魚上城”的設計大體上也可以歸類于空中樓閣,從設定中隱約透出《天空之城》中空中堡壘拉普達的幾分影子,再加上鋼鐵、煙囪、滑輪和桅杆,也算是宮崎駿絕無僅有的一次新穎嘗試。

 ②女孩大了:宮崎駿向來鍾愛女孩作為動畫片的主角,這部《哈爾的移動城堡》也不例外,不過為了忠于同名小說的人物背景設定,蘇菲比他所有動畫片中的女孩都偏大了一點。

 ③采用3D:這部動畫片的“外景地”歐式風味比較濃,背景很像1989年的《魔女宅急便》,風格則是“《風之谷》+《天空之城》”的結合體,宮崎駿本人也決定在城堡的移動中采用3D技術。

 ④魔幻題材:除了秉承宮崎駿的一貫風格外,《哈爾的移動城堡》與他以往的原創不同,題材正好切合時下非常流行的魔幻潮流,故事主題相對來說更加具體。
