  Howl's Moving Castle 2004

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 13 Mar 2025

  Howl: This war is terrible, they bomb from the southern coast to the northern border. It's all in flames now.
  Calcifer: I can't stand the fire and gunpowder. Those dopey guys have absolutely no manners.
  Howl: My own kind attacked me today.
  Calcifer: Who? The Witch of the Wastes?
  Howl: No, some hack wizards who turned themselves into monsters for the king.
  Calcifer: Those wizards are going to regret doing that. They'll never change back into humans.
  Howl: After the war, they won't recall they ever were human.

  
  I can rewatch this film unlimited amount of times and it’s always bringing me peace.
  ✨Absolute masterpiece ✨
