Howls Moving Castle
Howls's Moving Castle is a 2004 Japanese anime, released by Walt Disney Productions in both the original language Japanese and in an English version. Written and produced by Hayao Miyazaki, staring Christian Bale, Jean Simmons and Josh Hutcherson.

The movie. Is about a young girl named Sophie who is cursed and transformed into an old lady by the evil Witch of the Waste. Sophie runs away and seeks shelter in a moving castle that is home to a mysterious wizard named Howl, a little wizard in training and guard of the four way door named Markl and a fire demon named Calcifer. They set off in an adventure in a war bound place full of dangers, to break the spells that have been cast on them, fighting Madam Suliman's blob men all the way.

The use of camera angles is good, it shows the brave and the strong by looking up at them making them look heroic and mighty. It looks down on people making them look shy or scared. The angles help to set the mood in the scene.

The colours help to show social class, with bright, strong colours showing royalty and riches, while dull and boring colours show the poor or lower class.

I believe the main messages in Howl's Moving Castle are that everyone is different and no matter how evil or good or poor or rich someone may be everyone should be treated equally no matter what.
I think the movie shows a strong sense of family, it shows you don't have to be blood to be a family or to love someone as family.

I would recommend Howl's Moving Castle to families, teens and children. It is a great love filled movie and gives a great sense of family and love. This movie is great for anyone, I really enjoyed

    One of the themes for the movie, A River Runs Through It, deals with the affection in a family. In my opinion, it shows we should watch out for our loved ones. When things go wrong we should help and support our family members. I notice it was something that brought the minister and his two sons together. The two brothers learned as young boys that their father was worthy of respect and could teach them many things, not just about fishing, but about life as well. The movie shows Norman looking out for his brother, Paul, and he tries to keep him away from trouble. The two boys grew up loving to fly fish and the information they received when they were young helped them become better at fishing and also better in…

    In the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, the kids enter the candy room. In that scene, Burton shows different high angles of the setting which creates mood and tone because it shows the beautiful scenery of all the delicious candy in the room. Another example is in the movie “Edward Scissorhands”, Burton uses an eye level camera angle to show the feelings of different characters, such as Kim and Edward. He uses closeups to show their facial expression so you can tell how they are feelings.…

    Color is one of the important elements to design costumes. Color does not only reflect the emotion, feeling, and mood, but it also is symbolic of social status. The porters have two kinds of suit uniform, which are white and blue navy. Each color represents different duties. Sister Juba’s dresses are very bright and colorful such as red, green, bright grey, orange, etc. From dresses’ color, we can tell that she has a lot of emotions during the play. Meanwhile the band attires are colorful but the colors are much somber than those of the Sister Juba. Lutie Duggernut, the homeless girl, wears a very gloomy brown and white. In these cases, the color does not reflect the mood of the character. Thus, the gloomy colors tell us about the social stratum. The duller the color, the lower the social stratum because dull color can make the fabrics look fairly old.…

    Swing Kids Movie Analysis

    The 1993 drama “Swing Kids” starring Robert Sean Leonard and Christian Bale is overall a very good movie. The film is set in Nazi ruled Germany in the year 1939 and tells the incredible story of three boys and their love and fight for swing music. Swing Kids is a remarkable display of directing and acting talent. Thomas Carter's eye for camera technique lends the feeling of actually being alongside the characters throughout their struggle. From the moment the movie began with a remarkable dance sequence, to possibly one of the most dramatic and heart wrenching final scenes in movie history, I was unable to take my eyes away from the screen. The emotions that Swing Kids delivers to the viewers range from happiness and excitement, to anger and sadness. I highly encourage all that have a passion for good film to sit back, relax, and enjoy “Swing Kids”. I give Swing Kids two thumbs up, and a 9/10.…

    He got to prove, not only to his dad and family, but to himself. He finally received what he thought the good end of the deal was. I personally loved this movie. I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…

    This movie took me back when I was still a young man, trying to find my individuality. I remember comparing my father with people I admired. Although I hate to admit it I wanted to be more like those people than like my father just like C wanted to be like Sunny. Today I am a father myself and certainly don't want to see my kid hanging around with another person trying to take my place as a father, especially if this person is doing bad stuff ; just like Lorenzo tried to keep C away from Sunny.…

    Because of the camera framing, the viewer can identify the main characters. The use of close up shots draws attention and focuses on the characters to show their expression and emotion. The use of low angled long shots gives a sense of drama and tension. Also, the body language of the characters helps communicate with the audience in addition to their speech.…
