I'll miss you jazza

please do use this character discription in dall.e and compare the result too...❤️

Hello I think some one is impersonating you

hi jazza i was the first person to comment and someone using your name said i won a prize i dont think it was you but thought you should know

I like these kinds of videos where you make the characters as described in the book. I'm about to have watched all of them!

True….but he’s sorta funny in the movies, but i still agree that he should make dracula because then he can show the true personality of 🧛‍♂️ dracula, I solemnly agree!

The one limitation with the movies is that we have to keep the actors visually identifiable. This makes sense (every movie an actor is a marketing opportunity), but when can we predict an entire character's arc merely based on whom is playing them? Curiously, the one medium we can't *visually* see often has the most flexibility in portraying its characters. Even adaptations without actors will portray the most idealised version of the written character, a lot of the "less seemly" material left on the cutting room floor.

First dracula and right after vlad tepes

Or pre invisible invisible man

I thought of the same thing.

It couldn't have been lockhart because everyone knows that his favourite colour is lilac!

Im actually currently rereading Harry Potter and i and now on the part were they take that quiz lol

I also thought it was Lockheart!

howl has a GREEN jewel though not blue

I read the book Howl's Moving Castle before I ever saw the movie, and I always thought the movie's depiction of Howl was quite off. But to be fair, after I read about Howl's excessive vanity over his hair and realized the book was written in the 80s, I basically started picturing Howl as a blond version of Prince 🤣

Maybe Lockhart is from Wales. We just know that he’s from the UK, so he could definitely come from Welsh!

My wife is a big Studio Ghibli film fan, I got her the books to read. She said the movie had key events that were the same and similar characters, but quite a bit was different.

@@georgejones5019 Pardon me for going and writing an essay but I really like this book and literally, no one else I know will read it. The difference is really hard to explain to people who have not read the book. The movie has a semi-solid plot. I would describe the book's plot as more liquid? The book is about Sopie's personal journey to self-love but that change in mindset happens quietly while all these subplots for literally all the side characters are flying around and weaving together in interesting and unexpected but cohesive ways. Because Sophie is an unreliable narrator and it is easy to get sucked into her emotions and forget her perspective of herself and everything that is going on around her is skewed. It is only on subsequent rereadings, hindsight, and the ability to qazi self-reflect on how the emotions you resonate with are not the end all be all that you start to catch little bits of foreshadowing that registered subconsciously before making all the plot threads coming together feel impactful. It is messy and strangely both emotionally draining and cathartic. The seemingly disparate subplots shift Sophie's perception as she learns new things and deals with new people is really fascinating to watch unfold but also relies heavily on the book medium. In adapting it the focus shifted from Sophie's personal growth to romance, exploring the magic of the world, and dealing with the underlying trauma of war that made the artist and author create in the first place. A lot of the side characters were removed or several characters were condensed down to one character and their subplots were altered or dropped. Sophie and Howl both had a lot of rough edges softened so that the romance could be fast-tracked. A lot of the inner lives of the characters are displayed exclusively through visuals that are meant to be felt more than rationalized. Both book and movie have a throughline plot element that comes in and out of focus but is ultimately just the staging for the true emotional resolution. However, the throughline is changed so drastically that it feels like a completely new addition to the story. Kind of like putting new lenses in glasses. The lens adjusts the perspective and structurally it fills the same role, but at the end of the day, the lens does not matter nearly as much as what you can see with it. The book and movie have a very weird sort of emotional harmony that is informed by the plot but can never quite be captured by plot analysis. The movie is a marvel for the eyes and ears whereas the book is an emotional roller coaster and technical marvel that only gets better with every reread.

@@freshoffthehook904 Very well said.

... I have heard that a young David Bowie would have been a great pic to cast as Howl, if only because of his somewhat feminine / androgynous appearances and overall almost fantastical look to him ...

I liked him as the girl with the dragon tattoo.

Howl is actually voiced by Christian Bale, but it is pretty safe to say that as well, Tom Hanks has played A LOT of characters so I agree with you 🙂

I thought it was going to be forest gump! So not far

Wtf I've just seen the last one! I am shocked

I'd love for him to have to draw a bunch of characters but he doesn't know they're all played by the same actor!

They took a lot of creative liberties with the story itself too 😅. I read the book as a kid so the movie kinda upset me because they deviated so much.

Yeah I got Howl thirst trapped

@@LlTTLEMlNNOW Same, I was so sad when I saw that they got rid of Sophie and Howl’s original personalities, they were such funny characters! They also replaced poor Michael with that kid for some reason! I understand why they changed the characters so much though, it probably wouldn’t fit with the more serious tone of their story, and the original storyline was probably a bit too chaotic for them to turn into a movie

@@Everythingbagel196 yeah, the book would probably work well in an anime or smt. The plot is just too much to put into one film with her sisters, love, the seven league boots, war, Michael, much more magic and so on.

perv

Really? I thought it gave Bill Murray vibes. Funny how we all react differently

Yeah me too!

@@thejmax I also thought young Bill Murray

@@existentialgamer9206 yeah right, like Groundhog day era.

@@thejmax I actually got Bill Murray AND a bit of Tom Hanks. They have subtle similarities irl too.

It's getting kind of obnoxiuous. But at least he's consistent

Same

Same

Mhhhmmm😅😅……….yup totally yup heh………..llgreat right? 😂

I'd love this

Lavender and Jazza are the two artists I subscribe to! I'd love to see them collab!

Same! What really tipped me of was the eyes like marbles. That description of Howl’s eyes has stuck with me & I still remember it even if it’s been almost 20 years since I read the books last.

My memory is that Sophie cuts up the blue and silver suit into triangles/diamonds(?) and then has to sew him a new one from the pieces. Unless that was his other suit? But because of that the pattern I picture is triangles or diamonds rather than swirls. Too bad they didn’t include more details about the clothes in the description

@@talesfromnowhere9914 Yes! It was triangles, and it was the blue and silver suit. Her sewing made it too small, and so Michael used an enlarging spell to make it bigger, which made it too big.

@@ceilinh6004 Right! Spoiler: And so it was the other suit (scarlet and grey) that she accidentally enchants. It’s been awhile since my last reread…

I thought the same thing!

Haha…. I was thinking Bill Murray or young Robin Williams!

Same

Yes, I always thought it might be Ghostbusters :D But the lacking personality kind of fits... those Dan Brown characters are kind of characterless

​@@stirrednotshaken4837 yea I saw Robin too haha

It’s a amazing read and so well written.

I feel like Diana Wynne Jones is one of the few authors I've encountered who truly does a bang-up job of having flawed protagonists that are actually sometimes quite unlikeable when first introduced, and yet successfully engaging us with them straight away, even before they start their journey towards character improvement...? Charmain Baker in the 3rd book in the series (House of Many Ways) is even more that type than Howl was, although she changes a lot more over the course of the novel. DWJ is also one of those authors (along with Lois McMaster Buhold) whose books never fail to repay re-reading. It frustrates me enormously that J.K. Rowling's works are so much more lauded and well-known than hers, even though to my mind they're FAR more derivative and banal. (To say nothing of the authors themselves & their respective attitudes...)

I love the book version, I feel the movie version started off ok but by the end wad muddied and a bit confusing.

I always interpreted him as being a natural blond who likes dyeing his hair ostentatious colors...

@@SpringStarFangirl Same. He's Welsh, and so I always pictured him as naturally fair.

@@ceilinh6004 Calcifer mentions that Howl's hair is naturally brown IIRC

I mean... he was pretty darn romanticized in the book, that's kind of one of the major plot points of the story is that he's attractive. The Ghibli film just made him an anime character, because it's an anime film.

The moment they said wasp tattoo I knew it was her haha, if you read the books you know that is more significant than the dragon one

Fr just with the promps I was thinking of her

Howl is from 80s Wales, so modern-ish suit makes sense.

From what I remember reading, Howl's hair is naturally "mud brown."

That's the impression that description gave me as well

Out of curiosity: Why these ones? I think the book and the movies match pretty well in their case. I'd be more interested personally in seeing Gollum (whose book and movie looks are pretty different), or Sauron. Or perhaps Denethor and Frodo (the two characters that the movies did the worst job with, in my personal opinion)

@@MaxMustermann-hy9in Boromir is extremely different

Yaaas I'd love to see that

Given he is from Wales in the 1980s, and is frankly a bit of an obnoxious character (at least minus his heart), I would 1000% go for Howl having a mullet!! 🤣 That's hilarious...

I never heard that theory, but I love it x3

I honestly didn't enjoy the book, sadly. But that's probably because I saw the movie first and love it, and the book is so much different. Same with Stardust. Love the movie, don't care for the book.

i hope you watched the original one, and not the shitty hollywood remake of "the girl with the dragon tattoo" x_X

ooh I also thought of Luther first! There are so many details that are vaguely Umbrella Academy related - the 1960s, monkeys, big tall man in space? But the timeline doesn't add up and Luther was in space alone :')

Same hahaha love the movie tho I haven’t read the books yet

I also guessed that it was the girl, such a cool and recognizable theme and appearance

I didnt know by the discription. Ik saw the final piece and screamed thats a shit tom hanks from the daVinci code😂

Wouldn’t have guessed that at all. I’m not surprised I got Lisbeth even though it’s been a while since I read the book.

Same. But for for me it was the combo with middle-aged and Swimmer’s physique. I still can’t believe they picked Tom Hanks for that role.

@@themurrrr its about his acting not the physique + every big movie from around that time had him

@@themurrrrExactly, Tom Hanks was such a bad fit. Love him as an actor, but he is not even close to the character described in the book. Also got it from the description then second cmguessed myself because he seemed so unlikely as a choice for someone to guess from the description. Guess I was wrong lol.

No, its like painting Sauron and saying "That's The Lord of the Rings" Lisbeth is literally the girl with the dragon tattoo.

@@carbon1255 Still wrong.

@@NostalgiNorden How is it wrong? It's a literal description of the character. The title is about Lisbeth. He could have said it's the girl in the spider web, too. The title of the lord of the rings isn't about Frodo.

The title for the English version you mean, because the original, also in other languages, is Men who hate women.

@@Xiroi87 I think that just reinforces the point. He didn't say "it's the man who hates women" because that's not referring to Lisbeth.

3 am for me

At 100am for me too

12 AM for me lol

12 am for me

Same bro

yea

some people have cooled toned skin though but not everyone

@@edit6588 its not the warmth so much as the saturation, it looks ashy

I was just going to guess her! I haven't read the books but it just felt like her from the description alone.

Made the comment, then checked if it happened to someone else! I totally agree, felt crazy

Before he colored it I thought it looked like Bill Murray.

One of my favorite lines 😂

I wholly agree!!!

Me too but I thought she was small?

She is, her hight is 150 cm (4’11)

I knew it cause of the wasp tattoo. But I didnt guess another one right

Except, he doesn't do that.
