For the characters in anime, "the most important thing" is not money and reputation, but often a beloved person. In Hal's mobile castle, Sophie fell in love with Hal and was turned into an old lady in her 90 s by magic. She also took this opportunity to enter Hal's heart and found that he was a lonely child.
In the second half of the film, Sophie came to the starry sky in Hal's memory. The ground is covered with small white wildflowers, and meteors pass by. When Hal was a child, he ran out of a small house by the water-this is the moment when Hal opened his heart and expressed his love to Sophie. Through this beautiful picture, what the audience read is not lonely waiting, but persistent and touching love.

Behind the scenes production
This film sets the love story in the background of war, making it more touching. Although he suffered in the process of making the first two films, and accompanied by the rumor that he was about to retire, Miyazaki Hayao returned to the drawing board and started the second literary adaptation.
Similar to Princess Ghost, the movie also has a cursed protagonist. But this time it was an ordinary girl Sophie. Like Miyazaki Hayao's other works, this film has many details, but it is the least story-oriented one of his works.
