"Films have the power to capture dreams"
A brilliant film that only Scorsese could have adapted. A story about books, films, orphans, family, memories, clocks, and a train station. This adventure was adapted from the novel, "The Invention of Hugo Cabret". It's the story of a young, orphaned clock maker living in a train station is not a typical "Scorsese" film in terms of plot but everything you'd except in terms of quality. Each shot, actually... each frame was a piece of art. You won't only be drawn in by fabulous acting, but you'll also be whisked away by exciting cinematography and flawless camera work. John Logan's screenplay was fantastic; it's truly touching and even relatable for more than just film geeks (however, so much for the film geeks).
Hugo's plot is more than the story of an orphaned boy trying to remember his father. It's even more than an adventure. This story takes you everywhere you've always wanted to go in a film. A young boy, Hugo Cabret, has lived in a train station working the clocks ever since his father died. His father was a clock maker and passed this on to young Hugo. When he died, he was in the middle of fixing an automaton that Hugo believes carries a message for him. Whilst trying to figure this out, Hugo meets a young dreamer named Isabel. During their adventures, the two shed light on the beauty of literature and film. We see more than just the lives of this main character but everything we need to know about the security officer of the train station to the grumpy old toy maker who is trying to forget the past. Hugo really brings to life the history of filmmaking surrounding the life and films of Georges Melies as his career in illusions changed to filmmaking when he first saw a moving picture and the revival of not only his films but his love of filmmaking.
This film was flawlessly written; all the content was necessary and interesting, there was nothing left out and nothing that should have been. Every part of the film was high quality and obviously had a lot of effort put into it. All elements, especially the score, the cinematography, the screenplay, and the directing were superb. Another great thing about it, it's for the whole family! It's a wonderful thing to share a film about film and family with... family. If you haven't yet seen Hugo, SE IT. You won't regret it. I guarantee.
