Review of "Hugo"

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2015)

"Hugo" is a historical drama set in a 1930s fantasy Paris.The two most influential characters are Hugo and Isabelle who are played by Asa Butterfield and Chloe Grace Moretz.The story is about Hugo Cabret who lives in the railway station of Gare Montparnasse.His father, a devoted master clock master dies while trying to fix one of the most complex automatons in the world which he found broken in a museum.That automaton being the only memory of his father that he has leads him into a great adventure while he's trying to fix it.The characters of Isabelle and Hugo are interesting because,coming from two different environments they have a similar view on life.For the duration of the film they go from complete strangers to great friends bonded by the love for their fathers.The special effects are absolutely spectacular and the film's soundtrack includes an Oscar- nominated original score composed by Howard Shore.Overall I think that it was a gripping and fast-moving family movie and that it's a must watch for everyone,old or young.
