Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2012)

my grandfather came to this country in 1898,,i remember as a child growing up in Brooklyn ,,that he said,,if u want to learn about this country,,go to the movies..he was finished with work at 3PM,,and took me to the movies..when the expression was.."this is where I came in,,",,today all movies start at a predetermined time,,and there is no such thing as watching a film from the middle..there were 2 theaters in the neighborhood,,the BENSON ,,and the LOWES ORIENTAL,,and regardless of what was playing,,we went to both,,in no particular order,,one of the first films i recall,,was "3 men on a horse"..and "the emperor Jones..with Paul Roberson,,and that was back in the early '30's..now I'm in my 80's,,sometimes i cant recall yesterday,,but those times are still with me,,i recently saw HUGO..and am truly sorry that GRANDPA isn't around to see that film..truly an awesome film..great story for children of all ages,,and ,,i believe an Oscar winner in more than just one category,,it wins my vote for best picture of the year,,regardless,,take your kids or grandkids to this great film,,i'm adding this the day after the Oscars were awarded,,i thought surely the members that voted would see beyond the fantastic greatness of this film,,but that did not happen,,one thing i noticed was the revenue this film has earned,,way beyond its closest competition,,i can not say how long this film will still be seen,,many years from now,,i'd bet on it..it,like many b4 it will be viewed for years to come,,for example "the wizard of oz" is a good example..i neglected to thank Mr.scorsese(hope i spelt that rite)..will be rembered more for HUGO,,than any film he has made in the past or the future 4 that matter,,take your kids your grandkids or your mom and dad,,it is truly a must see film..trust me on this,,jer
