Hugo

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2014)

An absolutely fabulous tale of a boy who is lost and finds his way. Hugo lives in a train station and does not quite fit in. He has the gift of tinkering with mechanical objects and is driven to find out what will make a certain mechanical robot work. This was one that was passed from his father and serves as a link to the past. Hugo is now without his detractors as the Station Inspector are bound to rid him of this underground world. The set design is amazing and the special effects will sure to wow you. It also teaches you something more about Melies, and how he became famous. The aspect of Hugo that touched me the most was his curiosity and how he tried so hard to achieve his goal: understand who Melies was This is also one of the first movies in which Scorsese deal with a happy ending and this is strange because usually he always puts in an unexpected conclusion, maybe also sad.
