Details only a TRUE master could deliver...

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2012)

i was curious enough as it it to know martin Scorsese directing a children movie, not only is it not his genre ..at all, but why would he want do it anyway? what if he messes up? after delivering hardcore intense drama, what good can he bring from a child story? well i was glad to know martin answered it all, HUGO demanded those technical details which only an experienced master can deliver. the dramatic set pieces, those steamy London rail stations, those bustling crowds just bring in the whole experience and nails it bang on!! Those nostalgic moments of old cinema even though hard to convince to younger generation it was a touch of class when he could translate this to us in such a good fashion that even we feel the urge to have been there amongst them doing things which would later have been applauded, cherished. HUGO is more than a movie, it feels more of a movie made with interest with curiosity and urge to perfect things with its rich lifelike details.It tells us the story of a boy who loves to fix things with passion.. and told by a person who loves to tell new stories and push the boundary with that same passion. Don't miss this one, i wouldn't be shocked if HUGO eats up a major chunk of its Oscar nominations. and i really wish it all the best at it..
