beautiful movie but simple story!

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2015)

Just finished watching! Well, it was worth watching it. Actually, I didn't know the story or watch any trailer before watching this movie. I was amazed how gorgeous of the visual effects, cinematography, art direction. The authentic train station really stands out in this movie. Yet, a simple story and a bit of boring. I guess because I fell asleep after 1 hour watching it. I thought it would be an fantasy adventure of a young boy, but just only about his realistic life living in the walls of a train station. However, I was really satisfied with the remaining 30 minutes of the movie. It was really touching when narrating the life of a magician, a director, an actor George Méliès. His dedication to the development in the earliest day of cinema was really amazing. I will dig more about his film afterward. Anyway, how fascinating of the train station will be in my memory forever!
