Possible spoiler alert

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2011)

The trailer for Hugo was intriguing, and I expected to see an engaging adventure between 2 children and the automaton. That did indeed occur - but even better was the factor of the silent films. Earlier this year I began studying the history of film making, and that means the silent film era. When Hugo took Isabel to the silent film, my level of interest picked up. Then as the story of George came into play, I fell in love. Suddenly the story went from something nice to something so wonderful. The setting in the Paris train station,and the characters were also wonderful, and I think it must have made for some tricky editing decisions as to how much of those stories to portray. I recommend this film for anyone who delights in being whisked into a world of enchantment.
