Hugo - Go and dream with Martin Scorsese!!
Hugo – the latest movie by Martin Scorsese brought us the magical cinematic experience that we first felt when we had just begun understanding what movies were all about and the insatiable happiness that followed. This work by Scorsese is his first attempt at 3 D and saying that Hugo's very good is a gross understatement. Exceptional cinematography, marvelous acting, dynamic screenplay and the maximum Oscar nominations (11) do explain just a fleck about the preeminence of Hugo. Hugo in fact won 5 of them.
Set in 1930s, Hugo's inspired by the life of a French illusionist and filmmaker Georges Méliès played by Sir Ben Kingsley. The main protagonist is Hugo played by 14 year old Asa Butterfield who awed people with his brilliance in the holocaust movie The Boy in the striped pyjamas. Hugo also boasts off a highly noteworthy supporting cast including Sir Christopher Lee, Sacha Baron Cohen, Chloe Moretz , Emily Mortimer and Jude Law. Scorsese draws emotions from situations and not just characters and Butterfield and Kingsley did more than justice to their characters. Sacha as a shy and conscientious station master stood out as well.
Without spoiling the essence and rich freshness of the movie, Hugo's an incredibly lovely work of art to be enjoyed by everyone. If you want to fall in love with movies once again, Hugo may not be such a bad idea. Its a 9 for me.
