Movies are dream machines

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2020)

I think this video is too beautiful and too romantic. It feels like fairy tales and strange dreams I saw in my childhood, and all the similar, strange and mysterious dreams. It is a world that seems to be true and illusory in childhood. Everything has a certain meaning. Wonderful, but confusing.
The fairy-tale fantasy of the movie is not only the fantasy brought by the sophisticated machinery and rich and beautiful colors in the picture, but also the fantasy in the character setting.
A boy who travels alone in a large and magnificent, mechanically constructed city and in the clock tower, he is like a teenager who ventures alone, exploring and surviving in a strange and strange city. He is precocious and lonely, he keeps a secret, he is persistently working hard for the common wish with his father.
The policeman patrolling the train station admires the girl who sells flowers. He reminds me of the tin soldier who lacked a leg in the Andersen fairy tale, probably because of the policeman's lame leg and the scene where he silently watched the girl.
A toy store on the street, a wonderful little toy, a magical flash in the eyes of the owner ... Merrie, who has a bad temper, was moved by his persistence after making trouble for Hugo, and set Hugo's requirements Going back to the task of the notebook, making toys, turning magic, all have fairy-tale colors.
The women who kept dogs on the street and the men who were chased and bitten by dogs did not feel unnecessary and meaningless. They are like small, moving people in a strange, strange, huge and complicated world, with their own stories. Their existence constitutes this world.
As for the opening of the mystery of the master of the toy store, which is the master of the movie, the Merrière. Although it is not logically consistent with the previous non-realistic scenes, it is very consistent in the subject matter, and I am even very moved. , Moved by the love of dreams, this film is about the exploration and creation of dreams! The robot is dreamy and mysterious, and as an excellent mechanic, Hugo is also a magician and a dream maker.
Regarding emotions, in addition to love for dreams, there are other places that touch people. At the end, the policeman grabbed Hugo and said, "A child must have a home," Hugo begged the police to let him go, and said, "I don't understand why my father is dying, why I am alone, and this is my chance, Rebirth ... "The loneliness, confusion and struggle in life made me almost cry ... Another place, Hugo told the girl that he and his father used to watch movies, To dispel my miss to my mother. At this time, Hugo only maintains contact with his father by repairing the robot ...
This film recalls the feeling I have forgotten for a long time-as a child who is full of confusion and curiosity about the world, that novelty, amazement, mystery, strangeness ... I ca n't use language very well Expressed in vain, but in vain excitement. It's love for dreams, how can I forget? Probably gradually wrapped up by the secular world.
Movies are indeed a good way to make dreams, um, decided, I have to watch more movies in the future.
