Hugo

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2014)

The film Hugo released in 2011 directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Brian Selznick and the cinematography by Robert Richardson. The film main characters are Hugo (Asa Butterfield), Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley), and Isabella (Chloe Grace Moretz). Hugo (Asa Butterfield) a boy who's an orphan spends most of his time alone fixing things. Hugo lives in a train station inside of clock. One morning Hugo decides to steal from Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley) both, and gets caught in the process by Georges. Georges (Ben Kingsley) takes a notebook from Hugo (Asa Butterfield) that contains a drawing. Later that day Hugo (Asa Butterfield) follows Georges (Ben Kingsley) home where he encounters Isabella (Chloe Grace Moretz).
Hugo (Asa Butterfield) asked Isabella (Chloe Grace Moretz) to help him get his notebook from Georges (Ben Kingsley) possession. The two later develop a friendship, in the meanwhile Georges (Ben Kingsley) offers to give back the notebook to Hugo under the condition he works with him in his both. Hugo (Asa Butterfield) recognizes a piece on Isabella (Chloe Grace Moretz) necklace that looks like the right fit on the automaton. The automaton, a robot that Hugo (Asa Butterfield) and his father (Jude Law) before his death had been working on for years. Hugo (Asa Butterfield) finally receives the piece he needed from Isabella (Chloe Grace Moretz). Hugo (Asa Butterfield) thinks the robot contains a message from his father, and if he can get the automaton to work he would no longer be lonely.
The film Hugo plot and story line is similar Willy Wonka in a sense. Hugo (Asa Butterfield) needed a certain piece to get the automaton to work, which led to a wild adventure as the same in Willy Wonka. Little does Hugo (Asa Butterfield) know that the automaton is more than just your ordinary robot. The automaton you can say is the central character in the movie, because everyone had some sort of connection to it.
The film sound effect consisted of the sound of being in a train station with a lot people moving and talking. The lighting in the movie was dark and gloomy I think, because Hugo (Asa Butterfield) was alone and lonely. The automaton symbolized hope for Hugo (Asa Butterfield) and it's somewhat ironic how Georges (Ben Kinsley) started out being Hugo (Asa Butterfield) nemesis. By the end of the movie, the automaton brought Hugo (Asa Butterfield) together with Georges (Ben Kingsley), who in turn ended up providing a home and family for Hugo (Asa Butterfield).
