Title: Hugo
Release Date: 23 November 2011
Based on: The Invention of Hugo Cabret Novel
"Hugo" was incredible and everything that one could wish for in a film. It takes place in the 1930s in La Belle Paris, la ville de mon coeur. Hugo is a little orphan boy who lives in a train station since his father, who was an horloger, or clockmaker, died. His father left behind an automaton (a robot capable of different things) that he'd taken from a museum. Hugo spends his time trying to get the automaton to work again. Along the way, he meets a girl, and they have little adventures together. There are many small characters in the film with their own sweet stories. The whole film is a mystery, as twists and turns keep occuring.
So, yes, it was amazing. I simply adored the setting of Paris in the 30s, and my heart warmed whenever I saw tweed jackets, or spectacles, or berets... The cityscape was breathtaking, seeing snow fall on a calmer, yet equally beautiful Paris. I became reminsecent and missed it intensely. The score, done by Howard Shore (the same of Lord of the Rings) was lovely, with accordions to make it all the more Parisien.
The whole story, ahh. It was incredibly heartwarming and seriously cool. Amazing acting, with many familiar American and British actors. This was definitely one of the best films I've seen in a long while. Also, it's completely appropriate for all ages, yes, adults. I, a teenager, could not have been more pleased.
I did see it in 3D and strongly recommend doing so if able.
5 out of 5 stars, a future classic
