At last for quite a while now a movie has finally inspired me to write a full review again. I just couldn't let all the positive thoughts about this film pass me by without sharing it. I'm talking about a splendid creation of a movie legend Martin Scorsese called Hugo. Unlike his other movies, Scorsese took another path of making magic in film creation and he did it with dashing style, something panache as the word even uttered in the movie itself.
The story centers on a little boy Hugo Cabret (starred by Asa Butterfield) as he finds the message of his deceased father (Jude Law) from a broken automaton. He spends his day searching for the missing piece of the machine while winding the clocks on the train station where he lives and met Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz), the granddaughter of a toy shop owner George Milies (Ben Kingsley). Hugo and Isabelle soon discovered something extraordinary that lead to his father's work.
Besides the mystery of the automaton, the movie features another great piece of work that made the whole thing more than a masterpiece. It's the story of a person behind the acclaimed 1902 film A Trip To The Moon which I actually watched several months ago. I appreciate the classic film more after watching this movie and made me admire Scorsese even more. Everything in this film will really linger, each character even the small ones will be remembered as it served its purpose, big or small just like what the whole message of the film is all about. Just what Isabelle said in the film "Thank you for the movie today, it was a gift", Hugo is a precious gift that we always be thankful of, and for hundred of years the magic of this film will always remain.
