"Hugo" reveals the obvious Martin Scorsese style of film from the subject matter to the connotation. There are too many tribute and sentimental aspects on the story level of the film. The dilapidated robot represents the traditional film culture. The train pitting reflects the first film screen of human beings. The film "Moon Journey" is the first film to be completed in a specially set up studio. There are more than 20 tributes and nostalgias implied in the film. Without sufficient cultural and professional foundations, "Hugo" has undoubtedly become a very obscure magical film.
The theme of "Hugo" is actually not about father and son love, year-end friendship, nor about the worldliness of the people in Montparnasse station, it is emphasizing the power of the film to make dreams. In the film, Hugo is the protagonist and the biggest supporting role, but this film is not made for him, but for the director himself. The worst thing is that the creator keeps a safe distance from the story, tells the story completely and truthfully, penetrates into the story and has the desire to narrate. The film pays too much tribute to the film master George Mérieux, which affects the pattern of the entire film. "Hugo" is a work with a simple plot, but there are too many conflicts between the characters and the drama, making the movie seem abrupt and strange.
