      Hugo--The Selfishness And Narcissism Of Mérieux

      I'm not a movie fan because I'm still at the stage of watching movies that are reported in the news.

      When I saw a 3D "Avatar", I didn't leave a deep visual impression. Later, I felt that 2D and 3D made no difference to me. I was just watching the fun.

      After watching...

      Hugo--Self-portrait Of The Person Who Loves Shadows

      If it weren't for the fact that "The Artist" was too strong, I believe that this year's best director Oscar statuette would fall into the hands of old Martin again. Although the performance of "The Secret of Hugo" (2012) at this year's Oscars made old Martin a little disappointed. But from the 11 nominations for the film to the 5 technical awards awarded, the American Academy of Motion...

      Totally watch for Asha

      I really can't bear to give such a low score, I can only praise the actors, costumes, and scenes. As a bean friend said, there is no nutrition and no logic. I really feel that the story is too blunt, and the clever Asa has acted in an old fashion to match the plot. At the beginning, I also wondered whether the handsome boy and the beauty were brothers and sisters who had been separated for many years, whether Merrier was Hugo's grandfather, and regretted preventing Hugo's father and mother from...

      Tribute to Merieux

      IMDB Rating: 7.7
          This is the latest of the 20 movies I've watched. To be honest, there is nothing in the movie itself that I liked or moved too much, but if you are a true movie lover, after watching this movie, you can't forget the story in this story. Spoiler here, this is a film in which the great director Martin Scorsese pays homage to the film predecessor Georges Mérieux. I'm not too interested in the main story of the film, but at the end, when Merieux's identity was revealed and...

      make dream

      Paris, a city full of art, I must visit once in my life!
      Paris is so beautiful, the robot is so beautiful, the big clock is so beautiful, and the eyes of the little actors are especially beautiful.
      When the little boy's father lived alone after his death, the huge Paris, the splendid lights of thousands of houses, the little boy looked at the Eiffel Tower from the clock tower...isn't it, everyone must live without some sustenance or a distance!
      Movies are indeed dreams, sometimes...

      "Hugo" 3D did a great job~ I definitely love the mechanical control~ This film combines the French small and fresh romance with the Hollywood-style dream complex, the old and slightly fantasy scenes, and the color of the old film feeling Let people imagine and transcend infinitely. The whole film is very delicate, I love the way the story is told, it is quite classic, my dish, my dish! !...

    Movie plot

    The movie tells the story of the 12-year-old orphan Hugo (Asha Butterfield) who was taken care of by his uncle in Paris in the 1930s after the death of his father. His job was to maintain the 27 clocks in the railway station. Hugo lives in the high walls of the railway station, shuttles among the crowds, hides behind the big clock, observing the passing people coldly, and hiding his mind full of secrets. The only legacy left to him by...

    Positive review

    The pictures of "Hugo" are exquisite and exquisite, and the designer of the film presents a gorgeous and warm "Hugo World" to the audience. From the aspects of costume design, still life arrangement, etc., he tried his best to reproduce the Paris of the 1930s to the audience. The degree of detail was shocking. The 3D special effects of the film were well received by the audience. ( Comment by " Zhengzhou Daily ")

    Negative Evaluation

    "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...

    Movie quotes

    • Station Inspector: Demitasse, like everything else, must happen at the opportune moment. If we only knew when that moment was.

    • Station Inspector: Those are lovely posies, those.

      Lisette: Thank you. Yes, they're from Gourdon. They come in on the overnight train, so they're very fresh.

      Station Inspector: Ah, Gourdon. Splendid country, that. Robust. The weather - the cows and such mooing. Perfectly formed udders. Are they - are they - are they smelly?

    • Monsieur Labisse: The Film Academy library. You'll find all you need to know about movies there. Second level, fourth row, section three, and, yes, top shelf. "The Invention of Dreams" by Ren Tabard. The Story of the First Movies.

      Hugo Cabret: [Hugo and Isabelle find the book and start to read] "In 1895, one of the very first films ever shown was called, ' A Train Arrives in the Station', which had nothing more than a train coming into the station."

      Isabelle: "When the train came speeding toward the screen, the audience screamed, because they thought they were in danger of being run over. No one had ever seen anything like it before."
