Only at 11:45 noon did we leave the school to catch Hugo at 12:25. The moment I got in the car, I started to feel uncomfortable. Taking advantage of an old man getting in the car, he quickly gave up his seat and stood up to blow the air by the way.
All kinds of troubles along the way, all kinds of private cars grab the road, all kinds of red lights, all kinds of pedestrians crossing the road indiscriminately. Swearing desperately, he rushed to the station, but it was already 12:21 at the cinema.
As soon as I entered the ticket purchase area, I was completely dumbfounded... Looking around, it was an army of parents and children who were dragging one by one, two and one with three. All the way to persuade myself to give up, the team moved forward slowly, time passed by, my willpower was worn away bit by bit, when the bayonet lined up to me, I had almost succeeded in ordering myself to give up. . Because by this time it was already 12:40, and 15 minutes had passed since the beginning of the game.
My heart has made up my mind to leave, but my legs seem to have another idea.
So, when the guide politely reached out to ask me to go forward, I rushed straight to the ticket counter. Pass your mobile phone, swipe the QR code, choose a seat, and get a ticket. He turned and left in less than fifteen seconds.
Fortunately, all I missed was only the beginning of the movie. The HUGO logo appeared on the big screen only a few minutes after I sat down, and the few people beside me exclaimed: It just started.
With determination, a voice rang in his chest: It's worth it!
I admit that at the beginning of the movie I was a little buoyant. Although I had decided to read it a long time ago, I have seen too many long and short comments on the Internet. Most people criticize the plot, and many people are picky about the soundtrack, which casts a shadow in my heart even before I watch it. This layer of shadow continuously affected me in the first ten minutes of the movie, and made me feel a little restless. At this time, the slow pace of the film seemed to make me drowsy.
Fortunately, everything started to go on the right track, and I kept asking myself in my heart: calm down! Quietness makes people good at observing, and Asha Butterfield's unexpectedly precocious acting skills fill in the gap created by the film's slightly slow rhythm at the beginning. Chloe Moretz is beautiful and dazzling...This kind of beauty is not something you can express with a still photo, even if you download the high-definition version and project it on your computer. This kind of agility and charm can penetrate the screen more than the most real 3D, and can only be felt most realistically when you are in the theater. The velvet round cap, knitted cardigan, linen skirt, cotton wool socks and playful little boots make people love and affectionate. Especially the short hair that was equal to the ears, so that Moritz's youthful vitality burst out in an instant.
The color of the movie is full and perfect, the city view of Paris is exquisite and dreamy, and the combination of holographic images and 3D is exquisite. Only after seeing Hugo did I know what 3D is. How can all the previous screens compare to this perfect depth of field? If you let go of your imagination to travel, you will have several magical experiences of falling into the world of movies and dreamlike scenes. Whether it's the sunset on the cross bridge over the Seine or the snow sculptures in the attic of the apartment, everything is so real, so real, "more like the real than the real". The ultimate moment of beauty that you can feel in the real world is perfectly and elongated in this movie.
The plot of the movie does not need to be too twisty and shocking, and the rhythm of the movie does not need to be rapid and breathtaking. Hugo is better than popcorn, cola, potato chips, and beer. It is just a cup of tea, but the mellow fragrance lingers in an endless stream. You can't feel the passage of time, and you don't know whether it is fast or slow to measure. Two hours didn’t let people give it a long-term or short-lived definition, and it just passed away, and all you need to do is to convince yourself to immerse yourself in it, don’t be too anxious, and don’t rush away from the clouds and mountains, and go Find the ending that black screen brings to you.
The most brilliant thing in Hugo is when the plot is extended step by step to the secrets brought by the robot, the scene when the movie pays tribute to many classics in film history. When the book was flipped bizarrely, and many landmark scenes of people or events in film history appeared on the screen, the film showed an epic temperament. This kind of powerful aura brought by the sense of history and retroism is incomparable to incomparable fabrications. In the theater, I stared at the screen excitedly, feeling like I was about to cry!
A dusty and forgotten story is unfolded like this. It is full of idealism, romance, imagination, and more importantly, the rich texture that history gives it. When looking at the monotonous plots, funny moves, exaggerated acting skills, crude "special effects" of the past movies on the screen, the compromising or "sound tricks" of the actors or directors who had no choice but to do so, I didn't laugh. The audience did not laugh either. Because today’s film has reached such a height and its culmination of artistry has developed from such a tiny place, it has grown from one simple idea after another, and it has been developed from one after another even today. Some naive skills accumulated qualitatively. Faced with the epics written by these artists' hard work and wisdom, who wouldn't be shocked by it? It is this kind of effort that allowed the film to develop to the height it is today in a hundred years, and today we can also see such an excellent tribute film forged with such ingenious technology, dedicated to the glory of the film history. Always salute.
The film is constantly flowing between black and white and color, like a dragonfly, but touching people's hearts. Reflect from a subtle perspective a certain detail of a film made a hundred years ago, or focus on the production of a shot and the performance of a certain theme. Thanks to the skill of Martin Scorsese, this very easy to fall into clichés and boring sections has become both retro and novel, nostalgic and new, joyful and emotional, literary and fresh. The audience entered a kaleidoscope of images of the past worthy of being nostalgic, wandering around among the colorful colors, entering the story with curiosity, and withdrawing from the joyful satisfaction, walking back again. The present tense of the protagonist of the story.
The "present tense" is magical because it is a corner of the past story expressed in the movie. When you walk into the theater and withdraw from the story in the story, it is as if you have escaped from the three-layer dream, your body and mind are full of incredible . When George Mérieux relived old dreams with everyone’s standing, applauding, and salute, when Hugo wore a neat haircut and a decent suit playing magic tricks, when the patrol was equipped with perfect mechanical legs and his beloved girl hand in hand , When two Dobermans lead a marriage, when Elizabeth smiles and turns around to write down her destined sigh in this beautiful night, you will not feel abrupt, you will not feel hypocritical, you do not You will feel contrived, you will only feel that your heart is rippling with a moving and heartfelt smile like Elizabeth, the self in your heart is also spinning such a circle like a dance step, as if sleepless, as if a dream century.
In the end, the film ended in a perfect and idealistic atmosphere, leaving the audience with plenty of space for aftertaste, as well as the beauty that was given deep in their hearts. Mérieux sighed at the hand-cranked projector that he would never forget the sound of, "Only movies can have such a happy ending" is also confirmed at this moment. But what does it matter? When I took off my dream glasses with wings and flew away, I walked slowly out of the cinema, and returned to the real world amidst the excitement and laughter of children one after another. It must be dazzling for a moment... The happy ending of the movie is deeply ingrained in my heart, and this dream is also destined to be remembered for a long time.
