Telling the history of film from a children’s perspective is definitely a creative entry point. The fantasy-style pictures also made me look forward to it very much. However, the script of "Hugo" has a series of very serious problems, leading to its children's films and camouflage. The three attributes of fantasy and fantasy conflict with each other, and the final film is really disappointing (so why did you give it 4 stars, Teacher Xiaoqi?).
As a children's film, the film should at least have a simple and clear surface story. The script does not deal with the relationship between Hugo and Mérieux at all, and it can't even be regarded as a coherent and complete story. The title is "Hugo". The first half of the story is also the process of Hugo exploring the information left by his father. However, as Mérieux’s past is revealed, Hugo gradually disappeared from the story and retreated as a clue character. In the end, it is completely reduced to the rescued object in Mérieux's storyline and the audience at the end.
The picture effect of this film is beyond doubt, and it is almost impossible to recognize the fantasy + steampunk style of the real age. But the whole film does not have any imaginative plot that matches the fantasy style. The only presentation of Mérieux’s fantasy works does not make the story itself interesting. The stuffing of irrelevant fan films in children's films is the same as the discussion of "David Copperfield" without introduction in children's films, which is a confusing operation of persuading people.
The mechanical design is also the same problem. The mechanical design is displayed in a large space in the screen, and the first few minutes are even dazzling skills without lines. But in the storyline, there are only simple walking mice, collecting a few plain gears and keys, and a completely useless notebook. In this way, the audience's expectations are greatly raised, and then the audience is completely disappointed, which makes people fall into a long-term confusion in the process of watching the movie.
Regardless of the labels of children's films, films cannot meet the viewing needs of adult audiences, and it is even difficult to meet the needs of movie fans. Each of the shortcomings of Mérieux's role in shaping Mérieux's role is clear and clear, but the reason behind it is the level that simple works are not recognized. Since Mérieux’s portrayal of art/movie/fame/entertainment spirit/values is almost absent in the film, and in the end his film was re-screened with a seemingly successful ending on stage, without letting the characters create any new ones. Value, at the end of writing, it seems that only the pursuit of fame is left. I can’t help but ask: Do his descendants have no opinion after reading it?
Personal evaluation is 6 points, 5 points for a script that is not round in the story, and the screen effect is +1 point. It can't be said to be bad, but it is a movie that is constantly looking forward to and disappointing. It is not recommended to watch.
