The beginning of a section can be called a long, small Hugo's amazingly clear blue eyes, among the huge rotating gears on the clock tower of Paris Central Station, through the back of the clock, through a certain number frame, the station in the station People come and go, and see the Eiffel Tower in the distance surrounded by the city, with a dazzling and firm light.
A child who was suddenly orphaned because of the fact that his dependent father was caught in a fire. He has a good appearance and a strong heart. Following the uncle drunkard, he undertook the work of maintaining the interior of the big clock tower, and as always after his uncle disappeared. But the focus of his life is to find a way to "accumulate" all kinds of parts, repair a robot left by his father, a rusty robot that can write and was rescued from a museum by a father who is proficient in machinery. Therefore, George, the owner of a small toy shop in the station, angrily caught Hugo after being "stolen" for a long time, and detained Hugo for repairing the notebook he thought he relied on.
So Hugo, in order to retrieve the notebook and repair the robot, hoping to learn about the message left by his father, reluctantly followed George back to the door, or waited at the door of the store, with only one sentence, "I want to get my notebook back.” Then I met George’s goddaughter Isabella, who became Hugo’s partner because of her willingness to explore secrets, thinking about the possibility of returning the notebook together.
At this point, I can see the context clearly, but again at a loss. In old Paris more than half a century ago, the café’s atmosphere is elegant, the cold and stiff inspectors in the station happily catch orphans, but when they look back, they are a foot away from the beloved flower girl because of the disabled leg. The embarrassment and hesitation ceased. The old artists who are stationed in performing arts have a cautious and mimosa-like emotional contact with the old lady who is a regular customer of the cafe.
It is said that it is a children's story, and it seems that there is more sadness and sorrow. Hugo is like another David Copperfield or an orphan in the fog; it is an adult story, but it is filled with the children's cunning and perseverance. Vigor, get rid of evil calculations.
When the name of Georges Mérieux appeared with the war, he finally understood that this is another movie about the movie, a movie about the trauma of war, and a movie about how art and dreams are frozen by reality, and how they are A movie that plays an important role in the salvation of humanity. It seems that Hugo is looking for the message left by his father so the motivation to fix the robot is a simple main line, but when Mérieux’s old film movies are solemnly revisited on the 21st century screen, it involves the development of the tangled and tactful complex in the station. , A simple story, involuntarily enriched and three-dimensional.
The war is exhausting, devastated, and pale and weak. It doesn't matter whether the journey of dreams and souls is still necessary. Mérieux, who was born as a magician, is a landmark character in the history of film. Those colorful, imaginative, full of vitality and tension, full of magic charm, and silent movies that make people dare to touch their dream shape have entertained a generation. After his youth, he was thrown into the trash heap of dark history by the aftereffects of the cruel war.
Fortunately, they still exist in the memories and collections of many people. Fortunately, they belong to the category of movies that can have happy ending in the story, so they have the possibility of recovering from the garbage dump.
Therefore, people who want pure entertainment may not think this is such a beautiful and interesting story. But people who want to give up the dreams brought about by tradition because of nostalgia, persistence, and modern technology, who need emotional resonance, will calmly feel the throbbing of the soul "rolling in the deep".
Just like this happy ending that follows the convention, Hugo is no longer an orphan by George’s adoption. Isabella is pleased to watch Hugo do magic while preparing to record this somewhat tortuous story. The grandfather and grandmother finally Sitting together drinking coffee, the inspector used the new prosthesis designed by Hugo, stood briskly with the flower girl, and gradually learned to turn a smile into a habit, no matter how heavy, dark and inhumane the world is, it’s because of human nature. His soft recovery, perseverance in pursuit, and eternal love for beautiful dreams are at least worth looking forward to.
