Hugo Commentary

If one needs to understand game theory to understand "Beautiful Mind", then it must not be a good film.
Similarly, if one needs to know Mérieux to understand Hugo, then it must not be a good film.

The niche is right, and it is also right to give gifts to the industry's awesome predecessors, playing with photography technology and spending money to make 3D effects, as long as the director is willing to invest in the investors, we can't make any mistakes. However, when filming such a gimmicky, nonsense, niche freak with children's magical film in the mist, but also forcing the public to applaud, it would be too difficult for others?

To talk about Hugo, it is inevitable to divide the people who watch movies into three types.
One is true professionals, or they study film history or concentrate on film art, or they are well-known directors, famous actors, etc., in a broad sense, they are people in the circle.
When people in the circle watch "Hugo", they must have had an epiphany. After watching this two-hour long blockbuster, they will cherish the memory of the glorious pioneer of the film industry, Mr. Mei. Everyone, please look at me and I will see you will know. Smile.
But the fact is that even people in the circle have mixed praises and criticisms for this film. Some people reprimand it for its rigid, kitsch and cliche, and some who reprimand it for playing with photography technology and script errors. Of course, there are also people who love this film too much. The old man is an avid fan of dominating the arena for generations to come, not to mention it.

The second is that people from all walks of life from all walks of life and all walks of life have nothing to do in the cinema, and they bring girls or friends to buy popcorn. Maybe some cultures may not have any culture. Watching movies is just like a cool public. These groups are also able to make the circle. Liren become insiders, and can make directors who want to shoot blockbuster films, niche audiences, and stream-of-conscious directors to realize their own intentions, and a source of income. Parents are too.
Economics says that only when there is demand, there will be a market, and only with the masses who watch movies, will the film industry prosper.
Fools don’t understand what overlay techniques, repeated shooting, or stoppages are being filmed, and most of them don’t know the various heroes and bears that have developed in the movie. In short, the public did not know Mérieux.
So a group of people who don't know Mérieux watched "Hugo", and it really could only be the clouds and the mountains and the mist around the clouds and the unintelligible. The person who couldn't bear the loneliness left the scene halfway, and the person who persisted until the end wanted to know what this nonsense feature film wanted to say is finally satisfied with it:
Ah, it's about a director, what's the name of Mei?

After a few words out of the theater, Hugo really turned into a banana fruit in the rain. After several passes, there was no trace.
Only the thought of "watching an unintelligible bad movie" wandered through my mind and spread everywhere.

People in the circle may like it, so Hugo's show off technology is still gaining some gains, and the golden guys who have taken some skills are widely promoted.
The public probably don't like it, so I saw it and I forgot and then forgot. The few people who have been wasted a lot of time and a lot of money, such as me, will write some film reviews for future generations: this film is a huge mess , Please do not enter!

So who are the people who are cheering for this kind of niche movie on the Internet and preaching that I was wasting time and money by waiting for the ass?

That is the third type of people in the classification: literary and artistic pretenders.
The persecutors in literary and artistic costumes are a very happy group of people. Some of them are born as scumbags but want to become insiders. However, because of subjective, objective and many other reasons, they can only sink into the society and obscure the people, so they can only try to Hobbies and tastes are consistent with those in the circle. A film like "Hugo" that can only be understood by non-circle people fits their intentions. Although they may be confused when they watch it, they can't stand the development of technology. After going out of the theater and going online, Baidu knew who Mérie was from, and immediately posted a shout for Hugo. Called a niche movie into a popular classic, as if for fear that others would not know that they understood it.
This is the first category of literary and artistic pretenders: I don’t know how to pretend to understand!

It's funny if you don't know how to pretend to understand, but I can't despise people's good wishes for being high. What is even more shameful is another type of people:
they are gangsters, and they didn't intend to become insiders. However, they were afraid that others would know their identity as a fancier, so they seized all the places where they could show their uniqueness and pretended to be, and they exuded the aura of pretending that I was not a fancier all the time.
For this kind of people, "Hugo" is a good film that has never been met in a thousand years.
People who don't understand film history can't understand Di!
It's not a person in the circle, but you don't understand Di! !
If you don’t understand Didi, you have no culture! !
You can pretend if you understand it! !
So they rushed into the theater and slept for an hour, went out Baidu to do their homework and began to surf the Internet to cheer for Hugo, and the film reviews written must be full of various professional nouns and uncommon names, which are revealed between the lines. I'm not a fan, I know a lot more than a fan," he pretended to be hard-working. It's just that these people have a long history of pretending to be habitual, and their pretending skills have already reached the master level. They just wrote some articles and they looked like a lot of flowers, and they deceived many people to think about this film.
After everyone was dizzy and watched, when they looked back at the film reviews of the pretenders, they immediately felt ashamed: I turned out to be so ignorant in the study of film art, which is far worse than the author of this film review, this author. Sure enough, it's amazing~ So
far, the pretence is forced to succeed.
This is the second category of literary pretenders: they don’t know how to pretend!

However, several well-known domestic film review websites are still places where literary and artistic persecutors gather and disperse, so after everyone has written a few tricks and articles, according to the previous practice, you support me and I praise you at the same time It's easy to despise the ignorant butt who can't understand this film, and entertain himself, it is very harmonious.
It’s as if a group of people circled a plot of land and put a sign that says "Ignorant butts who don’t understand Hugo don’t come in." The group of people who really want to please are still struggling with the film. The group of people who watched Hugo have long gone to another place.
There are only a bunch of self-promotion activities that pretend to be offenders in the private plot, and everyone laughs.

PS: I admit that I don't know who Merrier is, and I also admit that I don't like this film very much. But objectively speaking: Although there is no plot, no main line, no conflicts and mess, but the picture is still good, presumably it may be better to watch 3D in the theater, so I would like to give a two-star comfort, and also draw your attention: the above is only for the public. Don’t bother if you pretend to be the people!
