Hugo and Midnight in Paris

Went to a friend's house last night to watch "Hugo" on the oversized TV. As I watched it, I kept thinking of "Midnight in Paris" I watched a few days ago. I'm going to talk about these two together.
For someone like me who doesn't have any knowledge of film history and just watched it naked without any preview, "Hugo" is obviously much more advanced than "Midnight in Paris"... Until the old man's truth was discovered, I vaguely knew that this was probably not a fantasy film It's a tribute film...how close is Midnight in Paris in comparison! How familiar the allusions are! How recognizable the characters are, even I can recognize them! After watching the film, I couldn't be more proud of myself, I was about to fall on the ground and roll around and make a "snoring" sound with a happy expression on my belly.
So what about those movie people and movie literate lovers? I guess "Hugo" should have stabbed me on the G-spot like "Midnight in Paris", and massaged them hard on the second vein of Ren and Du. And the high-end of this subject matter is also fully demonstrated, "Midnight in Paris" poked a large piece - who doesn't know Hemingway, who doesn't know Dalí, who doesn't recognize Fitzgerald. And "Hugo" pokes all the experts, and ordinary young literary and artistic young people may not be poke. Take me, for example, I prefer the scene where the first half is full of gears, and I wasn't sure if Méliès was a real person until the film was over. Apparently it didn't get hit.
What is this called? This is called exclusive, this is called VIP.


Oops, this is not what I wanted to say at first!

I want to say, it's too mindless to make a film like this.
"Midnight in Paris" is simply a simple addition from the main story line. A bunch of celebrities appear one after another, and the male protagonist becomes friends with them and is accepted as one of their wonderful souls, stupid middle-class American girlfriends Immediately it looked vulgar and vulgar. The male protagonist then calmed down. It wasn't because I was out of place, it was because of your lack of standards. The only person who was worthy of me was a beautiful French girlfriend... After the audience followed the male protagonist to appreciate the style like a marquee, they all felt the same way, and they immediately felt as if I am one of those wonderful souls.
Can you be any more entertaining?
"Hugo" is probably a little more restrained, not so naked. But just looking at the skeleton, I really didn't say anything except to pay tribute, and what I said was all commonplace, and I basically didn't think much about the script. To put it more seriously, the details and plot of the arrangement are seriously deviated from the theme, hindering understanding, some are pointing in the completely wrong direction, and some are completely unnecessary, so that while watching it several times, I feel that the theme I guessed is wrong. In the end, it turned out that it was wrong, and all the things you thought were foreshadowing in the front seem to be okay. For example, the scene setting of the clock tower gear is not necessary, so is the robot, and so is the robot repair. Even the child who repairs the robot should only be an introduction, or a pair of eyes, rather than self-generated stories and then suddenly in the last thirty. Minutes opened another world, and Jude Law's soy sauce was completely redundant... This should have nothing to do with my lack of knowledge of film history.
No wonder the Oscars only won some technical and fine arts awards.

Recently, or not recently, this kind of reminiscence of the good old days, and the good old days of Europe, is very popular in the United States. As a young literary youth with cunning tastes and lazy to study, this is of course easier to digest than another genre that piles up heroes. But isn't it the same thing? ! It's all "scrambled eggs, fried cold rice, egg fried rice, sausage egg fried rice, and more seasoning". Captain America or something is piled up, anyway, no nutrition a + no nutrition b + no nutrition c = no nutrition. And this kind of literary route is actually more worrying when you think about it carefully. Because these people who are piled up like bricks, each is very nutritious, but the final product that is mixed and fried is quite nutritious. These second-hand goods, which are thickly brushed with syrup, drained of nutrition, and re-sold, do not know if they will finally replace the original. On the contrary, these creative and wonderful souls they pay tribute to will no longer exist.
