Hugo - 8/10

The 3D special effects of this film are great, giving people a dreamlike illusion. I really like the art direction of this film. The two young actors are quite satisfactory, mainly watching Ben Kingsley. Jiang is still getting hotter as he gets older. His perfect performance pays homage to Georges Méliès (the two are also very similar). I personally think it's a movie about Georges Méliès, the character of Hugo doesn't feel that prominent, and I don't know why. Although the rhythm of this film is a little slow, this is also Martin Scorsese's consistent style. The old man's films in the past two years have a lot of novel content. He doesn't play gangsters and plays literature and art. The results are just as wonderful and talented!

Isabelle: Papa Georges isn't my grandfather. And he isn't a thief. You're the thief. You're nothing but a - a reprobate.
