(Serious spoilers, please be careful!!!) ~Pursuiting the Dreams & Responsible For what You should Do

I stumbled upon this film by accident, and later found out that it was the Oscar nominated film, so I opened it on the weekend to see it.

As many people have said, I have been creating suspense for the first hour and a half. I mistakenly thought it was a children's fantasy film, reflecting children's pure dream world. I think if it is accompanied by 3D effects, it will definitely attract many children to watch.

The film begins with the clock running, and then, with the same shape of motion, transitions to a Parisian street scene, centered on the Arc de Triomphe, proceeding in an orderly manner, as if the clock was running its mission, of course, this I didn't understand the idea when I first read it, but I slowly understood it later.

Afterwards, the camera cuts to the station in Paris through the orderly running of the clock, accompanied by Hugo's movement, from his point of view, the small body is hidden in the big clock, and he hides on the number 4 to prying eyes Everything about the station, I always feel that the number 4 is meaningful, but I don't fully understand it.

The station in Paris, to be honest, I felt a little chaotic at first. After all, it is not easy to put the scene in a chaotic station. However, the characteristics of many people in the chaos are clearly reflected, beautiful and passionate The beautiful flower girl, the serious and stiff-legged Inspector with a hunting dog, the lady with the dog, and the fat newspaper seller with round glasses who have a crush on the lady, all have a passion for books. The deeply in love bookstore owner, then, cut to a panorama, showing other scenes from Paris Gare.

After explaining the scene, Hugo left the clock and ran to the other clock. A little mouse appeared. The owner of the toy store was debugging. His granddaughter's little girl (later turned out to be his goddaughter) talked to him and left, and Hugo finally left the clock he'd been hiding in, trying to get the toy mouse, but was caught in the pocket The parts and a booklet were taken away by the boss, which aroused the boss's attention, but he never explained who it belonged to.

Finally, the boss's roar ushered in the Inspector's pursuit. After a chaos, everything returned to normal, but Hugo followed the boss to his house. After that, Hugo, who was persuaded by the little girl to go back, finally showed his treasure—— The robot, just rusted and unwinding, also evoked his father's love for machines, but was killed in a fire, and Hugo wanted to find what his father had left him.

After thousands of twists and turns, the clockwork was actually in the little girl's hands, so when the clockwork was opened, the robot drew a picture, which was his father's favorite movie, and his eyes shone into the moon, but the name of the final sign turned out to be a toy The name of the owner of the shop, so the two children ran to the house to seek the truth, and the moment the picture hidden in the box in the high cabinet was scattered, that's brilliant, countless pictures were flying, and several were mixed into movement The picture ends with the same picture drawn by the robot, and the camera cuts to the toy store owner who is infinitely sad after seeing it.

Then he returned to the Inspector, he confessed to the girl he had a crush on, but he felt inferior for his injured leg in the war, but the girl's brother was also lost in the war, which was unexpectedly a foreshadowing.

With the help of the bookstore owner, I came to the Film Museum. The toy store owner George turned out to be a dream master, a splendid filmmaker, but he was thought to have died in the war. Then the book author's memories, accompanied by his sentence "If you are just wondered where your dreams come from ,you look around", made me understand George's sadness, pursued dreams, but was forgotten by everyone, nothing was accomplished, nothing is more uncomfortable than broken dreams, two children after knowing The dialogues of the people are also beyond the maturity of their age. They even understand better than many adults. Everyone has a mission, and if that innate mission is forgotten or broken, it will just be broken and heartbroken. But, Hugo said, this big machine-like world does not need extra parts, and if he is part of the machine then he is not superfluous, then he has meaning.

The later climax plot will not be spoiled~ Let’s go and see for yourself~

All in all, Martin Scorsese is paying tribute to all filmmakers. Whether it is the double-layered dreamland, the setting of the glass house, etc., the whole film is full of a playful British atmosphere. All the actors use the traditional British pronunciation, showing an insistence on some things, The names of Mrs. are mademoiselle and monsieur, in French, although they speak English, they have a very accent and atmosphere. Also, Hugo Xiao Zhengtai~ However, compared with the little Zhengtai who published the book, it really is that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are cute outside the cute! ! The supporting roles are also outstanding, especially the inspector! And there are many foreshadowings, super emotional!

Hugo has the courage, his duty may be to fix something, he not only repaired the robot, but also repaired George, but also helped Xiao Gu Nian find her duty~~~ Maybe, "he" wants to put every dreamer The filmmaker fixed it~

    Someone commented shortly that: Qu Gao must be a widow. Judging from the current ratings, four stars and five stars account for the vast majority. They are not married, and it can be seen that the music is not high; the old Scorsese pays tribute to the elder Merière. Feeling does not mean that it is a good work. You movie Is the filming so clichéd and pretentious, is it worthy of Meili Ai? !

    It is a love letter to the movie, but it is also a love letter to the fans. The noisy and eating brats around here probably won't understand why the uncle around him is crying.

Hugo quotes

  • Station Inspector: That's enough poetry for today.

  • Station Inspector: I love poetry, just - not in the station. We're here to either get on trains or get off them. Or, work in different shops. Is that clear?

    Isabelle: Yes, sir.

    Station Inspector: Watch your step.
