I was watching this movie for sometime by
parts until watched it quite last night; I totally impressed by the way it filmed even I find it initially boring
as it moves slowly, the cinematography
kept me appreciating and inspiring to watch it fully. Adapted from the novel
title ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’ the movie is a 3D historical adventure
drama winning a bunch of Oscars and directed by Martin Scorsese. I really wonder
how fantastic would it be watching through big screen wearing 3D glasses. I
hadn’t got the opportunity to watch it while it released last year.
Asa Butterfield, who plays the title role
of Hugo, was mesmerizing through his acting as a boy living on the clock tower
of Paris railway station and maintaining it secretly while seeking to fit his
father’s automation which he believes to write a message. During his continues
process of stealing parts to mend the automation, results in discovering the
concealed life of very famous illusionist and filmmaker Georges Melies and his
way of moviemaking and all makes us upright and fascinate.
The movie brings the whole set of old
Paris railway station – Gare Montparnasse, alive and the clock tower and sight
of Paris were amazing and the train crash was a great piece on the incident of
past. Asa Butterfield eyes were grasping at lot than his conversation and
motion, each one of them presents their course of acting very well and Ben
Kingsley as the masterful Georges Melies is not challenging for the actor who
lived as a Gandhi on the film titled the same.
The film also reveals the innovation in
creating special effects on movies when there are no more advanced technology
and birth of computers.... the manual techniques of those days are awesome and
challenging. The Hugo somehow reminds me the polar express and technically the
movie beholds wonder with great visual treat and sounds to listen!
Hugo is one of a best innovation and use
of technology.
A great film.

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this ...
ReplyDeleteA treat to eyes.
ReplyDeleteIts a movie within a movie but it deviates a lot from the novel just like every other movies made out of novels.
To grasp the real essence and dearth of Hugo one should read the book.
You will find that life is much worse and challenging than the simple view of the movie.
WORDS CAN EXPRESS THE EMOTIONS IN BETTER WAY THAN THE EYES OF THE PROTAGONIST IN THE MOVIE.
