Hugo-Movie Review by Keith Kelly

  • 13 years ago
http://www.innovativecommunications.tv “Hugo” follows the adventures of an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station in 1930’s Paris. It’s part Dickens, part mystery, as young Hugo tries to survive on his own, while also attempting to unravel the secret behind an old mechanical man his late dad discovered. “Hugo” was one of my favorite films of the year. It’s beautiful, emotional, artistic and moving. It’s filled with wonderfully intriguing performances from top to bottom. The film is literally told from the eyes of a child, and so it’s filled with wonderment, imagination and bewilderment. The world Scorsese created is bigger than life-both magical and scary, and is fully realized in the mechanical set designs brought completely to life with some of the best 3D treatments I’ve seen at the theatre.

“Hugo” is a treasure and triumph of filmmaking, and is bound to be a classic for generations to come.
