Hugo
Movie Information
In Brief: Martin Scorsese's masterful and beautiful film about a young boy living within the walls of a Paris train station turns out to be a great deal more than a fantasy for children (though it is that, too). It's also a movie about the movies, their history and their sheer magic. There’s a tendency to think of the film ultimately as Scorsese’s plea for film preservation. Yes, that’s in there, but that’s actually a fairly small part of the movie. To me, it’s much more a plea to treasure our artists while we have them—not relegate them to the dustbin of the unfashionable, or deem them, in that hateful modern fashion, as no longer “relevant.” That’s the idea at the core of Hugo, which makes the film so very special and human.
