Hugo

Today I watched an Oscar awarded movie called Hugo with my friends. We thought it was about Victor Hugo before we started to watch the movie, which turns out that it has nothing to do with the novelist but an adventure about a boy named Hugo.

The movie is about the boy who lives at the clock tower located at the train station in Paris after his dad passed away. He keeps the robot his father left and learns all the knowledge of how a clock and machinary stuff function to continue fixing the robot. He was disturbed by the man who owns a fixing store at the train station for stealing his tools and the police at the train station whose job is to catch homeless children that wander around the train station and stealing food or other things from the passengers. Fortunately, a girl from the reparation store helps him through many difficulties. On their way of fixing the robot, the liitle boy discovers a big secret on the old man from the reparation store which turns the whold movie into another direction (but I am not going to spoil alert please check it out by yourself). What I like about this movie is that it shows respect to movie pioneers (esp. "Trip to The Moon"). I have seen those very old movies before and it appears to be very boring compared to contemporary movie works. But Hugo brings me back to the old times and looking at those movies from different point of view, which makes me find the attraction of the "ancient" movies.

Thumbs up!
