Full Circle: A movie review about the extraordinary adventure of Hugo

Everyone thinks that Martin Scorsese’s movies are not for children. His movies are about mafias, gangsters, and money. From a cinematic standpoint, you may think first of a traditional filmmaking when you heard the name Martin Scorsese, an intimate, and even quiet in their delivery. I bet you will never imagine that he would ever get with abright happy film but, this happened with Hugo. Scorsese not just only made a family film, but a family film with a touch of 3D. A movie that has a genre of Adventure, Drama, a little bit of Romance, and Mystery

Watch Hugo and you will see an old magicalfilm tackling history making of cinema. This film is a great defense of the cinema as a dream world and shows how to transform into the brutalizing reality we see all around us.

Warning: The next words you will see may spoil you; you must read at your own risk.

The brilliance and the good visual throughout Hugo are mostly derived from its 1930s Parisian train station setting. To have an intense scene, but like in a fairy tale world, the production adjusted the lights and color, which nevertheless remains grounded in the reality without ever slipping into a playfully quaint or Realism. Inside the movie, Hugo (Asa Butterfield) is surrounded by a big clock with its big machinery that he is maintaining and the automaton from his father’s work that he is trying to repair. Hugo started to leave his world to the real world and unexpectedly, he found this girl named Isabelle (Chloë Grace Moretz), granddaughter of the old man in the stall. And this is where the magic of the film all started.

The two objects that played the most throughout Hugo are the big clock and the automaton. The ticking of the clock is the soundtrack of bringing the conscious mind. The amazing figure of this humanoid or automaton is not just for the hope in technologies but also a symbol of humanity and kindness that has been damaged and made expendable by war.

In other words, Hugo is a movie about young Scorsese and a movie that young Scorsese would have loved.  Hugo not only show the typical of Scorsese’s works, but this shows how the cinema before works and the history of cinema-making.Here in Hugo, this film contains historical commentary on the importance of art. 

They made this Hugo for those people who have a huge passion and for those who wants to be a filmmaker soon. This film is a reminder that before the cinema wasn’t frequently in 3Dbut this explains how the cinema is in the time of black and white only. And I think this makes Hugo more special.
