93% Hugo

Unlock the secretCinema at it's finestHugo is Cinema at it's best, it is the clear depiction and representation of the movie magic. Wonderfully done, and magically involving, Hugo is definitely one of the top films of 2011, and a genuine representation of cinematography.Hugo is initially about a young boy named Hugo (Butterfield) who lives in the clocks of a train station in Paris. Hugo is an orphan and is searching for the missing piece to a robot that he believes has a message from his father. In his mission to fix the broken machine Hugo ends up fixing the lives of other people that like the machine are broken.This is by far one of Scorsese's best film. In all honesty, I really despised the movie at first from prejudgment; however, as I took the risk and decided to watch the film, it was just a couple of seconds into the film that I fell in love with it. Hugo has a profound message for everyone, but especially to those who are deeply in love with Cinema. Scorsese does an excellent job in creating a film that is equally entertaining and educative for those who wish to pursue a career in the movie business. I could never formulate a binary opinion towards Scorsese: at times I didn't like him for films like The Departed, and The Age of Innocence, but at other times I really liked him for films like Taxi Driver and Shutter Island. However, today with the Help of Hugo I have seen that Scorsese really is one of the finest directors of all times. His knowledge towards film, and his dedication are unremarkable, he really is a genius. Hugo, is the perfect award winning film. Not only for Scorsese's amazing direction, but for several other aspects like: acting, score, and visuals. Kingsley, Baron Cohen, and Christopher Lee have always been spectacular actors, therefore it is not them that grab onto the spotlight in this film. It is Asa Butterfield and Chlore Moretz, two young actors who really shine. They have a great future ahead of them for sure.The score in this movie is perfectly soothing to the entire atmosphere. It stands side by side with The Artist here for this category in my opinion.Finally, the Visuals. The Visuals are just wonderful. Unfortunately I didn't get to see this in 3D, but I'm sure they would have been even better. But, the visuals are like some sort of texture, its like you can feel the clockwork. Plus, there are some amazing shots where you can feel your heart beating as though it were controlled by a clockwork. Overall, Hugo is one of the best films of the year. Really unforgettable, like people have been saying, this is Scorsese's magical present to Cinema. Hugo : " I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. "
