'Hugo'. Charming, touching, and simply beautiful. Thank you, Martin Scorsese, for a wonderful love letter to films and purpose.Asa Butterfield's Hugo Cabret had me caring for him from the first minute, and brings a huge amount of heart to the central character of this story. He's a lonely kid trying to find his place in the world, and I really felt for him. Film for Hugo is a chance to see dreams and the fantastical come alive, while at the same time providing a way to escape and forget, though it subsequently acts to reminisce Every mention of his father had the 3D getting a little blurry.The emotional punch isn't limited to Hugo though. Ben Kingsley delivers a fine supporting performance as Georges Melies, and the resolution of his secondary, but intertwined plot, impacts in an equally big way.Sacha Baron Cohen's Station Inspector is a barrel of laughs, especially his vernacular when it comes to insulting the various characters of the station, and Chloe Moretz shines once again.Being so passionate about movies, the Melies storyline and history carried even greater meaning to me, as I've recently been listening to Raphael Shargel's 'Understanding Movies', with the first chapter being devoted to the Lumiere brothers and Georges Melies. Getting more of the history behind, and actually seeing works such as 'Arrival of a Train' and 'A Trip to the Moon' had me invested that little bit more.This would make a perfect double feature with 'Cinema Paradiso'!
