Did you know Edit. Trivia Martin Scorsese and Sir Christopher Lee were very good friends, but up until , had never worked together. Lee's response when he was asked by Scorsese to appear in Hugo was: "It's about time! However, this is not unusual for fictionalized stories even when there are characters based on real historical figures. The character is "fictional" in the sense that the things that character does and says within the film are not necessarily claimed to be actual actions and words the real person did.

Martin Scorsese's HUGO is a family movie that will probably only cater to a niche crowd: people who appreciate movies as art e. I'm not saying it won't appeal to the general masses. It's still an interesting story, wonderfully acted, and packed with talent both in front of and behind the camera. But let's face it: this isn't your average movie, it's a love letter. Scorsese has been a vocal supporter of restoring old movies in hopes they'll be saved from oblivion rightfully so and this movie, based on a children's book by Brian Selznick, is his method of beautifully pleading his case before millions of people who've probably refuse to watch black and white movies on the basis that they're, you know, black and white yes, I know those sorts of people.
HUGO is a film meant to bring out attention to the movies long-forgotten and remind us of the magic behind them, told through the adventure of a young boy named Hugo Cabret. Hugo is an orphan whose father died in a museum fire, and he lives behind the walls of a Parisian train station. When he's not busy with his job of keeping the station clocks ticking, Hugo spends his time repairing an old automaton his father rescued from museum storage.
An encounter with a curmudgeonly toy store owner and his granddaughter Isabelle will send Hugo on a journey to repair the automaton and discover its long-hidden secrets. As I mentioned, this movie will only really appeal to certain people. Scorsese fans might be put off by the fact that this film is a family-friendly adventure; it doesn't exactly fall in line with Scorsese's usual subject matter.
The family crowds will probably enjoy it, but younger children will likely be put off by it's slow pacing and lack of excitement. It's not so much an adventure as a journey of discovery, and little kids might not find themselves too involved in the story. My own daughter 4, going on 5 gave it an honest try when we sat down to watch it and made it 40 minutes or so before she fell asleep.
Unfortunately, HUGO will probably be one of those films that fades into the background if it hasn't already and find most of it's loving coming from the film school crowds. Scorsese makes his message perfectly clear in the final half of the movie, which happened to be my favorite part of the film. Kingsley is perfect here and the highlight of the movie.
Maybe it's just that Scorsese isn't accustomed to working with younger talent and wasn't able to bring out the best in them, but it's a shame because the two of them are the key players in the movie.
There's a handful of other minor roles filling out the film with talent: Christopher Lee, Ray Winstone, Jude Law, etc. My favorite would probably be Sascha Baron Cohen yes, Borat as the station inspector.
