About this product

Product Information

Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Brian Selznick's award-winning novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret stars Asa Butterfield, as an orphan boy who lives in a Parisian train station. Sent to live with his drunken uncle after his father's death in a fire, Hugo learned how to wind the massive clocks that run throughout the station. When the uncle disappears one day, Hugo decides to maintain the clocks on his own, hoping nobody will catch on to him squatting in the station.His natural aptitude for engineering leads him to steal gears, tools, and other items from a toy-shop owner who maintains a storefront in the station. Hugo needs these purloined pieces in order to rebuild a mechanical man that was left in the father's care at the museum -- the restoration was a project father and son did together.When Georges (Ben Kingsley), the old man who runs the toy stand, catches on to the thievery, he threatens to turn Hugo over to the station's lone police officer (Sacha Baron Cohen, who makes every effort to send any parentless child in the station to the orphanage. But Hugo's run-in with Georges leads to a friendship with the elderly gentleman's goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz), who unknowingly possesses the last item Hugo needs to make the mechanical man work again.

  • A Good Tale

    This movie joins many others which use history as a background for the unfolding of events. It is conjured in an imaginative timeframe, but lacks an effective beginning. The elaborate machinery of clockworks makes for visual interest while providing focus in the action of the young boy's elaborate attempt to find an elusive part which would complete a robot . The protagonist, Hugo is caught up in many challenging and oppressive situations through many scenes, but, the happy ending comes. Character development is there, but the action moves quickly away from each person, so only a framework is available for the imagination to add to the image of each. I teach school and understand that many children would find this too slow paced, given their attention to watching their personal electronic devices which hold and limit peripheral attention. Movies require focus and detachment from scene to scene. Parents who encourage reading would find their children more readily receptive to watching and staying with the movie. I would recommend the movie, but I don't believe it is a moneymaker for the studio effort which brought it to the public. Engagement with a book version might be more beneficial. Visually the movie has interest.

  • Way too long and self-indulgent

    The set-up and premise is great, and the book it is based on is lovely. But eventually the movie gets way too tedious in glorifying the film industry, movie history, and its own pretentious artsiness. This needed to be 1/2 hour shorter and more focused on the main characters.
