Hugo - 2011
I went to the movies Sunday to see Martin Scorsese's movie Hugo. To say that I liked the film would be an understatement. In Hugo Scorsese uses his love for cinema to tell a tale of a young boy and old man who have lost something and how they re-discover it again together.
George Melies is a favorite filmmaker of mine. I remember seeing some of his films as a small child, and they always struck me as fantastic. The craft that Melies uses in his films is extraordinary, and I was always frustrated that documentaries of early cinema didn't contain more of George Melies. Here Scorsese does this in a fictional film, while at the same time giving us the history of George Melies, and his films.
I just hope that when the DVD comes out that maybe it would be accompanied with a documentary of George Melies and his work. Maye even some of his films could be included. It would be so worth it.
The following video was from Sunday Morning on CBS, and it compelled me to rush down to the theater and see Hugo before it was gone.
All I can say is thanks Marty for the film, and thanks for all the films you've done. You're a BIG inspiration.
