David Ballin When the movie took home it’s Oscars, I knew I had to see it. I have now seen Hugo 5 or 6 times in the last eight years. And I’m pleased to say it aged decently. One of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen!
Steve Mccart This takes me back to my senior year of high school. I was 18 (almost 19) and I regretfully waited four months to see Hugo. I didn’t know what to fully expect other than the trailers. But the Oscars finally convinced me. I’m 27 now
What's so striking about this film, besides the story and the animation, is the dynamic lighting and colors of each scene; each shot is like a vibrant painting. Someone has been doing their homework on color theory, which is a skill that most just pass by.
+Lady Xerxes ..everything is tinted with blue,even the cobblestones.Scorsese seems to be subtly copying the limited colour palate Melies used..but augmenting it with a cornucopia of technicolour when required (e.g..the flower seller's stall) it's beautiful and magical in equal measure...wonderful film!
The first two frames still beautiful as ever. Especially with the camera zooming into the train station. Perfectly sets the tone for the movie. And the music by Howard Shore is so elegant.
Kyle Campbell Even I didn’t. My dad is a big fan of his movies. I knew I had to have him take me to see this. However, I regret waiting four months to see Hugo after it’s Thanksgiving release. Instead I saw Happy Feet Two in IMAX 3D. The Oscars finally convinced me to see Hugo while it was still having 3D screenings four months later.
I wonder if Quentin Tarantino would be able to get out of his comfort zone and do something that is different from his usual stuff but still well made.
This movie is like set 8 years before the start of WW2. Which would make 12 year old Hugo in this movie 20 in 1939 at the start of WW2. Legal age to join the french army.
@@joewhitehead3 kingdom of the crystal skull, the bfg and ready player. Sure it isn't a ton, so is lucas with the prequels, but you can see how much craft and care scorere use the visual effects to tell a story and create a visual style with modern filmaking, rather than just putting cool shit at the background and nothing else. And they all use to be partners in the 70's and 80's with fracis ford coppola and brian de palma as the hollywood renegates. And as you can see the only one out of the five that still got a wining streak is scorses, while spielberg and de palma are hits or misses, while lucas and coppola just gave up.
@@motor4X4kombat To be fair the Prequels had a lot of models and miniatures work, even more than the OT trilogy given the vast variety of locations and new environments the Prequels showed off. I still agree Lucas gave up as a good storyteller, though. De Palma on the other hand I consider to be a zombie director. His last truly good film was "Carlito's Way", after that he makes either disappointing crap or just plain crap no one really wants to relate to him like "Domino". Spielberg from time to time can still do something decent. I'd say Robert Zemeckis is another great one who absolutely lost his mind nowadays in CGI barf.
Believe me, I’m not into crime movies. And I really thought he was insane to do a movie for an unusual target audience. And the Oscar wins encouraged me to give this a try. And I don’t regret it
@@priya.bonham.carter lmao he said that cause I’n the 2012 oscars the both guys that made the soundtrack won a Oscar and we’re arguing over who talks first on the mic lol
