Movie Review:Hugo…is a celebration in film-making
Okay..cards on the table time…Hugo
is a slow movie (especially till what can be regarded as the first half) with a simple storyline. It might even be mistaken for a children’s story - the kind that could be told at bed-time. If that’s what you see in Hugo, well then you are not seeing the complete picture and a movie like Hugo is probably not best suited for you. When I first read about the movie being cancelled in India due to its poor performance overseas I was pretty ticked off. For a movie wherein James Cameron himself admitted it made his Avatar's
3D second-best, the 3D alone should have brought hoards to the movie. However, once one actually gets to see it and the final credits roll in…one begins to see why this movie had little audience..there is so much to Hugo that would be missed on most of its audience… Those expecting a real 3D ‘Narnian’ adventure with fairy tale characters, monsters and witches..well, there’s none of it. Instead, Hugo is a tribute to the magic of film-making…to say anything more would be giving away more than is necessary. The movie has a lot of soul and there are scenes that can be heart wrenching and heart warming at the same time.
You only get to appreciate what Scorsese’s really done late into the 2nd half of the movie and then you marvel at the brilliance of a master class director. To tell such a story in a ground-breaking 3D format, is pure genius and hats off to Scorsese to pull it off with such panache.Especially since the 3D is that good. The use of dust particles, smoke from the steam engine, snowfall is done wondrously well. While I wouldn’t compare the movie to Avatar's
, since both are completely different types of movies, I would give full marks to the 3D that Hugo has to offer I would seriously urge you though, to consider seeing this movie in IMAX or at least some movie hall which can live up to the 3D experience the movie has to offer. Disappointingly, when I saw it at PVR, there were multiple scenes where I could see that the movie’s 3D was not coming through in its true form..such a pity
As for the performances, everybody has done an earnest job - Asa Butterfield as Hugo putting in a rather sincere performance and Sir Ben Kingsley in absolute vintage touch while Chloe Grace Moretz (remember Hit Girl from Kick-Ass
??) also playing her limited role well But this movie, is all about the director and the way he ‘winds’ the story around for you. The way it all unfolds..the few moments of restrained and unrestrained emotion..and the true tribute to film-making that Scorsese achieves as the ending credits roll in
If all this does not catch your fancy then Hugo is an easy miss but if it does..well, then Hugo Cabret beckons you from his clock tower..go catch him before the train leaves the station!!
