Hugo

 

Hugo Cabret was a young child who lived at a railroad station once upon a time. 

He looked for a secret message from his father despite being alone and young. 

The message traveled like magic to the proper individual, allowing dreams to be relived.

 Hugo received 11 nominations and five Oscar nominations this year. 

Martin Scorsese makes his first foray into the three-dimensional world with Hugo. Instead,

 consider the following: Snow falling atop the wooden houses and window panes of old

 France has never looked so hypnotic; the world of clocks has never seemed so high-tech.

 To begin with, Hugo is a visual delight. 

And now we know why it won this year's Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. 

Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield), the orphan boy in town who lives in a railway station, 

steals croissants, and gets his five minutes of fun when he spots the odd ones out at the station while peeping from the great clock tower, brings life to all that eye candy. 

Hugo, like many restless kids, is on the quest for his 'meaning,' which in this case is deciphering the hidden message delivered by an antique piece of automaton by his father.

Another child, Isabella, is assisting him in his mission (Chloe Grace Moretz). 

For her, the 'objective' is simple, and clear adventure beckons. While they're out coding and

 decoding messages, sketching, and seeking the correct key to activate the automata, they're having a good time. 

Once it's working, you realize there's a lot more to the film the true story of French pioneer filmmaker Georges Melies, all of his surviving films, his collection of mechanical models known as automata, and his drive to make dreams (filmmaking) come true.
