Must admit, Oscar nominated film,”Hugo” was a delightful surprise and it should not have been!
On first learning that Martin Scorsese had succumbed to the 3D craze I wrongfully expected a film totally dependent on visual gimmicks.
Scorsese has always been a masterful story teller and “Hugo” is no exception and it is the story that makes this film so wonderful. The visuals are exceptional, the casting choices thoughtful and yes, I really enjoyed this movie.
Avoid reviews with deep analysis and just see the movie with an open mind. I left the theater knowing more then I knew before about the history of film and curious to learn more.
