Because the family, our family, is a private thing, our personal problem, from which can arise conflicts with parents, with a wife, with a husband, with aunts, with our sons. But this is normal, “it’s always been like that,” and everyone resolves it by oneself. Unfortunately…
My kind of world…

Hugo (2011)
Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.
Magical! Mashed up with steampunk fantasy elements.
Legendary director Martin Scorsese gives us a “fun for all ages” film.
1920 Paris! Hugo, played by Asa Butterfield, is a young boy who secretly manages the train stations’ clock and obsesses to repair a shiny robot, the only thing he has left of his deceased father. On his tail is the always funny Sasha Baron Cohen, the authority figure with a bum leg. Show me your smile.Wait, there’s more! Ben Kingsley plays the toymaker, with a cinematic secret. Christopher Lee as the librarian. Ray Winstone as the drunk and Jude Law as Hugos dad! Holy crap, what a cast!
Hitgirl Chloë Moretz befriends the boy and the adventure begins. Together they unearth the toymakers sad past leading the story towards the early days of motion pictures!!! WOW! This was a delightful surprise - my enthusiasm for the film (at the beginning) was at a low, thinking (i was under the impression) this was another sappy CGI kiddie flick. I was way off… Thankfully i was able to catch this wonderful movie.
TRIVIA: Hugo is Martin Scorsese’s first film in 3D.
The flashbacks superbly done and the rocket to the moon made me smile.
Hugo is a blatant love letter to the early days of cinema. I Enjoyed every bit of it. The steampunk gears, bolts and screws were the cherry on top, of this cinematic treat.
Finally! A family film that hits the nail on the head.
i hate youhow and your apathy you can leave you can leave i don’t want ya here
