I love Hugo Asa Butterfield
The first thing that really stands out in this movie is the cinematography. I don't believe I have ever seen a movie with such stunning and engaging visuals. I regret that I did not see this in 3D as that must have made the visuals part icularly breathtaking. Of course, I believe every aspect of the film was done extremely well. What I like to do when I watch a movie is get really enmeshed in the story and try to put myself in the shoes of the characters and think about how they would feel. In "Hugo" that is very easy to do as the characters (to me anyway) have a lot of depth and emotion and are full of life. I find it very easy to feel for these characters and root for them.
There are many great performances in this movie. First, Asa Butterfield gives a moving performance as the title character. His tearful expressions and at times melancholy demeanor are truly heart breaking. This young actor is truly gifted in giving a deep performance. His young co-star Chloe Moretz (who plays Isabelle) is also fantastic as an adventurous type who helps bring Hugo out of his shell and who offers him true friendship and support. Ben Kingsley is incredible as well in his portrayal of Georges, a cantankerous old man who is covering up the deep pain he feels about the path his life has taken. Also of note is Sacha Baron Cohen, who portrays a comedic, yet at times frightening station inspector. Even the background characters truly stand out. There are enough side stories in the train station that you almost feel like you are a part of the crowd at that station, getting an intimate look into the social dynamics there.
I also greatly enjoyed the plot of the movie as it unfolded. I won't give much away, but suffice it to say these characters have all crossed paths for a great purpose and have quite an impact on each others lives. This is definitely my favorite movie that came out in 2011. I think this movie will leave a lasting impression for many years to come. Not a movie for cynical people or ones looking for a rousing action film. However, it is definitely a movie that can be enjoyed by dreamers and those who appreciate movies with a depth of emotion and who are good at feeling empathy for movie characters and appreciate the humanity portrayed by them.
