Hugo

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.


Monsieur Labisse gave me a book the other night.
He always doing that, sending books to a good home.
That's what he calls it.
He's got real...Purpose.
What do you mean?
Everything has a purpose, even machines.
Clocks tell the time and trains take you places.
They do what they're meant to do.
Like Monsieur Labisse.
Maybe that's why broken machines make me so sad.
They can't do what they're meant to do.
Maybe it's same with people.
If you lose your purpose, it's like you're broken.

Once upon a time, I met a boy named Hugo Cabret.
He lived in a train station.
Why did he live in a train station? You might well ask.
That's really what this book is going to be about.
It's about how this singular young man searched so hard to find a secret message from his father.
And how that message lit his way. All the way home.




A very touching and inspire movie.
