    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Martin Scorsese and Sir Christopher Lee were very good friends, but up until 2010, had never worked together. Lee's response when he was asked by Scorsese to appear in Hugo was: "It's about time!"
    • Goofs
      Georges Méliès was a real person, but the credits state that all persons in the film are fictional. However, this is not unusual for fictionalized stories even when there are characters based on real historical figures. The character is "fictional" in the sense that the things that character does and says within the film are not necessarily claimed to be actual actions and words the real person did.
    • Quotes

      Hugo Cabret: Maybe that's why a broken machine always makes me a little sad, because it isn't able to do what it was meant to do... Maybe it's the same with people. If you lose your purpose... it's like you're broken.

    • Crazy credits
      There is only one opening credit, the film's title, which does not appear until nearly 15 minutes into the film.

    Love Of Film
    It is overwhelming to see the latest film by the old master. Not an ounce of jadedness from the artist who gave us "Raging Bull" The love from Scorsese to his profession is palpable, tangible, visual and ultimately contagious. 3D, who ever thought we'll see a Scorsese film in 3D. Well, this is like no other 3D film. The device is used organically and we're part of the story. completely. The opening shot is one of the mos beautiful I've ever seen. Georges Melies played beautifully by Ben Kingsley is at the centre of the centre of this gem. I can't wait to see it again and take my parents, my children, nieces and nephews. A film to share with the artist at the helm. Thank you very much!
