In Reply to: "Hugo" is a shameless plug for Scorc's favorite pet project.... posted by mr grits on December 10, 2011 at 17:22:50:
The bits about Georges Melies' lost work was totally in keeping with the themes of fixing what's broken and finding one's purpose. The fact that it's a deeply personal film for Scorsese only helped as viewers around the world find much to relate with in the story. It's an extraordinary film in every way. No more "kids" than Truffout's 400 Blows.
