You didn’t really talk about it but what I really loved about this movie, in addition to its incredible visuals and story, was the music. Truly heartwarming and indicative of the tone of this movie.
This and The Adventures of Tin Tin are the most underrated movies of 2011. Both of them use CGI technology to their fullest potential and both deserve to be brought up and praised more.
@Bardenbella120 It won Best Visual Effects at the Oscars. Clearly it's CGI, i mean there are a lot of sequences that requires CGI to work with particulary the train crash scene
I am absolutely in love with the Cinematography of this movie the colors and textures are so deep and saturated in the best way I know nothing about Editing or cinematography but because of this movie and some others I am getting into it and Color Grading
I loved Hugo when I saw it in a 3D theater. I knew about the Georges Melies film "Le Voyage dans la Lune" from the HBO series From The Earth To The Moon where the making of it was fictionally depicted. I didn't know that Melies was such a pioneer in visual effects. Scorsese used the green screen technology, digital compositing and 3D presentation to great effect. I can't believe that someone who made such an effects heavy picture, which is a clear homage to the pioneering work of Georges Melies, can now be criticizing other film makers and characterizing their films as theme park rides. What else was "Le Voyage dans la Lune" than a fanciful tale of fantasy, with an over-sized hollow bullet (ship) being shot from a canon to land on an anthropomorphic moon face where people breath in an oxygen atmosphere in a gravity-filled environment on the moon and battling space creatures only to crash back to Earth. Melies was a pioneer of effects laden cinema and if he were alive today, he would be making "theme park rides" like he always did.
@@rishabhsharma3169 - I think it was implied when he said "they're not cinema." Didn't he also say that he couldn't sit though a whole movie? I don't know which one it was but I'm sure he said that he had to get up and leave.
I always thought the portions of the film focusing on Melies were really great as you can tell Scorsese truly respects and admires him. But I felt the child-centred sections felt saccarine and run of the mill. Just my opinion.
I see what you mean, but in my opinion the camera work and cinematography (and the amazing 3d when I saw it in cinemas) really elevated what could've been a pretty average family film
Not so sure about that analysis. The film needed stability. Everyone was stressed in it except the little girl who was the calming influence after his father died in the fire. She did a great job by playing a very straight big sister. Had she not been "saccharine" her role as stabilizer would have been sorely missed. Sometimes you have to step back and look at the entire film to understand how an actor affects it. Bottom line, the kids were perfect.
5:54 I loved this video, great analysis, but that edit kinda made it look like a clip from those "perfectly cut screams" compilations and I couldn't help but laugh lol
Awesome ! you deserve a lot more subscribers ! this was really cool ! I really loved this movie. Great video ! Did you see Primer by Sane Carruth by the way ?
+What's in The Frame Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed! Right now my goal for RUclips isn't to grow in subscriber count, but instead to build up a library of film dissections. From there hopefully that will make the subscriber count go up. I did see Primer a few years ago. It's an incredibly intelligent film, but in order to really understand it, you would need a PhD in some physicsy field.
Great review! I have seen this on BluRay and I remember the color grading being much more "teal and orange" (of which I never was a huge fan) throughout. Some of the scenes in your footage have a much more natural (IMHO better) color grading. Is it a different edition, or is my memory clouded? I definitely need to seek out a chance to see this in 3D. I'm a devoted fan of cinema from all periods, and I have a weak spot for the turn of the 19th/20th century (steam, rivets, clockwork and early cinematography being honored instead of being made "retro trendy" in form of "steam punk"). Can't go wrong with Ben Kingsley. He has a way of instantly representing true dignity and wisdom. Thanks for another great review!
that film , were is it from!? 0:47 i asked already but to no avail i really wish to find it the footage of the trucks driving down the road, i saw it once on Joris Faucon Grimaud's video but i could never find the original source or origin for that clip nor could i distinguish it from a Lumiere product from a Edison one do you think you remember it? is it from a silent film montage or something? because seems to be bundled in a sample
wowzer!! thanks! but...yeah no thanks we don't know : ( it's clearly a clip bundle in the order of the moving vehicles ,Corbett vs Courtney boxing match, The First Kiss, and eventually Pandora's Box , which was moved onward in this first time i saw the vehicles clip ruclips.net/video/i2QGCcrPnNk/видео.html i'm talking about the first few 50 seconds , no need to watch the whole video for the conversation, if you ever come across the clip compilation or tribute montage this is all from , i'll be around.

Great score
This movie is underrated
Howard Shore composed this movie, yes that composer who also composed the Middle Earth movies. Shore never misses with his music
This and The Adventures of Tin Tin are the most underrated movies of 2011.
Both of them use CGI technology to their fullest potential and both deserve to be brought up and praised more.
"Imma let you finish but..."
@Bardenbella120 its not but it uses cgi a lot
@Bardenbella120 It won Best Visual Effects at the Oscars. Clearly it's CGI, i mean there are a lot of sequences that requires CGI to work with particulary the train crash scene
Adventures of Tin Tin is so freaking underrated I loved that movie when it came out
Man this is one of the most underrated movies. Wish it was talked about more
Hugo is a film that I love it more as I get older.
can you tell me what his real name???? the boy withe blue eyes!
@@رعدبلاسم-ض5خ asa butterfield
Wow
I watched this movie in a geography class because it showed culture in France
I am absolutely in love with the Cinematography of this movie the colors and textures are so deep and saturated in the best way I know nothing about Editing or cinematography but because of this movie and some others I am getting into it and Color Grading
I love this movie , it’s beautiful in every way .

I completely agree with you but he is not saying that these contemporary theme rides are bad..

I absolutely adore this movie
This is one Martin Scorsese’s most underrated movies. This is literally so good
It’s finally being released on 4K HDR! 🎉
Where? Like which service?
This has been my favorite movie since I saw it years ago as a kid!
Back then when I was a kid (till to this day) I really loved watching this film without knowing what it's about.
I always thought the portions of the film focusing on Melies were really great as you can tell Scorsese truly respects and admires him. But I felt the child-centred sections felt saccarine and run of the mill. Just my opinion.

BatDevilSpawn I just rewatched it and I completely agree with that sentiment.
Not so sure about that analysis. The film needed stability. Everyone was stressed in it except the little girl who was the calming influence after his father died in the fire.

I agree. Once this film is excepted on its own terms, it’s revealed to be a masterpiece that only gets better with age 🔥
I own this movie on blu ray 3D.... Never saw a movie that was more fitting for 3D than this one
*”MaYbE iLl JuSt BuRn It” says George melies. “NoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo!!!!” says Hugo.*
5:54 I loved this video, great analysis, but that edit kinda made it look like a clip from those "perfectly cut screams" compilations and I couldn't help but laugh lol
“Maybe I’ll just burn it!”
“NOOOO-“
I loved this film! Maybe it was the reason why I'm a cinephile to this day
The book is also fantastic.
This raised me
Awesome ! you deserve a lot more subscribers ! this was really cool ! I really loved this movie.
Great video !

one of the best movies ever. it should be rereleased in 3 D theaters. TV just not as good
Wow. This was awesome. Thanks!!

Thanks for another great review!
The predominant color is the teal blue, but there is a lot of deviation from that especially in the callbaks to early cinema
Thanks for the information! Will rewatch the movie (if I can in 3D) ASAP!
Make sure you get back to me when you do!
Will do :-)
that film , were is it from!? 0:47 i asked already but to no avail
i really wish to find it

Yes-from a silent film-I do not know which one.
