Hugo (2011)

Hugo is a film based on Brian Selznick's novel "The Invention of Hugo Cabret"

It is very educational for the movie lovers who lack the knowledge of its history.

Hugo is a master filmmaker's gift to children. It teaches, in an age-appropriate way, why films/movies are very important and why it's essential that we take care of them. It's a passionate brief for film preservation wrapped in a fanciful tale of childhood intrigue and adventure, Hugo dazzlingly conjoins the earliest days of cinema with the very latest big screen technology. To memory watching Hugo ranks with the best movie watching experiences of my life. So rare is the film that reminds one of why they fell in love with the movies in the first place.No wonder it was nominated in 11 categories at the 84th Academy Awards.

It reminds me of our old Filipino movies that are not being recognize nowadays just like what Howwie Severino documented on i-Witness of GMA-7.
