What is film-making? At its most basic, it is creating something -- a reality -- that exists only within the boundaries of the film In Hugo, Scorsese does that. He creates a reality that visually is beautiful. A story that is both touching and educational. A reality within a film that sets a stage, develops a story, resolves a conflict, and teaches us something about the very origin of film; all within beautiful images and a storyline that is more than plaintive. Instead, it reveals the power of the human spirit when it refuses to be subdued.
I never have been prouder to pay admission to a film than to see this film.
