If the World was a Machine

"I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too." --Hugo Cabret

Hi there, I just want to share with you a movie that I just watched that I really enjoyed. I'm not really going to review it or anything, but rather tell you why I loved it. It'a a mix of an adventure, comedy and drama. This movie is a really nice one for the whole family. Hugo (based on the book "The Invention of Hugo Cabret") is about an orphan who lives in the train station and is trying to find out about the mystery of his late father and an automaton. 

The plot has fiction and facts in it, too. I won't spoil the story, but I can tell you that there will be a lot of books and movies involved. Then the characters, on the other hand, are such well played and they make the movie even more enjoyable. Georges Méliès is a former movie maker who has a brilliant creativity and passion for movies, but then he has a heart felting story behind it (watch the movie to find out!) And there's the Station Inspector who was pretty funny and made me laugh because of his awkward and clumsy ways. Hugo, is a determined and brave boy who will stop at nothing to make his automaton work again. Isabelle, a free-spirited bookworm who loves adventure, helps Hugo on his journey.

Now, I won't tell you everything about it so I'll stop about now, hehe.
I learned a lot from this movie and I strongly recommend everyone to watch this movie if you haven't yet, and I hope you guys enjoyed it as much I did! Happy weekends, everyone :)

Oh, I just watched this movie yesterday. I didn't quite get to finish it :(
The clockwork and the costumes and the scenes are brilliant.
