'''''Hugo''''' is a 2011 [[Historical period drama|historical]] [[Adventure film|adventure]] [[Drama (film and television)|drama film]] directed and produced by [[Martin Scorsese]] and adapted for the screen by [[John Logan (writer)|John Logan]]. Based on [[Brian Selznick]]'s book ''[[The Invention of Hugo Cabret]]'', it tells the story of a boy who lives alone in the [[Gare Montparnasse]] railway station in [[Paris]] in the 1930s.

''Hugo'' is Scorsese's first film shot in [[3-D film|3D]], of which the filmmaker remarked, "I found 3D to be really interesting, because the actors were more upfront emotionally. Their slightest move, their slightest intention is picked up much more precisely."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15967276 |title=Can Martin Scorsese's Hugo save 3D? |last=Savage |first=Mark |publisher=BBC News Online |accessdate=2012-12-09 |date=2011-12-01}}</ref> The film was released in the United States on November 23, 2011.<ref name="ReleaseDates">{{cite web |url=http://www.hugomovie.com/intl/releasedates/release-dates.html |title=Global Sites & Release Dates |publisher=[[Paramount Pictures]] |accessdate=2011-08-11}}</ref>

When it was released, ''Hugo'' received critical acclaim and received 11 [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] nominations (including [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]]), more than any other film that year, and won five awards: [[Academy Award for Best Cinematography|Best Cinematography]], [[Academy Award for Best Production Design|Best Art Direction]], [[Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing|Best Sound Mixing]], [[Academy Award for Best Sound Editing|Best Sound Editing]], and [[Academy Award for Best Visual Effects|Best Visual Effects]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/27/idUS109713366520120227 |title= Oscars 2012: 'The Artist' and 'Hugo' Tie for 5 Awards, But Silent Film Wins Best Picture |publisher= Reuters |date=2012-02-27 |accessdate=2012-03-02}}</ref> It was also nominated for eight [[65th British Academy Film Awards|BAFTAs]], winning two of the eight, and was nominated for three [[69th Golden Globe Awards|Golden Globe awards]], earning Scorsese his third [[Golden Globe Award for Best Director]]. Despite this, the film was a [[Box office bomb|commercial failure]], grossing $185 million against its $150–$170 million budget.

==Plot==
In 1931 [[Paris]], 12-year-old Hugo Cabret ([[Asa Butterfield]]) lives with his widowed, clockmaker father ([[Jude Law]]), who also works at a museum. Mr. Cabret finds a broken [[automaton]] - a mechanical man designed to write with a pen - at the museum. He and Hugo try to repair it, with Mr. Cabret documenting the automaton in a notebook. When his father dies, Hugo goes to live with his resentful, alcoholic uncle, Claude ([[Ray Winstone]]), and is forced to maintain the clocks at the [[Gare Montparnasse]] railway station. When Claude goes missing for several days, Hugo continues maintaining the clocks, fearing that vindictive Station Inspector Gustave Dasté ([[Sacha Baron Cohen]]) will send him away as an orphan if Claude's absence is discovered. Hugo attempts to repair the automaton with stolen parts, believing it contains a message from his father, but the machine requires a heart-shaped key that his father could not find.

Hugo is caught stealing from a toy store. When the owner, Georges ([[Ben Kingsley]]), looks through Hugo's father's notebook and threatens to destroy it, Georges' [[godparent|goddaughter]], Isabelle ([[Chloë Grace Moretz]]), offers to help Hugo get the notebook back. As their friendship grows, he shows her the automaton, and is astonished when Isabelle inadvertently reveals she wears the key as a necklace given to her by Georges. When started, the machine draws out a scene that Hugo recognizes from his father's description of the film ''[[A Trip to the Moon]]''. Isabelle identifies the signature, that of a "[[Georges Méliès]]", as her godfather. She sneaks Hugo into her home, where they find a hidden cache of more imaginative drawings of Méliès, but are caught by Georges, who banishes Hugo from his home.

Hugo and Isabelle go to the Film Academy Library and find a book about the history of cinema that praises Méliès' contributions. They meet the book's author, René Tabard ([[Michael Stuhlbarg]]), a film expert who is surprised to hear that Méliès might still be alive, as he had disappeared after [[World War I]] along with nearly all copies of his films. Excited at the chance to meet him, René agrees to meet Isabelle and Hugo at Georges' home to show his copy of ''A Trip to the Moon'', hoping it will invigorate Georges.

The next day, Hugo discovers that the key has somehow found its way onto the railway tracks in the station. As he drops onto the track to retrieve it, he is suddenly hit and killed by [[Montparnasse derailment|an uncontrollable train that eventually smashes through the walls of the station]]. Hugo wakes up to discover that the harrowing events were just a nightmare. After noticing that a pocket watch hanging from the rafters of his home is missing, Hugo can still hear an ominous ticking emanating from him. He then discovers he's been turned into the automaton, only for him to wake up again to discover that this was yet another nightmare, possibly and disturbingly symbolizing Hugo’s belief of all beings having a sole purpose in life.

On the scheduled night, Georges' wife Jeanne ([[Helen McCrory]]) tries to turn them away, but René compliments Jeanne as [[Jeanne d'Alcy]], an actress in many of Méliès' films, and she allows them to continue. As the film plays, Georges wakes up at the sight, and Jeanne finally convinces him to cherish his accomplishments rather than regret his lost dream. Georges recounts that as a stage magician, he had been fascinated by motion pictures, and used the medium to create imaginative works through his [[Star Film Company]], but was forced into bankruptcy following the war, closing his studio and selling his films to be turned into raw materials. He laments that even an automaton he made that he donated to a museum was lost. Hugo recognizes this is the same automaton he has, and races to the station to retrieve it. He is caught by Gustave, who has learned that Claude's body was found some time ago, and threatens to take Hugo to the orphanage. Hugo runs from him, but drops the automaton on the tracks. He is almost run over by a train like his dream, but Gustave saves him and the automaton. Georges arrives and tells Gustave that he will now see to Hugo, adopting him as his son.

Some time later, Georges is named a professor at the Film Academy, and is paid tribute through a showcase of his films recovered by René. Hugo joins in with his new family as they celebrate at the apartment, where the guests include a mellower Gustave. He has a new leg brace, and is clearly in love with Lisette ([[Emily Mortimer]]), a flower seller at the station. As the movie ends, Isabelle starts to write down Hugo's story and the automaton is shown in Hugo's new room, staring into space.

==Production==
===Pre-production===
[[Graham King|GK Films]] acquired the screen rights to ''The Invention of Hugo Cabret'' shortly after the book was published in 2007. Initially, [[Chris Wedge]] was signed in to direct the adaptation and [[John Logan (writer)|John Logan]] was contracted to write the screenplay.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Siegel |first=Tatiana |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117985121 |title=Chris Wedge to direct 'Hugo Cabret' |journal=Variety |date=2008-05-05 |accessdate=2012-08-24}}</ref> The film was initially titled ''Hugo Cabret''. Several actors were hired, including Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Helen McCrory. Jude Law, Ray Winstone, Christopher Lee, Frances de la Tour, and Richard Griffiths later joined the project. ''Hugo'' was originally budgeted at $100 million, but ran over with a final budget between $156 million and $170 million.<ref>{{cite news|last=Goldstein|first=Patrick|title=Graham King on 'Hugo's' box-office woes: 'It's been painful'|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/02/graham-king-on-hugos-rough-ride-its-been-painful.html|accessdate=2012-04-08|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=2012-02-06}}</ref> In February 2012, Graham King summed up his experience of producing ''Hugo'': "Let's just say that it hasn't been an easy few months for me—there's been a lot of [[Ambien]] involved".

===Filming===
Production began in London on June 29, 2010; the first shooting location was at the [[Shepperton Studios]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Fernandez |first=Jay A. |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jude-law-cast-scorseses-cabret-25089 |title=Jude Law cast in Scorsese's 'Cabret' |journal=The Hollywood Reporter |date=2010-06-29 |accessdate=2012-08-24}}</ref> The [[Nene Valley Railway]] near [[Peterborough]] also lent their original [[Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits]] rolling stock to the studio.<ref name="FilmingCommences">{{cite web |last=Weintraub |first=Steve |url=http://www.collider.com/2010/06/29/hugo-cabret-filming-commences-jude-law-ray-winstone-christopher-lee |title=Hugo Cabret Filming Commences Full Cast Announced Jude Law, Ray Winstone, Christopher Lee |publisher=Collider.com |date=2010-06-29 |accessdate=2010-06-30}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Truslove |first=Ben |url= http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/lifestyle/the-guide/film_legend_scorcese_s_peterborough_film_shoot_1_2340922 |title=Film Legend Scorcese's Peterborough film shoot |date=2011-01-25 |newspaper=Peterborough Telegraph |accessdate=2011-10-21}}</ref>

In August 2010, production moved to Paris for two weeks. Locations included the [[Sainte-Geneviève Library]], the [[Sorbonne]] (where a lecture hall was converted into a 1930s cinema hall) in the [[5th arrondissement of Paris|5th arrondissement]], and the [[Théâtre de l'Athénée]] and its surrounding area in the [[9th arrondissement of Paris|9th]]. High school [[Lycée Louis-le-Grand]] served as the film's base of operations in Paris; its cafeteria served 700 meals a day for the cast and crew.<ref>{{cite news |last=Faye |first=Olivier |url= http://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2010/08/23/sur-les-traces-de-martin-scorsese-a-paris_1401787_3246.html |title=Sur les traces de Martin Scorsese à Paris |date=2010-08-23 |newspaper=[[Le Monde]]}}</ref>

The backstory and primary features of [[Georges Méliès]]' life as depicted in the film are largely accurate: He became interested in film after seeing a demonstration of the [[Lumière brothers]]' camera;<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.earlycinema.com/pioneers/melies_bio.html |title=Pioneers: Georges Melies |publisher=EarlyCinema.com |accessdate=2012-03-25 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328083357/http://www.earlycinema.com/pioneers/melies_bio.html |archivedate=March 28, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> he was a magician and toymaker; he experimented with automata; he owned a theatre ([[Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin|Theatre Robert-Houdin]]); he was forced into bankruptcy; his film stock was reportedly melted down for its celluloid; he became a toy salesman at the [[Gare Montparnasse|Montparnasse station]], and he was eventually awarded the [[Légion d'honneur]] medal after a period of terrible neglect. Many of the early silent films shown in the movie are Méliès's actual works, such as ''[[A Trip to the Moon|Le voyage dans la lune]]'' (1902). However, the film does not mention Méliès' two children, his brother Gaston (who worked with Méliès during his film-making career), or his first wife Eugénie, who was married to Méliès during the time he made films (and who died in 1913). The film shows Méliès married to Jeanne d'Alcy during their filmmaking period, when in reality they did not marry until 1925.

The automaton's design was inspired by the [[Maillardet's automaton]] made by the Swiss watchmaker [[Henri Maillardet]], which Selznick had seen in the [[Franklin Institute]], Philadelphia,<ref>{{cite news|last=Fountain|first=Henry|title=Graceful Moves, for a Boy Made of Metal|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/27/science/maillardet-automaton-inspired-martin-scorseses-film-hugo.html|accessdate=27 December 2011|newspaper=The New York Times|date=26 December 2011}}</ref> as well as the [[Jaquet-Droz automata|Jaquet-Droz automaton]] "the writer".<ref>{{cite news|last=Lytal|first=Cristy|title=Working Hollywood: Dick George, prop maker|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2011/nov/27/entertainment/la-ca-working-hollywood-20111127|accessdate=25 January 2012|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=27 November 2011}}</ref> A portion of the scene with [[Harold Lloyd]] in ''[[Safety Last!]]'' (1923), hanging from the clock, is shown when the main characters sneak into a movie theater. Later, Hugo, like Lloyd in ''Safety Last!'', hangs from the hands of a large clock on a clock tower to escape from a pursuer.

Several viewings of the film ''[[L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat]]'' are portrayed, depicting the shocked reaction of the audience—although this view is in doubt.<ref>''The Moving Image'': Volume 4, Number 1, Spring 2004, pp. 89-118)</ref>

Emil Lager, [[Ben Addis]], and Robert Gill make [[cameo appearance]]s as the father of [[Gypsy jazz]] guitar, [[Django Reinhardt]], the Spanish [[Surrealism|surrealist]] painter, [[Salvador Dalí]], and the Irish writer [[James Joyce]], respectively. The names of all three characters appear towards the end of the film's cast credit list.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hugo (2011)&nbsp;– Full Cast and Crew|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0970179/fullcredits#cast|publisher=[[Internet Movie Database]]|accessdate=13 December 2011}}</ref>

The book that Monsieur Labisse gives Hugo as a gift, ''Robin Hood le proscrit'' (Robin Hood the outlaw), was written by [[Alexandre Dumas]] in 1864 as a French translation of an 1838 work by [[Pierce Egan the Younger]] in England. The book is symbolic, as Hugo must avoid the "righteous" law enforcement (Inspector Gustave) to live in the station and later to restore the automaton both to a functioning status and to its rightful owner. The particular copy given to Hugo looks like the 1917 English-language edition (David McKay publisher, Philadelphia, United States) with cover and interior illustrations by N.C. Wyeth, but with "Le Proscrit" added to the cover by the prop department.
There is also a depiction of the [[Montparnasse derailment]], when at 4 pm on 22 October 1895, the Granville–Paris Express overran the buffer stop at its Gare Montparnasse terminus.

==Reception==

===Box office performance===
''Hugo'' earned $15.4 million over its Thanksgiving weekend debut. It went on to earn [[US$]]73,864,507 domestically and $111,905,653 overseas, for a worldwide gross of $185,770,160.<ref name=mojo /> Despite praise from critics, ''Hugo'' was cited as one of the year's notable box-office flops. Its perceived failure was due to competition with Disney's ''[[The Muppets (film)|The Muppets]]'' and Summit's ''[[The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn&nbsp;– Part 1|Breaking Dawn Part 1]]''.<ref name="Fritz">{{cite web |first=Ben |last=Fritz |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/01/business/la-fi-ct-hugo-20111201 |title=For 'Hugo,' a big opening isn't necessarily better |publisher=Los Angeles Times |work=Articles.latimes.com |date=2011-12-01 |accessdate=2014-02-24}}</ref> The film was estimated to have had a net loss of $100 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.virginmedia.com/movies/features/biggest-flops-of-2011.php?page=9 |title=Hugo—Biggest movie flops of 2011 - Movies |publisher=Virgin Media |date=2011-12-20 |accessdate=2014-02-24}}</ref> Producer [[Graham King]] said that the film's box-office results were painful. "There's no finger-pointing—I'm the producer and I take the responsibility," he said. "Budget-wise, there just wasn't enough prep time and no one really realized how complicated doing a 3D film was going to be. I went through three line-producers because no one knew exactly what was going on. Do I still think it's a masterpiece that will be talked about in 20 years? Yes. But once the schedule started getting out of whack, things just spiraled and spiraled and that's when the avalanche began."<ref>{{cite web |first=Graham |last=King |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/02/graham-king-on-hugos-rough-ride-its-been-painful.html |title='Hugo's' box-office woes: 'It's been painful' |publisher=Los Angeles Times |work=Latimesblogs.latimes.com |date=2012-02-06 |accessdate=2014-02-24}}</ref>

===Critical reception===
The film currently holds a 94% "Certified Fresh" rating on aggregate review site [[Rotten Tomatoes]] based on 213 reviews, with an average score of 8.3/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "''Hugo'' is an extravagant, elegant fantasy with an innocence lacking in many modern kids' movies, and one that emanates an unabashed love for the magic of cinema."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hugo/|title=Hugo (2011)|work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|publisher=[[Fandango Media]] |accessdate=June 25, 2018}}</ref> [[Metacritic]] gave the film an average score of 83 out of 100, based on 41 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".<ref name="Metacritic">{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/hugo|title=Hugo Reviews|work=[[Metacritic]] |publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|accessdate=March 6, 2016}}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave the film four out of four stars, saying that the film "...is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic in 3-D, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life.

Hugo is a 2011 historical adventure drama film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese and adapted for the screen by John Logan. Based on Brian Selznick's book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, it tells the story of a boy who lives alone in the Gare Montparnasse railway station in Paris in the 1930s.

Hugo is Scorsese's first film shot in 3D, of which the filmmaker remarked, "I found 3D to be really interesting, because the actors were more upfront emotionally. Their slightest move, their slightest intention is picked up much more precisely."[4] The film was released in the United States on November 23, 2011.[5]

When it was released, Hugo received critical acclaim and received 11 Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture), more than any other film that year, and won five awards: Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Visual Effects.[6] It was also nominated for eight BAFTAs, winning two of the eight, and was nominated for three Golden Globe awards, earning Scorsese his third Golden Globe Award for Best Director. Despite this, the film was a commercial failure, grossing $185 million against its $150–$170 million budget.

Plot

In 1931 Paris, 12-year-old Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) lives with his widowed, clockmaker father (Jude Law), who also works at a museum. Mr. Cabret finds a broken automaton - a mechanical man designed to write with a pen - at the museum. He and Hugo try to repair it, with Mr. Cabret documenting the automaton in a notebook. When his father dies, Hugo goes to live with his resentful, alcoholic uncle, Claude (Ray Winstone), and is forced to maintain the clocks at the Gare Montparnasse railway station. When Claude goes missing for several days, Hugo continues maintaining the clocks, fearing that vindictive Station Inspector Gustave Dasté (Sacha Baron Cohen) will send him away as an orphan if Claude's absence is discovered. Hugo attempts to repair the automaton with stolen parts, believing it contains a message from his father, but the machine requires a heart-shaped key that his father could not find.

Hugo is caught stealing from a toy store. When the owner, Georges (Ben Kingsley), looks through Hugo's father's notebook and threatens to destroy it, Georges' goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloë Grace Moretz), offers to help Hugo get the notebook back. As their friendship grows, he shows her the automaton, and is astonished when Isabelle inadvertently reveals she wears the key as a necklace given to her by Georges. When started, the machine draws out a scene that Hugo recognizes from his father's description of the film A Trip to the Moon. Isabelle identifies the signature, that of a "Georges Méliès", as her godfather. She sneaks Hugo into her home, where they find a hidden cache of more imaginative drawings of Méliès, but are caught by Georges, who banishes Hugo from his home.

Hugo and Isabelle go to the Film Academy Library and find a book about the history of cinema that praises Méliès' contributions. They meet the book's author, René Tabard (Michael Stuhlbarg), a film expert who is surprised to hear that Méliès might still be alive, as he had disappeared after World War I along with nearly all copies of his films. Excited at the chance to meet him, René agrees to meet Isabelle and Hugo at Georges' home to show his copy of A Trip to the Moon, hoping it will invigorate Georges.

The next day, Hugo discovers that the key has somehow found its way onto the railway tracks in the station. As he drops onto the track to retrieve it, he is suddenly hit and killed by an uncontrollable train that eventually smashes through the walls of the station. Hugo wakes up to discover that the harrowing events were just a nightmare. After noticing that a pocket watch hanging from the rafters of his home is missing, Hugo can still hear an ominous ticking emanating from him. He then discovers he's been turned into the automaton, only for him to wake up again to discover that this was yet another nightmare, possibly and disturbingly symbolizing Hugo’s belief of all beings having a sole purpose in life.

On the scheduled night, Georges' wife Jeanne (Helen McCrory) tries to turn them away, but René compliments Jeanne as Jeanne d'Alcy, an actress in many of Méliès' films, and she allows them to continue. As the film plays, Georges wakes up at the sight, and Jeanne finally convinces him to cherish his accomplishments rather than regret his lost dream. Georges recounts that as a stage magician, he had been fascinated by motion pictures, and used the medium to create imaginative works through his Star Film Company, but was forced into bankruptcy following the war, closing his studio and selling his films to be turned into raw materials. He laments that even an automaton he made that he donated to a museum was lost. Hugo recognizes this is the same automaton he has, and races to the station to retrieve it. He is caught by Gustave, who has learned that Claude's body was found some time ago, and threatens to take Hugo to the orphanage. Hugo runs from him, but drops the automaton on the tracks. He is almost run over by a train like his dream, but Gustave saves him and the automaton. Georges arrives and tells Gustave that he will now see to Hugo, adopting him as his son.

Some time later, Georges is named a professor at the Film Academy, and is paid tribute through a showcase of his films recovered by René. Hugo joins in with his new family as they celebrate at the apartment, where the guests include a mellower Gustave. He has a new leg brace, and is clearly in love with Lisette (Emily Mortimer), a flower seller at the station. As the movie ends, Isabelle starts to write down Hugo's story and the automaton is shown in Hugo's new room, staring into space.

Cast

Michael Pitt, Martin Scorsese, and Brian Selznick have cameo roles.

Production

Pre-production

GK Films acquired the screen rights to The Invention of Hugo Cabret shortly after the book was published in 2007. Initially, Chris Wedge was signed in to direct the adaptation and John Logan was contracted to write the screenplay.[7] The film was initially titled Hugo Cabret. Several actors were hired, including Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Helen McCrory. Jude Law, Ray Winstone, Christopher Lee, Frances de la Tour, and Richard Griffiths later joined the project. Hugo was originally budgeted at $100 million, but ran over with a final budget between $156 million and $170 million.[8] In February 2012, Graham King summed up his experience of producing Hugo: "Let's just say that it hasn't been an easy few months for me—there's been a lot of Ambien involved".

Filming

Production began in London on June 29, 2010; the first shooting location was at the Shepperton Studios.[9] The Nene Valley Railway near Peterborough also lent their original Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits rolling stock to the studio.[10][11]

In August 2010, production moved to Paris for two weeks. Locations included the Sainte-Geneviève Library, the Sorbonne (where a lecture hall was converted into a 1930s cinema hall) in the 5th arrondissement, and the Théâtre de l'Athénée and its surrounding area in the 9th. High school Lycée Louis-le-Grand served as the film's base of operations in Paris; its cafeteria served 700 meals a day for the cast and crew.[12]

Music

The film's soundtrack includes an Oscar-nominated original score composed by Howard Shore, and also makes prominent use of the Danse macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns and Gnossienne No. 1 by Erik Satie. Additional music was provided uncredited by French pianist and composer Jean-Michel Bernard[13]

Release

Historical references

Maillardet's automaton was an inspiration for the design of the automaton in the film.
The Jaquet-Droz automaton "the writer" was another inspiration for the design of the automaton in the film.

The backstory and primary features of Georges Méliès' life as depicted in the film are largely accurate: He became interested in film after seeing a demonstration of the Lumière brothers' camera;[15] he was a magician and toymaker; he experimented with automata; he owned a theatre (Theatre Robert-Houdin); he was forced into bankruptcy; his film stock was reportedly melted down for its celluloid; he became a toy salesman at the Montparnasse station, and he was eventually awarded the Légion d'honneur medal after a period of terrible neglect. Many of the early silent films shown in the movie are Méliès's actual works, such as Le voyage dans la lune (1902). However, the film does not mention Méliès' two children, his brother Gaston (who worked with Méliès during his film-making career), or his first wife Eugénie, who was married to Méliès during the time he made films (and who died in 1913). The film shows Méliès married to Jeanne d'Alcy during their filmmaking period, when in reality they did not marry until 1925.

The automaton's design was inspired by the Maillardet's automaton made by the Swiss watchmaker Henri Maillardet, which Selznick had seen in the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia,[16] as well as the Jaquet-Droz automaton "the writer".[17] A portion of the scene with Harold Lloyd in Safety Last! (1923), hanging from the clock, is shown when the main characters sneak into a movie theater. Later, Hugo, like Lloyd in Safety Last!, hangs from the hands of a large clock on a clock tower to escape from a pursuer.

Several viewings of the film L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat are portrayed, depicting the shocked reaction of the audience—although this view is in doubt.[18]

Emil Lager, Ben Addis, and Robert Gill make cameo appearances as the father of Gypsy jazz guitar, Django Reinhardt, the Spanish surrealist painter, Salvador Dalí, and the Irish writer James Joyce, respectively. The names of all three characters appear towards the end of the film's cast credit list.[19]

The book that Monsieur Labisse gives Hugo as a gift, Robin Hood le proscrit (Robin Hood the outlaw), was written by Alexandre Dumas in 1864 as a French translation of an 1838 work by Pierce Egan the Younger in England. The book is symbolic, as Hugo must avoid the "righteous" law enforcement (Inspector Gustave) to live in the station and later to restore the automaton both to a functioning status and to its rightful owner. The particular copy given to Hugo looks like the 1917 English-language edition (David McKay publisher, Philadelphia, United States) with cover and interior illustrations by N.C. Wyeth, but with "Le Proscrit" added to the cover by the prop department. There is also a depiction of the Montparnasse derailment, when at 4 pm on 22 October 1895, the Granville–Paris Express overran the buffer stop at its Gare Montparnasse terminus.

Reception

Box office performance

Hugo earned $15.4 million over its Thanksgiving weekend debut. It went on to earn US$73,864,507 domestically and $111,905,653 overseas, for a worldwide gross of $185,770,160.[3] Despite praise from critics, Hugo was cited as one of the year's notable box-office flops. Its perceived failure was due to competition with Disney's The Muppets and Summit's Breaking Dawn Part 1.[20] The film was estimated to have had a net loss of $100 million.[21] Producer Graham King said that the film's box-office results were painful. "There's no finger-pointing—I'm the producer and I take the responsibility," he said. "Budget-wise, there just wasn't enough prep time and no one really realized how complicated doing a 3D film was going to be. I went through three line-producers because no one knew exactly what was going on. Do I still think it's a masterpiece that will be talked about in 20 years? Yes. But once the schedule started getting out of whack, things just spiraled and spiraled and that's when the avalanche began."[22]

Critical reception

The film currently holds a 94% "Certified Fresh" rating on aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes based on 213 reviews, with an average score of 8.3/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Hugo is an extravagant, elegant fantasy with an innocence lacking in many modern kids' movies, and one that emanates an unabashed love for the magic of cinema."[23] Metacritic gave the film an average score of 83 out of 100, based on 41 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[24]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four out of four stars, saying that the film "...is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic in 3-D, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life. We feel a great artist has been given command of the tools and resources he needs to make a movie about—movies."[25] Peter Rainer of The Christian Science Monitor gave it a "B+" grade and termed it as "an odd mixture: a deeply personal impersonal movie" and concluded that "Hugo is a mixed bag but one well worth rummaging through."[26] Christy Lemire said that the film had an "abundant love of the power of film; being a hardcore cinephile (like Scorsese) might add a layer of enjoyment, but it certainly isn't a prerequisite for walking in the door" besides being "slightly repetitive and overlong".[27] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune give it three stars and described it as "rich and stimulating even when it wanders," explaining "every locale in Scorsese's vision of 1931 Paris looks and feels like another planet. The filmmaker embraces storybook artifice as wholeheartedly as he relays the tale's lessons in the importance of film preservation."[28] Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal said that Hugo "visually [...] is a marvel, but dramatically it's a clockwork lemon".[29]

Hugo was selected for the Royal Film Performance 2011 with a screening at the Odeon, Leicester Square, in London on 28 November 2011 in the presence of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in support of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund.[30] Richard Corliss of Time named it one of the Top 10 Best Movies of 2011, saying that "Scorsese's love poem, rendered gorgeously in 3-D, restores both the reputation of an early pioneer and the glory of movie history—the birth of a popular art form given new life through a master's application of the coolest new techniques".[31] James Cameron called Hugo "a masterpiece" and that the film "had the best use of 3D [he] had seen," surpassing even his own acclaimed films.[32]
