Hugo

I loved Martin Scorsese's films. He captures emotions and reminiscence to great levels. Initially thought that Hugo would be an animation but he gelled stunning animated surroundings to real life.

Hugo is our titular character whose father died in a museum explosion. Hugo is unable to complete the mysteries of an automaton with his father. He was brought in to his drunken uncle to live and work in the clock tower of the train station Gare Montparnasse where he continues to repair and solve the mysteries of the automaton.

With help from Isabelle whom he met at the train station, they managed to uncover the mysteries of the automaton which leads to another great adventure.

This would be my second movie in 2012 where a father had left his child with a mystery to uncover. As the show progresses, a different turn of events occurs. It was heartwarming and emotional roller-coaster for the character that Mr. Scorsese managed to capture greatly.
