But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric girl and the owner of a small toy booth in the train station, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message all come together to change Hugo's life forever.

Quotes
Add a QuoteHugo Cabret: "Everything has a purpose - even machines... Clocks tell the time... trains take you places... They do what they're meant to do." Isabelle: "Like Monsieur Labisse!" Hugo Cabret: "Maybe that's why broken machines make me so sad... they can't do what they're meant to do... Maybe it's the same with people. If you lose your purpose... it's like you're broken."
HUGO CABRET: 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.

Add a Commentbeautiful movie - the color and details that come off the screen, so cool. it is a moving story, too, with a little history added to it as well. it is based on a book and i recommend to all to read it first. not to say that you will not enjoy this movie if you don't, but it will add to it. i recommend it.
good movie had alot of heart
This heartfelt homage to the early days of film-making is not what wou might expect from Martin Scorcese but well worth watching. It's visually beautiful and it has a good story with characters that you care about. Definitely worth your time.
Wonderful film! Very heartwarming message. The acting was a little cheesy, but it's still enjoyable.
I hate to bash this movie because the story is so good, mixing fact and history into a nice blend. However, the movie is bad. Poor acting, horrible script, it is just BAD.
Beautiful looking film but I found it slow. Also, I saw this with young kids (under the age of 8) and they lost interest very quickly. Film buffs will enjoy the early film references and I liked the visuals but this film is not for all.
Awsome, seen it two times!!
Loved it. Based on some true events with some hollywood imagination on top of that. Great family film!!!
i havent seen the movie yet but it seems to follow the book it was made after which is good
The joy Scorsese derives from cinema is nowhere to be found in this film. Precocious child actors Hugo nearly unwatchable. Consider the plaudits from Hollywood critics - who view Scorsese as sacrosanct - a lifetime achievement award. This was a massive misfire.
