I saw Hugo last Friday, liked it so much, saw it again Sunday..

I think it is a wonderful movie.

It is not really a kid's movie, although it is being marketed that way.
It is a wonderful drama involving some very interesting people and circumstances.
Takes place in Paris, 1930.
10 to 11 year old boy lives in a train station. He keeps the clocks working.
Trains coming and going..running on time, loud, surging people runing to get them.
Loud, pulsing, and radiating life.
Yet, there is a mystery here, something unique and wonderful..

(See it in 3D if you can, best there is, but it is not about that)

And .. this movie is not really about trains, or stations, or even clocks..It is about Hugo and the people he meets and
what happens then. I really thinks this is a very special movie.
As FSogol.. said about "The Artist" I didn't know they made them like this anymore..

Anyone else see it??
