Hugo Cabret

Tonight I went to go see the new movie Hugo Cabret. It was quite a good movie! The cinematography was amazing! During one of my favorite scenes, two of the main characters are standing inside a clock tower, looking out over the city. The lights of the buildings and the falling snow created a magical scene. The special effects were very well done also! I have read the book, which includes illustrations, and I noticed that the actors picked to play the main characters looked very similar to the drawings of them in the book. The actor who played Hugo covered the part very well. The actress who played his friend did slightly worse at times, but her performance was still great. The plot was like that of the book, with a few side plots added. These extra plots added to the story and helped with character development. The actors and the characters they played were all realistic and likable. The angles of the camera were amazing and added to the magic of the movie. The make-up and set design were thought out, the design especially. All in all, the movie was amazing, and I would certainly recommend seeing it!
