Crazy how he can make some of the violent gangster movies out there, and under his belt, he also made romance and even a family picture like Hugo. Some people even consider this movie a Christmas movie!! Martin Scorcese is a genius, and i'm glad this film is getting the recognition it truly deserves!!!
Imagine how it must have felt to sit there at the toy store every single day, hearing the "click clack" of the shoe heels that used to be his movies. Every day. Hearing the sound of his failure. Damn.
R A V E N It has aged decently! The first time I saw it was at age 19 about to graduate high school with my dad. I waited four months after Hugo’s release in theaters to watch it while it was still playing in 3D. The Oscar wins finally convinced me. Hugo is still a thing of pure beauty
I remember watch this at 9 and I was amazed, here I am 9 years later taking an appreciation of cinema class where we watch all these old movies and analyze them for similarities and differences.
He would later be tracked down in his old age and awarded the greatest possible award a civilian could receive by the French government. He was truly one of the last great artists.
That’s heartbreaking! And it was already heartbreaking to begin with already but that right there makes it a level of sadness that I didn’t think possible!
I watched this specific scene in film school when we were learning about film history. This scene genuinely made me appreciate film history and preservation more than I ever did.
Reminds me of a great line from the 1996 movie The Empty Mirror “Film is the magician’s mirror, it is the first art form in human history that allows the artist to project his dreams and fantasies into the inner life of the viewer.”
I watched Hugo a few weeks ago, with Ben Kingsley playing Georges Melies, and the following day watched the movie Gandhi, with Kingsley playing Gandhi. He 'is' Gandhi in that film. Ben Kingsley is still one of the best actors on screen today.
Manuel Orozco if you like Ben Kingsley you should watch shutter island! It’s directed by Scorsese too, who of course directs this movie too. If you’re concerned about the violence; yes they’re are a quite a few graphic scenes so maybe ask someone who’s seen it if they think it’ll be ok for you
@@aidanbarnes4290 But still, it's not as most talk about as other Scorsese movies. When it comes to Scorsese, people mostly talk about like The Wolf of Wall Street, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, but despite winning some Oscars, this, Shutter Island, and Silence deserves more talks
@@estebangrijalva2443 And it is worse and ironical if you know that he came from a family who had a shoe company which he was going to inherit a part of it, but decided to renounce to all that, his family legacy and gave it to his brother just to follow his true calling, passions and dreams.
For those of you who wants to know the song at 6:03, it's (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Erik Satie Gnossienne No. 1 and at 4:01 the score is Gnossienne No. 7 Erik Satie
Same here. I had put this on for my little sister, once this part creeped up I was glued to the screen. The best part of the film. To see them capturing his passion, from a time where everything was so new and pure... It was an amazing time to come upon an outlet of creativity like THAT. They really have us understanding what it all meant to him.
Scorsese has made only five or so gangster movies. It's kind of sad when some people think he's one note because Scorsese has one of the most varied filmographies for a director. The last decade alone we've had Shutter Island,Hugo, TWOWS, Silence and The Irishman.
I've been a movie lover all my life, but it wasn't until I was 12 years old, when this movie came out, and I saw this movie and especially this scene in particular inspired me to learn and study more about the history of film.
I know how you feel. It took me four months to finally see the movie while they were 3D screenings left. The Oscars it took home convinced me. And then this beautiful scene came on. I was so amazed
“Film is the magician’s mirror, it is the first art form in human history that allows the artist to project his dreams and fantasies into the inner life of the viewer.”
I love this movie so much, but this scene in particular I come back to watch it every few months. Scorsese really created a beautiful time machine for us to use to go back in time and see how cinema started!
Matthew Jimenez The cinema is like an amusement park. Where the kids movie is the dark kiddie ride or merry go round, the superhero or action flick is the roller coaster and the comedy is the wet wild ride offering rivers of laughter
Reminds me of a great line from the 1996 movie The Empty Mirror “Film is the magician’s mirror, it is the first art form in human history that allows the artist to project his dreams and fantasies into the inner life of the viewer.”
This is a wonderful history lesson on the beginning of film to anyone who loves movies. This is the kind of movie that needs to be show in film school. Even though critics and award shows applauded the movie, it didn't do well at the box office. And that's too bad. It's a wonderful film and one of Scorsese's greatest achievements. Maybe people weren't ready for him to family movies.
And yet of all the craziest things I ever did, i waited four months to see it while it was still playing on 3D screens. Oscar Night convinced me to do it. Instead that Thanksgiving weekend I saw Happy Feet Two in IMAX
@@manuelorozco7760 Nice. At the time, I didn't know what Hugo was about or who Martin Scorsese is until I saw the film in class twice. Also, good to hear from you, man.
This movie was magic, from story to casting, the heart of wonder and imagination are captured in this movie, what it really takes to make a good movie, like a young Peter Jackson who fell in love with the books of the Lord of the rings, he hoped someday someone would make a movie from these books, and he didn't realise he was meant to be, the someone 💞🌟✌️.
I'm taking media tech at school and I've been learning about filmmaking's history. I've even learned about the Lumiere brother's first filmmaking machines. Throughout Spring Break, i'm going to give this film another shot.
my first Scorsese picture (I saw this film when it came out and I also too young for his other films, obviously) and one of my absolute favorites from him.
legofanguyvid I am nowadays drawn to a movie for the story, brand and star power more so than the spectacle. Hugo offers more than just old fashioned spectacle. It also offers us a history lesson in the midst of this touching Depression Cinderella Story with surprising scope and complexity.
The movie can maybe feel a little slow for some, but holy sweet damn does it capture the history and wonder so fantasticall. the automaton and recreations are a work of art in of themself
In 1952, the French director George Franju made a short biography of Melies. Not only did he have onscreen appearances by Meiles' widow, he did recreations of Melies's work with Melies' son, Andre Melies, portraying his father. "Le grand Melies" from 1952 - it's worth looking for.
(in my opinion.) This is why propaganda, journalism, and perhaps reality it self should not interfere with the dreams and creative imagination that is movies, or perhaps storytelling in any medium. That said, even criticisms play there role in shaping what can be said and what needs to be said through films, books, paintings ect. And this scene demonstrates the rise and fall of one's will to share his perspective on what life's meaning could be.
Just watched this film on HBO. I was intrigued by the title and once I started watching it, I just cannot stop until the very end. Superb direction and acting, I recommend it to everyone who love good suspenseful movies.
People here are like “wooooow this movie is truly and underrated masterpiece". Still a great movie And then I'm here like “at 1:44, imagine showing those same people the first opening sequence of Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith, with even the movie speakers" l guarantee you their minds will be blown by the sheer experience they will remember
Honestly, after learning about the theater scene it's sad how the truth was that honestly, he was barely making ends meet his entire career. WW1 was just the thing that broke him.
@@littletraveller5428 He didnt actually. He got them confiscated by the French Army to melt down during the war. He burnt down most of his origins later after his studio got take over by Pathé following a bad business decision.
Everything begin on "la belle epoque" era on 1890s that make george inspired on movies picture, (From the lumiere brothers) But everything change on 1914 when WW1 happen.
I watched this movie in February I think in 2018. I enjoyed it. I love old silent movies. The part with the robot drawing with the fountain pen is so good. And I like their coats and outfits in the movie.
read some of the comments here ---- recalling my December 2011 trip to Ft Lauderdale at an Air BNB where i stayed the night before my cruise ship trip the next day --- speaking with the hostess--- the topic of conversation rolled around to movies and thehistory of cinema and i mentioned the Lumiere Brothers --- her middle aged eyes lit up --- repeat what you said --- i said the Lumiere Brothers --- ah !!! she said, you must see this film "Hugo" it's still playing in the theaters --- i saw it---- excellent
What a nice movie, obviously it always tells the story with few changes, as for example, his film projector, he bought it to David Devant. It was a Theatrograph made by R. W Paul. Then by 1896 the theater Robert Houdin was showing his first films
You stopped just before Georges says happy endings only happen in the movies. How dare you? Other than that, this looks so beautiful for a history lesson on silent movies. Netflix sent me to this scene. George’s story reminds me a bit of Doc Hudson in Cars 1. Where at first grew bitter about his glory days but then learned to open back up again when the protagonist needs help the most. This takes me back to my senior year of HS! I’ve seen this stunning film 5 or 6 times in the last eight years.
This is Martin Scorcesse's way of expressing his love and passion for film making.
And Martin Scorsese himself at 2:28

@dreemurrkid1183😅
They no longer use film to make show heels anymore thank god, cause some of Melies’ films were lost forever, thankfully most of them survived
Eventually those shoes would've been replaced
" I fell in love with that invention, how could I not be a part of it?" damn. That line hit me hard
sad that only few appreciate this movie. This is beautiful

That’s heartbreaking! And it was already heartbreaking to begin with already but that right there makes it a level of sadness that I didn’t think possible!
My most favorite part of the movie right there.
my favorite part as well. they really captured the feel of the silent film era. excellent movie, Hugo, is. :)

A masterpiece of the cinema. when you see this movie, you can understand how fell in love was and is Martin for the movies.

One of Martin Scorsese's most underappreciated films...because it's Scorsese being less gangster and more Tim Burton.
This is much lighter than Tim Burton
It would’ve been awesome for them to collaborate because it definitely screams Tim Burton

Recently saw this movie on Netflix. I know it was made with 3D camera, but really without 3D this movie is still a masterpiece
These people were the true heroes and pioneers of cinema making
Ben Kingsley was the perfect actor for this role.
Definitely makes up for bloodrayne
Yeah and he's the only actor Scorsese considered to play Melies
Half a decade later and I'm still astounded Ben Kingsley didn't sweep the Supporting awards for this film.

"Movies where only a passing fad. Saw no future in it."

thanks
Honestly, after learning about the theater scene it's sad how the truth was that honestly, he was barely making ends meet his entire career. WW1 was just the thing that broke him.
I remember seeing this in theaters I don’t think movies would exist the way they do today if it wasn’t for this magician
It took me four months to do so. And I didn’t think the second half of it would blow me away.
Man making silent films must've been so much fun.
Any sort of special effects must have blown away audiences in the early days of film
4:44 The stop trick. Once upon a time, people believed in magic because of it. Too bad it doesn't have the same impact now.
Ben Kingsley did a Great Job in this Movie playing George Miles in Hugo.
This is my favorite part of the movie.
One of my all time fav, especially this scene
I love the history of movies. His name is George melies.
What is the name of the melody, which starts at 2:24?
One of my Favorite movie ever. ❤️
Amo irracionalmente está película 🖤
...oh how I wish I could be a part of this, the early days of movie making
It's ironic that before, when I was a kid I didn't felt much but now that I'm older I loose about 10 liters of water through my eyes.
I really Love that scene of Martin Scorsese himself being the cameraman photographing Melies and his studio.
I think the movie was majestic wonderfull work of art in and of itself.
Como não amar uma obra-prima que esse Filme é, espetacular ❤❤❤
