I saw Hugo today and really enjoyed it.
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..

But 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.

Anyone else see it??

1. Great book, too

I'm reading it with my 9 year old daughter - it's definitely a kids' book - and it's terrific.

You should see the illustrations!
