Marvelous Movies: Hugo

Adventures are found in movies...



           In my last year of high school, I was captivated by the book called The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. It was the story of a little boy who lost his father in a fire. He was taken in by his drunk uncle to be his apprentice at the train station changing clocks. The young boy’s dream is to fix the automaton and figure out the message his father has left for him. The book is filled with illustrations and short chapters that leave you unable to put the book down.

                  When I heard the rumors about they were turning the book into a movie, it was bittersweet. The book had left me dreaming and I had entered the world of clocks with Hugo; would the movie ruin my vision?
                  Martin Scorsese seemed to have the same vision I did, if not better. While watching the movie, I had no other option but to feel the emotions of the war veteran who was twiterpated by the florist or the anger and pain of the orphan boy who lost his father’s last treasure. All the way down to the film scores, I felt like I was in Paris.
                  The cast and crews attention to detail is what brought this story to life. I was not the only one who noticed the beauty of this movie. Hugo was nominated for 11 Oscars. It won Art Direction, Cinematography, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Visual Effects. 

    I suggest that anyone should go see this film. It is simply beautiful.

My name is...

   
     My name is Taylor Alison. I am a senior at John Brown University and I am currently studying Journalism. I plan on graduating this December so I can start my masters degree in Business Administration at University of Arkansas.

     I enjoy meeting new people. For me it is one of the greatest things I can do in a day. God made his creations unique and to meet a someone new is an awesome experience. I am involved in our student ambassador program at John Brown University. I get to inform prospective students about JBU and learn a little bit about them.

     I love to watch new movies and old movies. Pretty much any genre will fit my fancy. Hopefully I will be able to review a few of my favorite movies and maybe some upcoming movies. I love movies that are based on true stories and football movies like Remember the Titans.

     These are just the musings from a journalist.
