Review: ‘Hugo’ the movie is great movie about movies

By Luke Matos, Staff Reporter

The movie “Hugo” is about a kid named Hugo. Hugo and his dad are fixing an automaton. An automaton is a robot that can write. Magicians use automatons.

When Hugo and his dad are finished, his dad is killed in a fire. Hugo still wants to work on the automaton. But he needs the key to make it work.

After his dad dies, Hugo is taken by his uncle to a train station in Paris. Hugo’s uncle leaves, and a man named Georges Melies takes Hugo’s notebook with the automaton sketches. After that, Hugo meets Melies’ daughter Isabelle.

This is when the movie gets real good!

Isabelle has the key, but Hugo doesn’t know. Then Isabelle gives Hugo the key. When Hugo inserts the key, the automaton starts to draw a moon with a rocket in the moon’s eye.

That’s the first movie my dad and I ever saw, Hugo yells out. Hugo and Isabelle go to the library and they find out Melies made the movie and is famous moviemaker.  “Hugo” the movie is a great movie about movies.
