The reason why Hugo and Isabelle became good friend was that Hugo needed Isabelle's help and he might be attracted her personality which tends to be admired “adventure”. For her, Hugo was very mysterious person because he lived in the station hidden from a station inspector, and his desire seemed to involve adventure. Additionally, her childhood seemed not to have dreaming aspects because of her substitute father. Thus, she were very curious about Hugo and inspired by him.

The automaton is the key to solve a message from Hugo’s father who is dead by being perished and it may relate to “fixing”. Since he and his father tried to fix automaton, he was eager to achieve to fix it. He leads Georges Méliès to reminiscence his dream by showing Georges’s crystal of dreaming. I love the setting because I like the time which makes me feel the time passed is very slow. Moreover, the film shows us beautiful dreams and fixing people’s heart, so I was moved very much.

Teacher's note: Thank you author for such a touching reminiscence of Hugo, a personal-favorite movie, and surely one of the best by Martin Scorsese. Now let's hear what other authers have to say.

Hugo lived in the station and tried to fix the automaton which was key of this movie. He often pilfer parts of automaton from toy store. However, one day, he was noticed by the owner of this store, and he was robbed parts and pocket note book. He required Isabelle’s help to get back them. When he asked her about assistance, she [became] interested in his action. This is because she could not spend her time like him before. That is why Hugo and Isabelle became good friends and they had a splendid time. For example, they sneaked into the movie theater.

I was afraid that Hugo would be caught by station’s officer few times while I was watching this movie. However, I was touched by this story because I could get to know the consideration of each person. Also, I felt that this boy was courageous man because he kept trying to achieve his desire.

Since Isabelle has a great deal of curiosity, she grants cooperation for Hugo who tries to fix mechanical man which his father left. Interacting with Hugo, Isabelle feels he is going to change a something in her ordinal life in a good way. From the view of Hugo, Isabelle is an only person who he can share feelings such as joyful and sadness. That can be the reason why they become good friends.

The automaton is central to the story because he connects the past and the present world. The automaton is the key to find out several secrets: Hugo believes the automaton has a message from Hugo`s father, who died due to the fire, however, Isabelle and Hugo gradually find that Isabelle`s father, Georges Méliès, must be related to the automaton. Moreover, the existence of the automaton become the trigger to make differences in people`s lives who live in the current world.

In the movie, Hugo tells Isabelle that he depresses when he sees broken machine because they cannot do what they meant do. From Hugo`s perspective, Georges Méliès needs “fix” as same as broken machine. Through letting him face the past that he avoids to remember, Hugo tries to fix him.

It was a touching movie. Everyone is going to be happy in the end of the story, and the story teaches us the importance of taking action. I want to have courage to take action like Hugo.

If I needed to describe this movie with one word, it would be "classical." This is because I felt that the movie's colors were not vivid and it was like relaxed atmosphere. I like this kind of movie because I usually watch movies which use vivid and colorful effects.

Hugo meets a girl who lives with Papa George. The girl's name is Isabelle, and she is really curious about secrets and treasure things. By spending time with her, Hugo tries to understand George and his dark and miserable history. At first, Hugo dislikes George because Hugo thinks his important notebook was burned by George. I do not want to give away the ending, but what I can say is that George also has important connections with the notebook, and he is not just a mean old mechanical man.

Another important person is the station inspector. At the begining of this film, he seems to be vicious. However, his mind changes by talking and staying with the flower lady. At the ending, he does a big crucial action, but I will not reveal it, so I recommend you watch this movie at least once.

Teacher's note: I hope this author takes note of my insertions into this well designed essay about such a lovely film. http://www.moviesgrowenglish.com

Hugo and Isabelle became friends because they like to keep secrets. The automaton is important because his is the key to all the secrets in the movie. It was the connection between Hugo and Isabelle.

The automaton contains not only the memory of Hugo's father, but also the secret of Georges Méliès's former experience. It is the key which can solve all puzzles.
This movie is a famous 3D movie. Besides of the striking visual aspect, this movie is also captivating in story. The director of Hugo sends a thank you letter to producers of early motion movies, which shows his appreciation and respect to them. I really enjoy watching this fantastic movie.

All of them, the owner, his wife, his grandchild and even Hugo seems happy.
