“Once upon a time, I met a boy named Hugo Cabret. He searched to find a secret message. And how that message led his way, all the way home.” ~ The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Movies I watched in 2012: The Invention of Hugo Cabret

I’d imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn’t be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason.

Hugo: What does he do?

Father: He’s a wind up figure, like a music box. This is the most complicated one I’ve ever seen by far. You see, this one, this one… writes. Magicians used these machines when I was a little boy. Some walked, some danced some sang, but the secret was always in the clockwork.

Hugo: Can we fix it?

Father: Of course we can fix it.
