The new action and science fiction film, Hugo, raised many questions and sparked
interest in those who have gone to see this film. Questions such as, “Is it
really okay to dangle a boy from a clock tower and record it because he won’t
read his lines right?” Or ones such as, “Do you really think a boy could die
from being whacked in the head with a wooden board for not cooperating on set?”
One concerned mother had to ask after seeing this film. Well considering that
most people came to see this film for that one particular scene, the answer
must be yes! At least that’s what most of the kids who saw this movie had to
say. Young John Kelsey in the 2nd grade had to say this after
catching the film with his parents and not so supportive older brother: “Dangling
from a clock tower looks like fun! Maybe my dad will let me try doing that from
his shed.” Unfortunately that’s all we got out of the kid before his mother
pulled him away and his brother punched our recorder in the nuts before
threatening to throw the rest of us off a cliff into the jagged rocks jutting
out of the Atlantic Ocean just like in the movie. Which was also a very
exciting scene, some people had to say.
Audience
members were shocked and moved to tears while watching this film, most likely
due to the fact that it was mostly a movie about antagonizing and torturing a
young actor. But hey let’s just forget to censor that and let kids go and see
it right? Apparently, that’s what the director had in mind. “I wanted the movie
to have a certain […] feel to it. I wanted the audience to be on the edge of
their seats. Now could you please untie me and let me go?” Director Martin
Scorsese had to say. Well, that’s all we have to say on this movie. If the cops
ask if you’ve seen us, tell them that that one kid got to us first. Stay tuned
for next month’s movie review.
