Movie Review II

The Long Rock heard of a movie that is up for Academy Awards and normally I strongly dislike what the Academy likes. 

 I will say that one movie I hope the Academy will be merciful with and that is a movie directed by Martin Scorsese and written by John Logan and Brain Selznick (who wrote the book)

 This is a family movie. Children and Adults alike will be intrigued from the moment the movie begins and to the time the movie ends.

Hugo's father and uncle were clock makers. Their father were before them. Left to his uncle's care when his father and mother had died, Hugo learns to run the clocks in the Paris Train Station. The only possession left of his father was a notebook and an Automaton. The Automaton needs repaired and a heart shaped key and Hugo is determined to repair it, for he is sure that his father left him a message in the Automaton. 

Hugo chances on a lowly and quiet, yet not very nice  toy shop keeper who very well might hold the key to the mystery of the Automaton.
