Hugo’s family relationship highlights his jealousy for Odin as his own father‚ who is also the coach of the basketball team‚ devotes more time and shows only love for Odin rather than his own son. This is noticeable through the scene when Hugo is having dinner with his parents‚ the close ups on each one’s faces portrays the awkward

When I was little I can remember hating anything to do with reading. I wasn’t very good at it‚ and it just didn’t spark any interest in me. This‚ on top or being pathologically shy‚ didn’t make things any easier. I also wasn’t pushed by anyone to get better; my biological parents never took the time to sit down and help me with my reading.

And it is probably one of the most iconic shots in film history at that‚ paid homage only a few years ago in Martin Scorsese’s visually stunning 2011 film‚ Hugo‚ an adaptation of Brian Selznick’s beautifully illustrated children’s book and tribute to early cinema‚ The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

Lauren Tarshis. I enjoyed the part where Hugo had to protect his friend who was a U.S. spy. He had to distract him so the spy could get away. The reason Hugo was in an area he wasn’t supposed to be was because he was trying to get his sister’s dog for her because she had malaria. There was an evil looking man that caught him and asked why he was in that restricted area. He froze in place and didn’t know what to say‚ but the spy still managed to get away and Hugo got his dog for his sister. I also liked
