- That kid with his eyes reminds me of Elijah Wood. He's got the talent like Elijah, too.
- I'm not one of those Scorcese fans that wants to watch his films over and over again, and at the beginning of the movie, I thought that maybe this would be the case once more. But no. This one is lighter than his usual dark stuff, so I would see it again.
- All of that clockwork stuff amazed me visually. So did all of that beautiful cinematography.
- The automaton kind of creeped me out, especially during the dream sequences.
- Spotted Martin Scorcese and giggled. Thought I saw Johnny Depp, but APPARENTLY, that was a lookalike, as Johnny wasn't available due to his schedule.
- I love the way that this is clearly a tribute to film, and I loved the silent movie homage with the hanging from the clock. It also reminded me of "Back to the Future", but I don't think that's what Scorcese meant to do.
- Reading as much as Isabelle does makes her have quite a large and interesting vocabulary. I liked her a lot.
- I liked the way that Hugo talked about existing to serve a purpose, just like each piece in a machine.
- How can I not like a movie that has a reference to Jean Valjean, mermaids, and Camille Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre"?
- It's nice to see Christopher Lee in a non-sinister role, although at first glance, I thought of Saruman.
- Ben Kingsley was amazing, as usual.
- "Which one? I've mastered 3."
Beautiful movie. I'm glad that I saw it in the theater, despite my initial resistance to it.
