Hugo, journey into magical fantasy, and synchronicties, when dreams were still believeable and possible at the turn of the 1900's. Its just that kind of uplifting story, where the little girl (or boy) in all of us, can still find hope.
Maybe its because, though i'm not that old, but somehow i could connect to the early years of cinemetic film making, and the magic of stage building, and silent movies, before it all became commercialized, digitalized, super enhanced. Where someone with imagination, and creativity, could play out their dreams on stages and screens, and share that joy and magic with the world, and it wasn't about how much money, resources, education, you had. You just had to dream! "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. And that means you have to be here for some reason too." Despite it's machine and mechanical reference .. this still in its concept an amazingly powerful quote Early on, it's obvious that the film is less about the mechanical man and more about the way broken people sometimes need other people to fix them, how we can all play some part in the lives of others, sometimes without meaning to. …

"Its only 'here' that we lose perspective, out at the Cosmic Consciousness Level things get a lot clearer. For example, there is an actual star pattern that is traced in the shape of a Willow Tree, across the breadth of the Milky Way! And no wonder Indigenous peoples refer to the 'here after' as the Happy Hunting Grounds! Has it ever occured to anyone why the bioluminescence dots, on the Na'vi!"

Honestly, the most epic Christmas movie I've seen thus far. I especially loved the ghost on the train, often referred to as a hobo.
