WHAT IS THE MESSAGE
OF THE FILM FOR YOU?
EVERYONE AS THEIR OWN PURPOSE.
The film Hugo (2011) is a reminder to its
audience that everyone has its purpose
in this world. Some may try to run away
from their purpose in life, just like what
Georges Méliès did in the film, but in the
end what is meant to be their purpose will
always find its way back to them.
SOMEONE APPRECIATES YOU.
The film was also trying to convey the strong
emotion of appreciation to the viewers. In the
film, protagonist Hugo expressed his
appreciation to the second main character
Isabelle. While Isabelle, Hugo, Mama Jeanne and
others found appreciation in the works of Papa
Georges, despite him not seeing the beauty in
his work.
