In case you had any doubts, the same applies to Scorsese, whose unquestioned purpose in life since his sickly boyhood has been to consume, live, breath and, ultimately, create films. Hugo has transposed his mechanical knowledge onto the world he watches unfold from behind the clock faces - every person has a purpose in the machine, the world, to which he belongs. With no one to keep him company but a broken automaton left by his deceased father (Jude Law), Hugo maintains the stationвЂ™s many clocks, which keep the passengers and trains on schedule. ItвЂ™s this reassurance that keeps Hugo, the orphaned son of a clockmaker, from total despair while secretly living within the walls of a 1930s Paris train station. ThereвЂ™s something innately satisfying about the clicking and turning sounds of the clockwork gears at the center of Martin ScorseseвЂ™s fantastical film вЂњHugo,вЂќ based on Brian Selznick popular childrenвЂ™s book вЂњThe Invention of Hugo Cabret.вЂќ TheyвЂ™re a reminder that everything is in working order, that every piece is in its place, every movement is purposeful and, when it comes right down to it, itвЂ™s all part of a machine that we control - assuming weвЂ™re as mechanically inclined as the 12-year-old Hugo (Asa Butterfield).
