Hugo (2011)

Share this quote on facebook [to Isabelle] 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.

Share this quote on facebook Maybe that's why a broken machine always makes me a little sad, because it isn't able to do what it was meant to do... Maybe it's the same with people. If you lose your purpose... it's like you're broken.

Share this quote on facebook Listen to me! Please! Please! Listen to me! You don't understand! You have to let me go! I don't understand, why my father died! Why I'm alone!

Share this quote on facebook My friends, I address you all tonight as you truly are; wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, magicians... Come and dream with me.

Share this quote on facebook Why would my key fit into your father's machine?

Share this quote on facebook This might be an adventure, and I've never had one before - outside of books, at least.

Share this quote on facebook Georges, you've tried to forget the past for so long, but it has caused you nothing but unhappiness. Maybe it's time you tried to remember.

Share this quote on facebook Isabelle: We could get into trouble!
Hugo: That's how you know it's an adventure.

Share this quote on facebook Hugo: [angry and disappointed that the automaton hasn't written anything of sense] What an idiot! Thinking I could fix it!
Isabelle: Hugo...
[Hugo loses his composure and desperately begins smashing various items in the room.]
Hugo: It's broken! It's always been broken! [sits in chair, covers his face and begins to cry]
Isabelle: Hugo, it doesn't have to be like this. You can fix it.
Hugo: [crying] You don't... you don't understand. I thought... I thought if I could fix it... then I wouldn't be so alone.
[Hugo's sobs fill the room. Suddenly, the machine begins to draw again.]
Isabelle: Hugo, Hugo look! It... it's not done!
[The two watch as the automaton begins to draw a picture.]
Hugo: [voice breaking] It's not writing! It... it's drawing!
[They see it is a scene from the movie "A Trip to the Moon."]
Hugo: That's the movie my father saw! [the automaton signs Georges Méliès' name]
Isabelle: [amazed] Georges Méliès. That's Papa Georges name. Why would your father's machine sign Papa Georges' name?
Hugo: I don't know. [picks up drawing and looks at robot] Thank you. [turns to Isabelle] It was a message from my father. And now I have to figure it out.

Share this quote on facebook Mama Jeanne/Jeanne d'Alcy: Stop it, Georges! Stop it! This is your work!
Papa Georges/Georges Méliès: MY WORK?! What am I? Nothing but a penniless merchant, a broken windup toy!

Share this quote on facebook Papa Georges/Georges Georges Méliès: I trusted you. This is how you thank me. You're cruel. Cruel.

Share this quote on facebook Isabelle: I should get back.
Hugo: Okay.

Share this quote on facebook Isabelle: Thank you... for the movie today. It... It was a gift.

Share this quote on facebook The idea of a little boy living in the walls, sliding in and out of the innards of these clocks. It’s like people living in the ceiling of Grand Central Station, looking out through the painting of stars.

Share this quote on facebook Well, “Hugo” is not really a fantasy film. It’s not a “Chronicles of Narnia” or a “Harry Potter” or “Lord of the Rings” type of fantasy. I would define that kind of fantasy as having viscerality. You’re intended to perceive events or people as very, very real. A dragon appears outside a window, and you can imagine it coming into the room, with blue flames and beautiful green emeralds for eyes.
