Cinema is a mechanical art, Scorsese demonstrates this through the use of technology and machinery in the production of Hugo. These filmmaking techniques convey the idea that living in a world of machines can guide us to find our own purpose in the world. Scorsese crafts this film to explore the rich history of cinema, but also to look to the future of filmmaking. Hugo is scientific, yet magical. Scorsese’s stylistic choices in this film beautifully convey the story he is sharing.
