In fact, it's just that the short comment gave me too few words, so I had to go here to make a short comment. puff

Two interesting points:

(1) The story of the son's pursuit of his father's figure is
very similar to Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close, which is also the meaning of the son's pursuit of the "message" left by his father. It's just that the former, in addition to focusing on his son Hugo, will also extend from the "story of recovery", telling the past film history and George Méliès's dream-seeking journey, and the film runs through Hugo, his father and George Méliès. . The latter expresses that "seeking is actually therapy" - even if the mystery of the information has nothing to do with him or his father, in the process of exploration, the son is actually doing what his father asked him to do and talking to strangers. . This is a good way to remember and heal.

(2) Comparison of old and new movies
Although this movie has the feeling of showing off stunts, it is a little interesting when today's new movies are juxtaposed with old movies that require manual coloring.

    I thought it was a fantasy film, but at the end I realized it was a tribute film.
