Soaring so high!

I watched Hugo in 3D. The effects are stunning. The film is based on actual people and events in Paris.
It draws inspiration from the rediscovery of Georges Mélies, a famous turn of twentieth-century film pioneer.
There is a little artistic licence, however. The film recreates a famous train crash which occurred at Montparnasse in 1895. Georges Mélies wasn't rediscovered until thirty years later.
