own world. That being said, there are bad movies, the kinds of movies that make you want to gouge out your eyes, plug your ears, and lock yourself in a Turkish prison for the remainder of your cold, dead life. When I see an ad for a new movie on television and it doesn't appeal to my pseudo elitist taste, I immediately shut it out completely. Hugo was one of those movies; it appeared to me to be a simple child…

Movies have come a long way from the black and white and no sound. It seems as if each decade movies have evolved and with that comes issues.

The film score by Ennio Morricone is so important to the film that it is the main focus of some of the scenes. The dialogue in this film appears to be lacking. In the excerpt of the movie there is very little dialogue and when there is it’s kept short and to the point. The music fills in the long gaps between conversations. The first music that is heard is a soft guitar melody. It is…
