Hugo (film)/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * Hugo was designed to be shown in 3-D, which, when done well, can make audiences feel like they're part of the action or even give them a sense of peril. The movie also pays tribute to the early days of film, when moving pictures such as A Train Arrives in the Station and The Great Train Robbery were shockingly realistic to viewers. One scene shows audiences jumping in their seats to avoid a train that is seemingly coming toward them.
 * The movie's tagline is, "One of the most legendary directors of our time takes you on an extraordinary adventure." It seems like this is supposed to be emphasizing Martin Scorsese's involvement to sell tickets, but when you think about it,.

Fridge Horror

 * The movie takes place in 1931. Assuming that there isn't going to be Alternate History and most of the characters intend to stay in France, what's going to happen to Hugo and friends in the 1940's?.
 * Georges Méliès died in 1938 according to The Other Wiki. The others are a matter for Wild Mass Guessing. The Actor Rule doesn't bode well for Hugo...
