Hugo

Hugo, sebuah film yang diangkat dari buku cerita karya Brian Selznick dengan judul "The Invention of Hugo Cabret". Great movie! =)

 

Hugo Cabret: Can we fix him?
Hugo's father: Oh, I don't know, Hugo. He's badly rusted and finding parts to fit will be very hard.
Hugo's father: Of course we can fix him. We're clock makers, aren't we?

Hugo Cabret: Monsieur Labisse gave me a book the other night.

Isabelle: He's always doing that. Sending books to a good home, that's what he calls it.
Hugo Cabret: He's got real...purpose.
Isabelle: What do you mean?
Hugo Cabret: Everything has a purpose, even machines. Clocks tell the time, trains take you places. They do what they're meant to do, like Monsieur Labisse. Maybe that's why broken machines make me so sad, they can't do what they're meant to do. Maybe it's the same with people. If you lose your purpose, it's like you're broken.

 

Hugo Cabret: What an idiot! Thinking I could fix it!
Isabelle: Hugo.
Hugo Cabret: It's broken! It's always been broken!
Isabelle: Hugo, it doesn't have to be like this. You can fix it.
Hugo Cabret: You don't...you don't understand. I thought if I could fix it I wouldn't be so alone.
Isabelle: Hugo! Hugo look! Look, it's not done! It's not done!
Hugo Cabret: It's not writing, it's drawing!

Hugo Cabret: Right after my father died, I would come up here a lot. I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason too.

(Words of wisdom from Hugo Cabret. He is on Earth for a reason, even if he's not sure yet what that reason is...)

Georges Méliès: My life has taught be one lesson, Hugo, and not the one I thought it would. Happy endings only happen in the movies.
Hugo Cabret: The story's not over yet.

Once upon a time, I met a boy named Hugo Cabret. He lived in a train station. Why did he live in a train station? You might well ask. That's really what this book is going to be about. And about how this singular young man searched so hard to find his secret message from his father and how that message led his way all the way home.

Di penghujung film, kalimat inilah yang terbesit dalam benak saya:

Bila yang mati saja tercipta untuk suatu fungsi atau tujuan dan ketika rusak masih dapat diperbaiki, bukankah terlebih lagi ciptaan-Nya yang hidup?
