Hugo Reflection Questions

-
In Hugo, Georges Méliès, who does not want to remember the part of his life where he created fantastic and magical worlds through films, states, “My life has taught me one lesson, Hugo Cabret, and not the one I thought it would. Happy endings only happen in the movies.”
Why does Méliès say this?
He says this because in his films he’s been able to live a fantasy life and love out his dreams, but in real life he is stuck in one place. He feels like he’s accomplished something so great but he’s not able to feel like what he did doesn't get him an own happy ending. He himself can’t live up to his own legacy and have his own happy ending to his own life 
Why does he want to forget about the films he made?
He wants to forget because he wants to live his own life and not live his life three his movies. He wants to live out his own fantasy and it’s hard doing that when he’s stuck in the fantasy of his films. When he has these films and this legacy that follows him he can’t live his own life without being thrown back into the fantasy worlds of his film. He wanted to create his own life. 
Do you think the film Hugo has a happy ending? Why or why not?

The film Hugo has a happy ending, it’s happy because Georges finally feels like his films where really appreciated even today. Hugo finally got to understand and learn more about the backstory to Georges film. Everyone in the movie has a happy ending. The police officer from the film got the lady he liked, Hugo got a home, and Georges and his wife really got to understand that people loved their films.

  For my last film this year, I decided to make a film essay. I liked what Aaron decided to do so I thought I’d give it a try. I decided to do my film essay on the musical genres and film musicals. Since our performance for Cinderella is coming up next week I thought it would be a fun thing to work on something having to do with musicals. I mostly did the research funny enough at free times I had at practice. I thought it would be motivation for me to get my script done. I am worried about finding all the necessary clips I need, but that can easily be fixed with fewer examples. Below I have the introduction to the film essay introducing the topics. Above I then have my storyboard as an outline for how I will structure my video. I will be discussing the musical genre and then musicals in film.
