What drivel. To love another person is to see the face of God???? Really? How Christian or Biblical is that??? Not at all. It does fit in nicely with the Buddhists and other such folks who believe that God is in everything and everyone.
While their are Christian ideas in Hugo’s work the movie spends too much time glorifying the revolution (as did the musical). The revolution is nothing more than left wing communism. There is nothing in the musical’s progressively that acknowledges the devastation that this novel speaks of. Hugo told a far different talethan either B’way or Hollyweird
Doesn’t matter to me. lol Anne Hathaway is in it; that is a deal breaker to me. Much like anything with Matt Damon or Sean Penn et al.
They could give away the tickets for all I care. The movie has been made several times in the past and was fairly good. Like most remakes, the re-makers are trying to sell the idea that their version is much better than the previous ones. In most cases, the only thing bigger is their egos and the only thing better is screen resolution. And as for being a musical, maybe they should have hired non-stutterers who can say the lines rather than have to sing them.
