HUGO - The Movie Rocks By Objectivist Standards.

The movie is quite good by Objectivist standards. The story - full of brilliant minds, and cool machines, and a love of machines, books and people of action, and heroism, and fighting bad guys. Just like the Ayn Rand fans should be. And the movie making - *superb*. Martin Scorsese did an *amazing job*. Acting is wonderful too.

If you have seen it, or read the book, chime in.

Again, this is not an Objectivist work; it is overwhelmingly good, but not “perfect” so let’s focus on the good qualities here.

I was thoroughly bored while watching it, I thought it took too long to get going. Although thinking back, you’re right about the values.
