Wow, this movie really surprised and had a great story line. There is a piece that I researched that is true but I do not want to elaborate b/c I don't want to spoil the movie. It was warm, poetic, and a richly woven tale with a great ending! I hope it wins at least one award...very different from what we normally see at the movies. Great Cinematography!

I underestimated this movie. I saw the trailer and thought "eh." Then I took a chance and saw it and wasn't disappointed at all. It used the 3D technology superlatively and the story just reveled in the art of escape. It said volumes about Scorsese, not only as a director, but a preservationist, who not only pays homage to one of the premiere film pioneers but sends a message about the effort of preserving and renewing amazing early films. The story was gorgeously and intelligently crafted. Using the story of a boy who lives in the walls of a train station to become something more was wonderfully done. The cast was incredible. Butterfield, Kingsley, Moretz, Baron Cohen, were all so electric and driven. The direction was sublime. This was definitely Scorsese's best work yet. I would be shocked if this didn't earn a Best Picture nomination.
