Abstract

This chapter considers Selznickā€™s use of the orphan plot in The Invention of Hugo Cabret (2007), Wonderstruck (2011), and The Marvels (2015), and then focuses on Wonderstruck and The Marvels, which structurally take a more sophisticated approach to intergenerational relationships, juxtaposing and interweaving stories focalized through different generational perspectives to demonstrate intergenerational solidarity.
