Screenplay by John Logan, based on the book by Brian Selznick; directed by Martin Scorsese
In this clip, Hugo compares the world to a machine, which comes with the perfect amount of parts. If there are no extra parts, then each person must have a specific purpose for being placed in the world.
Doctrine: God’s plan, Argument for God’s existence by design
Audience: Junior high
Use: In explanation of how God creates all men with a specific plan in mind, show clip to students and discuss its relevance. At the same time, being part of God's plan doesn't make Him a "divine clockmaker" who removes Himself from our lives once He sets us into existence. Rather, the metaphor suggests, like Blessed John Henry Newman, that "I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons."
