Hugo Review

Hugo is an artistic film masterpiece by the famed director Martin Scorsese. It is based off of the critically acclaimed bestselling book: The Invention of Hugo Cabaret by Brian Selznick. It features a young orphan boy named Hugo who lives in the walls of a train station winding the clocks every day. He occasionally steals from a cranky old toymaker (a superb performance by Ben Kingsley) in order to fix a mysterious wind-up robot his father brought home as a child, the last memento he had of him. But he must enlist the help of the toymaker’s adventure-seeking god-daughter, Isabelle, so he can find an old secret that holds the significance of vintage filmmaking. Extraordinary director Martin Scorsese wonderfully directs this breathtaking homage to his famed craft: Film.

The World and How We Affect Its Health

We are the users of the world that we have lived on for hundreds of years. Even though we think that everything should be luxury for us, we don’t deserve it. Even now, the fires from many different places and gases are burning through the ozone layer. The ozone layer is a protective filter that surrounds our planet. It is our responsibility to protect the ozone layer. By saving it, we are saving ourselves. See, the ozone layer is what protects us from the harmful waves of the sun. Even though you may think this not true, it is. The sun projects different gasses that the ozone layer blocks. The world is harmed by more than just gas and other pollutants. It is inhabited by us. Humans have evolved from a world with no technology to a world where there seems to be more technology than trees. The world before technology was filled with better wonders than gray, metal cities that are not beautiful to the eye.  The number of trees cut down each year is around 3 billion to 6 billion each year!
