So before I start I want to say that I have seen this movie like a week ago but never got around to doing the blog until now. So the movie was about how the town of Thneedsville (sorry I think I spelt that wrong) has live by breathing "artificial" air. Because of the affects of the Once-ler and his invention, he chopped down all of the trees and so there was no more air left to breath. So the question asked from our teacher was "How does this movie relate to the project?" I believe there are many different answers that could be provided. For example, the Once-ler created an invention called the Thneed, which would help society for the better. That mayor/evil person (sorry I'm really bad with names) created "artificial" air for them to breath, helping society. And the overall message which was that Ted found a seed for a tree and planted it in the middle of the town to help people breath without the artificial air. The thing I learned from this movie was to always help sustain the environment. From the beginning of the movie, the first question that came to mind was "How are they able to breath without trees or plants?". I later learned that they had to pay for their air, which I found to be very cruel... Anyways, I want this project to help provide to people what they need, and without them having to pay for something to survive.
Side notes:
Sorry I have to rant about a few things because I didn't understand some of them...
1. How were they able to find an "artificial" air source and then bottle it? That really didn't make sense, but I guess it is a movie...
2. How are the trees like silk? -___-; It didn't make one sense but I want one either way.
3. If the Lorax was the protector of the forest, why didn't he just shoot down lightning or something to the Once-ler's mansion? But whatever...
Overall I really enjoyed the movie!
One more thing, I saw John Carter as well and I didn't get how he went to Mars and he was stronger than all of them... Mars' gravity is stronger than Earth's therefore, he should be crawling not jumping ten stories... Oh well...
Great manaʻo and I do like that you have many plot holes and questions.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Mars is the same size as Earth, but the gravity is less than we have here. So, he would be stronger, but not as amazingly strong as he seemed in the movie.
