Intelligent Designer

Last night, Linda and I went to see a great family movie about discovering the purpose of your life. It was the movie “Hugo.” In the movie, a young boy who has no parents secretly keeps the clocks running in the Paris train station.
The three main characters are Hugo, a policeman (constable) in the train station who chases down ragamuffins and sends them to an orphanage, and a former great movie director whose sense of purpose in life is comatose.
The movie is about ‘our past and our purpose.’
Hugo – Because of something that happened in the past, Hugo was doubtful about his actions and life having purpose. He is trying to reconstruct and automaton (robot) that he and his father were fixing before his father died in a fire.
The constable – Because of something that happened in his past, he misunderstood his purpose. He thought it was to limit the train station to bare essential. It is a place to get on or off the train. No room for smiles. No room for children. No room for love. No room for purpose.
The former Hollywood movie director – Because of something that happened in his past, he thought his life had no purpose.
Hugo, in persistently continuing to search for his own purpose, resurrected the life-purpose of both of the other men. That is how it is. One person who discovers her or his purpose in life becomes a catalyst to others living purposefully.
Every part in the automaton had a function that made it work. Every person on the earth has a function that matters. The key to ‘awakening’ the automaton was a heart-shaped key. I believe the key to awakening any person is a heart shaped key.
By the way, knowingly or not, the movie makes a case for Intelligent Design. Clocks don’t just happen without a Designer, and they don’t keep working without a Maintainer.
