#7 The Lorax

"UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not." - Dr.Seuss

    Development of the humanity comes with a great price.  As we people approach the new era, the era of the machines Mother Nature is now just left in the corner, left unaided in the darkness. In the movie “The Lorax”, it relates to what is happening in the modern times.

                There was a boy named Ted who was eager to find a genuine tree to impress this lassie girl of his dreams since at that time, things are made mostly by plastics. His pursuit in finding a tree just to amaze his crush turned out to be a bigger quest as this was the reason for the society to open their eyes and grasp the unpleasant truth that was concealed to them for a long time.

                As Ted goes out in the village called “Thneed-Ville”, he met a guy called the “Onceler”. The Onceler told everything to Ted why every trees ceased to exist anymore.

                The Onceler was this man who was so determined that his research will be a huge success. His research was to invent an all-purpose cloth however, in order to yield such cloth, the leaves of a Truffula tree is necessary.  As soon as the Onceler cut down the glooming Truffula tree, the guardian of the nature, known as the “Lorax”, came out to voice out for the trees. The research of the Oncler came to be a really big hit that made him a prosperous man.  He needed to cut more trees to create more of his product but little did he know that trees were ceasing to exist any longer.  As the last tree was cut down, the Lorax can’t do anything. Instead, he just left a word “unless” carved in a rock.

                The Onceler entrusted Ted to plant the last seed of the Truffula tree to restore the balance in the world. Of course, the government of Thneed-Ville, Aloysius O'Hare, didn’t agree with Ted to plant the seed as this could the reason for his business to fall down. But Ted used the power of the society as he let the people show the wasteland around their pleasing city. In the end, Ted was able to plant the last seed and restored the true beauty of nature.
