Answer:

Not only our actions but our entire society, its streets, its buildings, and even people's daily activities intertwine in a complex mechanism where every single element is necessary to work properly. Everything, and everyone, has a purpose.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the movie Hugo (2011), directed by Martin Scorsese, Hugo claims he imagined that "the whole world was one big machine", referencing one of the main themes of the movie: we are all a little cog within a larger mechanism, meaning that we all have a purpose. This theme is particularly noticeable in the opening scene when the streets and buildings of Paris seem to be cogs in a giant machine.
