Today I watched Life in a Day, which is a documentary/collaborative film that consists of different videos from different individuals from all over the world. The videos were filmed on July 24th, 2010 and were sent in via the YouTube community. The videos were watched, sorted and sewn together to produce this brilliant film.
Unscripted and viewing the whole world on a scale of time that seems to pass so emptily as we live, this film surpassed what I expected. This film not only serves as a periscope up into the other side of the world, but a reflection of ourselves.
From children to adults, city folks to rural residents, first world to third world countries. The world is beautifully woven together in this film to show how different and how much more alike we are from people we would never imagine meeting.
This film is brilliant. It's gorgeous and has a great soundtrack. The reality of things will turn this film into something that will emotionally move you through different levels. It slightly reminds me of Discovery Channel's "The World is Awesome" commercial.
As different as we all may feel from each other, ultimately, we are quite alike. Beautifully, amazingly human.
5/5 stars, obviously. I never do a review of a film I don't find absolutely astonishing.
