The life as it is. Naked an Row. I always had the notion of discrepancy between countries. What is right for us, for granted, another may be completely different. If I feel good, there is always someone who feels worse than ever and someone even better. Life in a Day is the maximum examples. The change in the camera. The change in vision. All of us in one way or another we have our problems, our way of solving it. And in the movie when all the stakeholders are willing to change. The one day be the day of the move. The day "today was not even bad" or "I have this problem, I will not change, but show you to learn how I am." Recommended and easy to read display, where are all heroes, connect a camera and answer "What is it you fear?I recommend that if only to see the epic fail in living room or bedroom.
I watched the film in school as a Case Study for my NMT exam.First Impressions – It was a very different film to others that I have seen, with no clear narrative and the quality of the footage is not as good as 'Hollywood' films. However, something that was positive about the film that was different to others is there are no actors, nothing is set up.Good Points – It is a new way of making films, getting 75% of clips from YouTube 'User generated content' and the actual idea of the film, how 1000's of people would film themselves and their lives on one particular day, to get a look inside how the world looks like from different points of view and not just being Britain's or Americans which are common in films.Bad Points – The quality of the clips are not very good, but you get used to it after a couple of minutes and each clip uses different camera shots and quality, which is good as it keeps it interesting, but as a whole, and film, it should be consistent. Each clip is too short to get attached or feel emotions to, whereas another film like 'Marley & Me', you get half an hour to learn about the characters which gets you attached to them. Also, the film is quite boring at times, with scenes being too long (not being very interesting), or too short in some cases.Overall, it is a film only to be watched as a last resort, but it does provide us with a very interesting view of the world on one day and acts as a time capsule for future generations.
How many times have you wondered how a human being lives in another city of this planet? Not something we see in the movies, just a regular, ordinary, mundane, and simple human being.How many times have you thought how life is short and how you should do to get the most of it.Well, this movie is about these questions and much more. Using raw footage sent by people from different backgrounds and 192 countries -which makes us think how powerful the media is - it takes to a fascinating journey to witness a long needed reality check. Fascinating in its own way, because the scenes you see are ordinary. And that is what the enchantment is... art from the ordinary.It is not a reality show, nor a fictional movie. Life in a Day is just... Life. With all frustrations , discoveries, sadness, and hopes. Just life.I watched this movie not expecting too much. And boy was I wrong - this kept me mesmerized for 94 minutes. And at the end, you will ask yourself if you are doing the best from your existence in this planet. Not to be missed!
What a fantastic film.As much as I love conventional scripted film and actors, I always know deep down that none of it is 100% real, therefore I am never fully locked in for the whole duration of the movie and any emotions I feel are very short lived.I had to keep telling myself, 'This is real' to counter act the habits of thinking 'this is not real' and this really made the experience unlike any other, even with documentaries they are often over scripted and distort the truth.I realize that to build empathy and responsibility we all need to become more aware of our surroundings. This is why the internet has had such a positive impact on human rights, charities, and freedom of speech, which motivates democratic political changes too improve the planet.I heard just yesterday that the US Congress was trying to pass a bill that would censor the worlds internet. Although online piracy is a strong motive, the real reason is to prevent the worlds people from having a democratic voice. As the more we all see the starvation, inequality, war, corruption, deceit, the more we all strive to make constructive changes to a this over protected sick system.... The vast majority actually want a kinder more equal planet, but right now the system is motivated by profits, and profits motivate dictatorship and corruption.We must realize our ability to use technology to create a new system of global wealth beyond traditional hierarchy and suffering. It will take time, and we must continue to produce films which show the world as a whole, for us to really understand our connection to the environment. (Watch the Zeitgeist movement movies for free on youtube to understand more about resource based economies)It makes me upset to know that so many people fear death. But hopefully like me, people will grow to understand their real identity is the whole of planet earth, imagine looking at planet earth from a spaceship, we must learn to see earth as an organism like a tree, and people are just leaves on the tree, they die, but the tree still lives on as something greater. Its a big step to take and the thought process doesn't solidify over night,(took me two years to solidify this awareness) but, now I see all suffering as 'my own' as 'I am' the organism, and all joy as 'mine' too... and therefore we have a responsibility to remove all religion which promotes the thought processes of individualism and division. we have a responsibility make to make everyone's life blissful. AS I AM YOU, AND WE ARE ALL.This movie enables us to think like ONE organism should.
