I just got done watching the YouTube movie Life In A Day and all I have to say is WOW! Sorry for yelling but I was blown away by this film.
In case you're not familiar with Life in a Day, it's a crowd-sourced documentary film comprising an arranged series of video clips selected from 80,000 clips submitted to the YouTube video sharing website, the clips showing respective occurrences from around the world on a single day, July 24, 2010.
In my opinion this movie should be required viewing for everyone living on this planet. Not only because it shows how similar we all are but at the same time demonstrates our differences. For example, one segment featured a wife separated from her husband, who is serving in Afghanistan and at the same time in Kabul a young Afghani photographer gives a tour of his city to show how hopeful he is for the country's future.
The film was put together in chronological order and showed the daily life of people from all across the globe, performing all the same tasks you and I do on a daily basis.
Life In A Day was beautiful and gross at the same time, from the father and child waking up somewhere in Asia and saying good morning then lighting incense for the mother and wife they had lost. To the killing in the slaughter house of a cow in a scene that seemed to last forever.
It was also both sad and uplifting, from the little boy earning his living shining shoes on a Saturday, to the montage of births, both human and animal.
I believe that if everybody saw this documentary, there would be a little less war and a tad bit more peace in the world.
