LIFE IN A DAY

The film is shot by hundreds of people, from around the world, who sent their own personal videos into YouTube to make this stunning picture. It is hard to really review the film because of what it is about: life. The film captures life for anything on Earth, whether it be a human or an animal. Cultures, religions, ways of life and philosophies are all touched upon in this amazing piece of history. Never before has the entire world been seen in a film such as it has in this picture. Some might argue that the more brutal realities of life are underrepresented (war, death, crime, prejudice, etc.), but I think that perception is probably due to how much we are bombarded with them by our daily news and entertainment. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of misery on display here (whether it be as simple as the sting of rejection or as profound as the fear of dying), but it’s often more subtle than explicit and it’s tempered by a positivity that sometimes seems to be lacking in our view of the world.
