Life in a Day (directed by Kevin MacDonald along with Natalia Andreadis and Joseph Michael) is a production sponsored by LG, National Geographic, YouTube and Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions which asked people around the world to submit video footage of what they did on a single day, July 24, 2010. They received thousands of hours of video from people over 190 countries. This footage was organized into a 95 minute film which showed life across the earth on that day from 12:00 AM (0:00) on that day until 11:59 PM (23:59) that evening.
The movie does run like an “edited 95 minute collage of YouTube videos from around the world.” So if you’d like or even be fascinated by something like that, you’d probably enjoy this movie. If you would find something like that either “too much” or “too boring,” you’ll probably not like it.
Since I’ve done my share in recent years of filming essentially "random" (read "quite simple" or "quite boring" ;-) events in my life, I probably fall in the first group. I _do_ find value in projects like Life in a Day. It’s a reminder to us of both the _diversity_ and the _universality_ of our day-to-day experiences. After all, we _all_ have to get up, wash ourselves up, eat, go to work/school. We all play or do things for fun. We all have important events in our lives (though perhaps not every day). We all have loved ones. And we fear various things including perhaps “disappearing” or “not having had mattered.”
So I did find this project and compilation fascinating but I do understand that it wouldn’t be for everybody.
