Life In A Day released in 2011 is a documentary film showing a day of a life of people from around the world. All the scenes shown in the film was filmed on 24th of July, 2010 filmed by the people who are in the movie. It depicts the footage of people's real day. The film was directed by Kevin Macdonald and produced by Ridley Scott.
Here is the trailer
This film is not something that we really get into it and lose time. There is no action, no mystery, or anything special. However, it is a film that makes us think. Makes us think about life and what we love and value. There are also a lot of scenes that we would never experience or see in our own lives. The scene people slaughter a cow is probably one of them. The slaughtering scene is something that was really hard to see but was left in my mind even after I finished watching this film. It made me realize how much things are being sacrificed for us to live.
This film is also full of different emotions. It shows happiness, love, anger, sadness, loneliness, and so on. Towards the end there are parts that contrasts those emotions as they show disasters that are happening at the same time when people are having fun. Also the scene asking people what they fear the most showed the dark side of reality as a lot of people answered, death and loneliness.
In overall, this film was very interesting for me. This film depicts, human reality, cultural difference, human value, and made me realize many other things that people usually don't really think about seriously in their daily lives. It was also something that made me reflect on my own life and it changed my thoughts about it. I am glad that I saw it recently, because now, being a college student is the time of my life when I think a lot about my future life.
Since this film is available free on YouTube, in 17 different languages, I recommend people, especially college students, to see this film on their spare time.

I've never seen this movie before! The trailer immediately attracted my attention! I'll definitely add this to my "movies to watch" list!
返信削除I have never watched this movie, or known it. Also I don't watch a documentary movie so much, but I got so interested in this movie. I like the movies that make us think a lot. I should watch this movie someday!
返信削除This is a great documentary - I loved it! Your analysis of it is interesting, but it doesn't reveal clearly what you intend to do with your topic. The impact movies have on us is too abstract... You've posted some good images on this blog, but no analysis of them. What do you think of them? What, rhetorically, are they telling us? Your readers want to know what you think!
