The past few days my class and i have been watching a film" Life in A Day". This is an excellent movie about people around the world filming one day of their life all on July 24, 2010. The way this was created by YouTube and professional editors. YouTube asked the people to film themselves and post it on YouTube, then the editors edited it all together to make this beautiful masterpiece of world culture.
The most memorable scene for me would have to be the mother recovering from cancer. I remembered this because I know and have known many people who got the disease and its nice to see people like her not giving up and getting better.This was one of the many positive scenes from the movie.
Other positive scenes were when the girl climbed the human pyramid because that needs a lot of work, practice and bravery, the bicyclist because he's able to see all the wonders of the world, and the man who was able to tell his grandmother how he really feels and most people would make of fun of who he is.
Some negative scenes that I remember when the goat was killed because I'm against animal cruelty and when the little boy had to work to help his family at a young age because he's growing up so fast.
Throughout all the movie I saw many patterns; we are all basically the same. Kids are kids and adults are adults. They all get up early make breakfast and go to work. They all spend time with family. Everyone was living the same life but at different places, paces, and with a few challenges stirred up in the middle. This video shows that we all love, achieve, fail, and overcome. We all fight and forgive. We are who we are. We have are differences though.
In the movie there were many examples of juxtapositions(this is when you place two things side by side for purposes of compare and contrast). One examples is when they showed people living in the woods with barely any water to a man watering his grass with a bat in the back ground.
I really enjoyed this film it was interesting to see the differences that divide us, the similarities that collide us and the love that keeps us all in place. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. although it may not be a new exciting action or comedy, it truly is a beautiful movie.
