So interesting and heart warming!!
Nov 10 2011

Format:DVD
The editors chose such sweet and interesting video entries. The project was very cleverly put together--all the early-morning clips, followed by the wake-up clips, then breakfast clips, etc.--as if we were moving through one day (which we actually are!!). The soundtrack is perfect--not distracting, but enhancing the mood. The closing clip is so perfect one might wonder if it was scripted, but I know it was not. You will smile while watching the video, and your heart will be warmed by the experience. What a wonderful world we live in, peopled by individuals just like us--we all sleep and eat and laugh and cry and worry and rejoice. I applaud the conceptualizers of this project!!

Life in a Day
Oct 3 2011
By Shea3
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
The documentary, Life in a Day, by Kevin Macdonald was very interesting and entertaining, and I would recommend it to anyone. People from all around the world sent him videos, and he composed them all together to create this movie about one specific day. This documentary elicits many emotions from its viewers, because it shows many different parts and aspects of the world, and it really makes viewers appreciate what they have. The movie was not at all polemical, because even the people who had difficult lives were living, and the videos shown were sympathetic and interesting. There were people that were happy and celebrating, and there were also people who were moribund. Some people were going through an honest day of work, and others were complicit in an illegal act. The extreme variations among these videos made the movie so diverse and entertaining to watch.

Human

Because this movie was created overwhelmingly by people, it is difficult to judge and rate; therefore, I judge it's humanistic value - and this movie excels. The one factor that as done "professionally" was the editing - and while good, the editing is not the focus nor is it distracting from the film. Therefore, the editing is too minimal to judge or rate... leaving only the humanistic value unscathed at a 5.0. This is a movie about people by people.
