Life in a Day

Life in a Day
(2011) [Full Movie]

I'll start by telling you that if you have Netflix Streaming you need to go ahead and schedule in a little me time and plop this baby on. Or head over to Youtube and watch it free. Basically what I'm saying is there's no reason not to watch this... it's also at the bottom of this review... go for it.

Life in a Day is a Youtube release. I don't know if that turns some people off, but in the case of this film, it shouldn't. Awhile a ago, I don't know if you remember, Youtube put out the call for people around the world to film their life on the day July 24th 2010. They only got like 10 submissions so they had to reschedule it for Oct 31 2010...just kidding, they received over 4500 hours worth of material. This movie is the end result of those hours neatly packaged for you.

I am going to say that this is probably one of my favorite documentaries now. I absolutely loved it. The idea alone is fantastic and the fact that they were able to edit 4500 hours down into this final product is incredible. It's pretty impressive on a lot of different levels. It's great to be reminded of how diverse our world is, but on the other hand it's crazy to see how many people do the same thing everywhere. Some of the people, like the Korean bike rider guy, you'd wish they'd spend more time with (shit, I wish they'd make a full documentary on that guy), but at the end of the day you realize that's not the point of the film. This movie was just a real easy watch and I would obviously recommend you see it ASAP.
