Iife in a day

So, I’ve just watched the masterpiece ‘Life in a day’ produced by Ridley Scott. Have any of you heard of it?

It is based on videos submitted to YouTube from 24^th July 2010. They have taken videos from people all around the world and constructed a wonderful feature length movie. I initially wanted to go and watch it in the cinema, but only selected cinemas where showing it. I have since stumbled across it on YouTube {where else} and watched the full film.

‘Life in a day’ is an intimate and deeply moving odyssey through the everyday business of human life. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I felt anger, I felt sad but most of all I felt liberated. Although I am not naive, it is so moving and extraordinary to delve into other people’s lives and to see how they live. Some are less fortunate, but to still see they are happy, and that it is not the materialistic things in life that should make you content. Every emotion is triggered, and it really makes you think of your own life, and to appreciate everything in it, and to live life to the full {something I like to do anyway}

So take some time out {1 ½ hours} sit back with a cup of tea, and a tissue {or 2} and watch the astonishing stories, some normal, some unusual, some sad, and some happy, unfold.

As coincidence might have it, I do believe it is also showing on BBC 2 tonight at 9pm. So please, have a watch, and let me know what you think??

If you have watched it {or will watch it} and are totally bummed you missed out on the chance to appear. Then you are in luck. Ridley Scott is producing another YouTube film, but this time it will be 'Britain in a day'and all films are to be shot on November 12^th 2011, so you have plenty time to get a camera {or use your phone} and partake in history.

Otherwise please enjoy the film below...
