Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
yvonneleach-33166 A very creative and thought provoking way to share our combined human experience across cultures. To think what a challenge it was to go through all that video footage and decide what to keep and then to piece it together in a way that flowed naturally and touched on the common themes of life for all of us. It is commendable and the final product a truly amazing product,
Mr.Blonde The life as it is. Naked an Row. I always had the notion of discrepancy between countries. What is right for us, for granted, another may be completely different. If I feel good, there is always someone who feels worse than ever and someone even better. Life in a Day is the maximum examples. The change in the camera. The change in vision. All of us in one way or another we have our problems, our way of solving it. And in the movie when all the stakeholders are willing to change. The one day be the day of the move. The day "today was not even bad" or "I have this problem, I will not change, but show you to learn how I am." Recommended and easy to read display, where are all heroes, connect a camera and answer "What is it you fear?I recommend that if only to see the epic fail in living room or bedroom.
coxalexis This movie should come with a warning that it includes footage of a cow getting shot in the head and then having it's throat cut and a chick that has been removed from it's egg prematurely, presumably to die. As a veterinarian and animal lover, I find this footage horrific!!!!! And out of all the clips of day to day life the director could choose to include in the film, it is terribly disturbing to me that he would pick these! Kevin Macdonald, and whoever else made and endorsed this film, there is a twisted side to you that cannot be justified. You and your film suck. In addition, the non-violent footage is largely as dull as a melon spoon. I wake up, eat a bowl of cereal, take a crap, go about my day and crawl into bed at night every day, too. I consider this minutia of my day to day life to be tedium, just like your film. HATED IT.
annabel_jasmine I had to watch Life in a Day at college for the next part of my A-Levels as it focuses on New Media Technology. This film is one of our main case studies, when I found out that I was going to watch this film I wasn't very happy about the idea but now I have watched it I can see why people rate it so much as it is one of those films that you can watch over and over again and notice new things.When I first started watching the film I thought it was odd as it didn't seem real, the more I watched though I understood that people were happy to be taking part in the film and wanted to help other people understand what everybody else does every day and how people's lives are all different.I thought the film was really good as you were able to understand what some people have to go through. I was also impressed with the way the film was edited as it helped you understand what was going on more as it was edited into a kind of story line throughout the whole day. I really like the film as it is a somewhat time capsule and in years to come people will be able to watch this film and understand how we used to live and I think it would be a great idea if something like this could be made every so often.However I didn't enjoy some of the footage that was added into the film, I understand that the producer and director wanted to get all different types of things in however you were never warned about some of the shocking clips that was in the film. Another reason why I didn't enjoy the film is because it seemed surreal as everybody on the film seemed happy and everybody knows that it isn't true as there are plenty of other things going on in the world. For example, people in poverty, I understand they are happy with what they have got however they were making out they were on top of the world and nothing could be better.My overall impression is that I can understand why the film is a ground breaking film as it was really good, edited well, and made you understand everything differently. Everybody has different views on different things and I suppose it just depends on what you are interested in to whether you will enjoy the film or not. I'm happy that it helped YouTube become a more developed website and more well known to other people as people needed to understand that it wasn't just a film for videos and that the videos on there should actually mean something.
