For those who didn’t know, or those who don’t remember, on July 24th, 2010 brothers Ridley Scott and Tony Scott created a Youtube challenge for people across the globe to film their lives on that single day and answer a few simple questions. They received 4,500 hours of video from 192 countries. The end result is the beautiful film, Life In A Day. The fluid editing of how they portray the interconnectedness of lives from every corner of the world is masterful, considering much of the submitted material was filmed by untrained cinematographers. Often set to subtle music, you are offered a moving glimpse of hope, a reminder of what our lives looked like before this abrupt redefining of our world, and what it will likely look like again.
Forget about the disconnect you may get from watching movies or TV that feel suddenly out of touch with the sudden world changing event we are all submerged in, and immerse yourself in something more relevant than ten years ago. Part two has officially been released, and it is just as beautiful as the first installment, and touches on self isolation, where we are now, and our ever changing lives.
