dave s Life in a Day is a remarkable achievement, a compilation of videos submitted from around the world that celebrates a single day, July 24, 2010. It is an amazing tapestry of life, a journey that is tragic, funny, touching, violent, inspirational, humbling, heartbreaking, and visually stunning. Granted, there are some segments that seem either unnecessary or too long (the elevator ride, the boy shaving for the first time), but the film is, generally, beautifully edited with more than its fair share of impactful and memorable moments.

I like how this movie highlights how everyone does the exact same thing all around the world. Doesn't matter where you're from, or your race, or your upbringing, we all do the same things. Like wake up in the morning brush our teeth, bathe. The only difference is that here in America, we're so spoiled that we don't realize it and take things for granted more easily than other parts of the world that have it way harder. Lmao! The husband fainted while they were performing the c section on his wife. Seeing the circumstances of how some of these less fortunate souls have to live in this world really makes you think about your own life. I like the way they contrast the different ways people live throughout different parts of the world. I really wish they didn't put in the cow scene. Like the cow getting shot in the head and then butchered. I felt like that was unnecessary to put in this kind of movie and it felt like some vegetarian or vegan pushed for that scene to be in the movie. Really fucking disturbing stuff that I didn't want to see. But then the part with the older couple getting their wedding vows renewed was so sweet and funny to watch. Very human movie that made me really appreciate what I have. I'm glad that I don't take things for granted and that I can give thanks for what I have. Very unsettling and disturbing at times but also pretty interesting. My favorite was the Korean guy who's bicycling around the world, the Russian's who are out in the mountains with the goats and the English couple getting remarried. Very interesting to see all the incredible things that can happen in one day. Kind of a weird ending. Even though I enjoyed parts of it, I'm not watching it again.

A simple yet profound compilation of scenes from shot by people all around the world. What better way to show the humanity within us? As a documentarian, I wish I had come up with the idea!
