Recently, our class has watched a movie called "Life in a day." It was made by compiling a bunch of amateur film clips of peoples lives which were all taken on July 24, 2010. The master filmographers picked a small amount of the thousands of clips and edited them to show the world over the course in a day.
Their were many scenes that were memorable to me but the most memorable one is about a lady who called her husband over SKYPE to chat because he is serving in Iraq. This made me realize how the war is affecting not only veterans but their family. Even though pulling out the troops in Iraq may not be a good political decision, at least family members can have peace of mind. Another memorable scene is when a kid wakes up every morning and prays to his dead mother. It tells me that he still cares about his mom every day.
A scene that gave me a positive reaction was about the guy from korea traveling the world on his bike. His goal is to reunite south and north korea. It showed me how much someone can do to try to acheive their goals. I wish him good luck on his journey.
A scene that gave me a negative reaction was the kid who shines shoes every weekend. It makes me sad to think that kids in other countries have to work to support their family. He also is unable to have a fun childhood which made me depressed.
A pattern I saw was many poor people talking followed by richer people talking.
A juxtaposition that I saw was the comparison of people with a lot of water and a little bit of water. Another one I saw was the people who were happy with the sad people.
The film made me think about how many problems that are in this world that need to be fixed. These include starvation, theft, and lack of water. Even though organizations are doing things about it, it seems that their is still a lot of people that could use help. I would recommend this to a friend because it really showed me how much goes on in the world in one day.
