Today I watched this video - life in a day. I came across this video two months back. I could not find time to watch it fully as I was busy in the middle of the semester. Today I revisited the video and watched it. The video has a very magical touch to it. It is because, my feeling, it is natural. None of the scenes are directed by anyone. I did find a few scenes here and there where people deliberately did something so that it can go on the video. That is fine. It was still very natural.
One of the characters that I could not forget, mostly you would not too, is this Korean guy who is cycling all around the world trying to spread the message of peace. The scene where he talks about different flies that he has come across in his life is quite memorable. I recommend this movie for everyone. The movie is of course about the daily routines of people all over the world. It has tried to capture the diversity of this planet. But I was struck more by the things that we have in common than the differences. We sleep, we wake up, we eat, we play, we cry, we laugh, we live.
Lucky are the people who get to live their life. What scares me is not death, not humiliation but a life where I have no choice to even choose whether to "stand up and fight" or "curl and cry".
