ayhansalamci "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." In the fifth year of Youtube, working with Ridley and Tony Scott, on July 24, 2010, 4500 videos from different countries of the world were sent and a feature film was selected from these videos. I think human beings are the same everywhere, despite the cultural differences, no matter where in the world they are. Our dreams, our thoughts, our desires, our happiness, our fears, our worries and our beliefs are so similar that it can not be described. Instead of complaining about our lives, we have to deal with more motivated things. Nobody in the world lives on equal terms. Life is full of difficulties but we must learn this inevitable truth and patience. Laughing is a universal language and we should never let it go. I wish a world where there are no wars where peace and love exist.

SnoopyStyle People were asked to film their lives during 24th July, 2010. Thousands contributed and Kevin Macdonald edited the 4500 hours of footage from 192 countries into about ninety minutes. It basically follows chronologically through the day. There are also sections with a specific theme like hunting for food, and weddings. There are a few prepared questions that people answer in their footage. This is produced by Scott Free Productions and YouTube. As expected, most of this is shaky-camera amateur work. Sometimes, there are beautiful shots. There are plenty of intriguing everyday stuff that are not usually seen in your Hollywood fare. There are some shocking moments. There is a crowd crush situation and some war-torn footages. Overall, there is an unity about the human existence being shown. The idea may be more compelling than the actual execution. This becomes almost archival material for future generations. As for the final girl, it starts off as a tearjerker. It turns a little narcissism which is fitting for Youtube, but then it becomes a nice wrap for the whole movie.

Cameron Mckenna This movie is another great creation from Ridley Scott and has everything from sunsets in the morning, footage of people's feet, to the footage of both moving and funny events taking place all over the world. If Ridley Scott was attempting to create a documentary that inspires people to go out and film but at the same time to see how we are all similar in some ways all over the world then all I can say is well done Ridley Scott. The film gave the opportunity for people all over the world to film their life on the 24th of July 2010 allowing us to see into the lives of everyone throughout the world ranging from an American driving his Lamborghini to children in developing countries struggling to survive, all showing use that these differences still exist but at the same time how we all rely on the same things shown through the many clips of goats, showing how many countries are highly reliant on goats to survive, Got to love them goats, except for the one that was executed, never mind. The film also gives us a glimpse into other peoples life's for example, camera teams were sent out to remote and developing countries which included scenes ranging from sounds of Angolan women that are singing whilst they work, to goat herders and people who dwell in the reinvests, all give use an insight into the normal everyday life over these remote countries covering around 40 different developing countries. The way the movie was created was by giving individuals three questions which were, what do you love?, what do you fear? and what's in your pocket?. Even though these questions seem a bit random, it opens the audiences eyes to our similarity's but also are differences throughout the world for example how are fears become more petty the richer our countries are becoming. All of these replies gives the audience an inspiring view of the world which allows the audience to see the hardships of everyday life in different countries but also gives the opportunity for people to show others what they feel and what happens in their everyday life. Overall I believe that this film has a new step in the world of film and provided individuals the opportunity to show the feelings and shows the audience a glimpse into really life and experiences all over the world which are none existent in the current Hollywood blockbusters. Granted that this could be counted as a cheap form to get footage for a film, but this film in my view is a must see and I for one was surprised on the range of different life experiences individuals experience all over the world each day but also how we are similar. Well done Ridley.

Josh Anderson The idea of taking footage from people all over the world is a novel approach to a documentary. It creates an extremely candid and objective look into normal real life in our magnificent world. I have traveled a little bit in my life, but a film like this still makes me feel like I still haven't the slightest clue what billions of people live like in the world. I want to watch this like 3 more times just to try and take it all in. Though I'm sure the editors had a massive job cutting down the submissions into this feature length, I still feel like watching this was like drinking from a fire hose. From eating and working to religious practices and play times, from people's fears to people's loves you see a remarkable representation of life on earth in one day. The downside to this film is that, because of its candidness, you see some of the horrors of life like cancer, people being trampled to death at a festival, a man who has just had open heart surgery. But it is balanced by the beauty and adventure of life: birth, children at play, etc. At the end you will be left feeling like even if you are no one famous, or you don't have much going on in life, you are part of this planet and your story is as significant as everyone else's. I have a feeling we will be seeing more documentaries and movies made like this, incorporating average people's footage.
