    Filmed on July 25, 2020, and Released February 6, 2021

    I Filmed My Life in a Day on July 25, 2020. And I Remember waiting with Baited Breath If I was 1 of the Chosen to be in this 1, Since I couldn't Film My Life in a Day 2010, 1 I didn't know about the Filming, and 2 I didn't have a Camera to Film with until 2016. So Yeah This Review is about My experience with Director Kevin Macdonald, Well He's Clearly a Highlander. But Even though he didn't Choose My Vid, There's only So Much you can Fit in 90 Minutes of Film and TUBERS Across the Globe were Filming. And on February 5, 2021 I had Technical Difficulties That Lasted for Quite a While. Life in a Day 2020 gets My TM M for Moonbeam 87 Approved.

    The second installment...

    The second installment of 'Life in a Day' movie, first filmed in 2010, makes a 10 years leap and catches the world once again in its lenses, this time in the special conditions of the covid pandemic.

    It's interesting to see how people thought this could unfold, how others are now after 10 years since the last movie and that the major concerns and joys of people around the world haven't changed.

    best thing from 2020

    Movie night with Gertie.

    "Life in a Day" seemed groundbreaking ten years ago, but now we live in a TikTok era less so. So there's nothing groundbreaking here even thopiugh it's Covid and Black Lives Matter time, but it is entertaining and heartwarming.

    Nice collection of home videos, but what's the story?

    This is a nice collection of home videos collected across the world but the editing is poorly done and makes it feel like these videos were randomly put together. This movie would have made more sense if those videos actually told a story in a way but it they didn't.

    I felt like I went to YouTube Shorts and watched a bunch of random short videos at the end of this movie.

    What was the main story of this movie? What was its take home message? What were we expected to take from it? What did editors of this movie accomplished that couldn't be accomplished by watching a bunch of random short videos on Youtube?

    I felt like this movie left a lot to be desired due to poor editing.

    Too Much at Times

    I remember an old show called "Ben Casey" that began with the lead in, "Birth, Life, Death, Infinity." This is the task of this documentary which has had mixed reviews. The original was done in 2010 and this was a follow up. It must have been a monumental task. While there are some pretty gripping scenes, the editing was all over the place. Transitions were unclear and sometimes it was hard to see where things were going. Maybe a little voice over using poetry or some literary pieces would have helped. I suppose since so many cultures were engaged, that might be unfair. I stayed with it, but I never had the aha moment. Certainly worth a look.
