"What happens when you send a request out to the world to chronicle, via video, a single day on Earth? You get 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countries. Producer Ridley Scott and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald took this raw material -- all shot on July 24, 2010 -- and created "Life in a Day," a groundbreaking, feature-length documentary that portrays this kaleidoscope of images we call life.
It opens in Chicago, Los Angles, New York, San Francisco, Santa Monica and Seattle today, and in other cities across the U.S. on successive Fridays throughout the summer (see youtube.com/lifeinaday for the complete list so far). Entertainment Weekly gives it a B+ and calls it "our equivalent of that '80s art-film kaleidoscope 'Koyaanisqatsi.'" Which means maybe bring some aspirin." - excerpt from http://adage.com/article/the-media-guy/youtube-movie-today-facebook-movie/229005/.
The reason I am posting this blog and the trailer (below), is because I love watching and studying humanity in the context of a Christian worldview. In fact, when you observe and study humanity through the lens of Scripture it means so much more. Even though this work isn't a "Christian" production I am looking forward to watching it... I think it will give us a glimpse of God's view every day and therefore will put life in the right perspective. Many times we take ourselves too seriously or we don't take ourselves seriously enough. Many times we think life revolves around me. Many times we think we are island unto ourselves. Many times we think that God doesn't care.
God is at work through His Church... building and expanding His Kingdom here on Earth as it is in Heaven, one person at a time. What does God have for you to do today?
