If it wasn't for me at home alone and just doing nothing, it would be hard to have the patience to watch this movie from start to finish. It records all kinds of trivialities in life. For most people who upload videos, this day is an ordinary day. For some people, this day has become significant because of marriage, childbirth or an anniversary. But even if you put it on a personal one-year timeline, this day is not necessarily thrilling.
The day begins in the early morning night and ends in the dark night of heavy rain. On this day, some people are happy, some people are sad; some people are born, some people die; some people are busy all day, and some people wake up as confused as they fall asleep... Every scene can constitute such a pair of parallel sentences. Various invisible tensions drive the day from morning to dusk. Each person's day together becomes a human life.
The Chinese did not appear in this film. Because of GFW, the Chinese are absent from this globalized self-expression. However, Tencent has a photo channel called "One Day in China" ( http://news.qq.com/photon/tpyk/zhongguorendeyitian.htm ) which also recorded the same theme.
In such records, we see two worlds, one of our own and the other of the outside world. We often project our world into the external world, establish our own position and construct our own identity, but this makes people more and more anxious, because you are like a light spot, you can never find it in the strange world Predetermine your position. We rarely bring the outside world into our own. When you do this, you will find out how small and trivial the great joy and great sorrow in life, the comings and goings, appear in the world's floating life. With empathy to the fate of others, one can view one's own life from a higher height, no longer compete with oneself, and try to reconcile with one's own vanity and arrogance.
