ALL SHOT ON A SINGLE DAY: 24TH JULY 2010
-
woman: Isn't he pretty?
-
[man howling]
-
[howling continues]
-
[chuckles]
-
woman: Can you--
man: Hello.
-
woman:
Can you speak English?
-
man: Yes.
-
woman: What--
man: [chuckles] Oh-ho.
-
woman: What day is it?
man: Yes.
-
I like to move it move it.
-
woman: You know.
man: All right.
-
This is best day
of my life.
-
woman: No. I'm asking--
man: Oh, what day?
-
woman: Yes.
man: Uh, it's, uh...
-
Wait a minute.
[laughs]
-
A stupid question.
"What day is it?"
-
Ah. Sorry.
woman: Okay.
-
man: It's 24 July.
-
[laughs]
-
woman: And what a day it is.
-
man:
It's the best day ever.
-
woman: You might be wondering
why I'm up at this ungodly hour.
-
Like others, I believe
that the time
-
between 3:00 A.M.
and 4:00 A.M.
-
is one where the veil
between this world and the next
-
is the thinnest.
-
Often during this time
of the day,
-
I hear the sound
of my name uttered
-
by an unseen presence.
-
[dog barks]
-
[rooster crows]
-
woman: Good morning.
-
[woman #2
speaking native language]
-
[woman laughs]
-
man: Whoa. [laughs]
-
[speaking native language]
That's nice.
-
man: And here we go
into the garage.
-
That's right.
-
We're going to ride
in the elevator.
-
All right.
Let's ride it.
-
Here it is.
-
That's right.
-
This is the elevator
at the Market Parking Garage
-
in Roanoke, Virginia.
-
This elevator has been made
famous right here.
-
Here we go.
-
Here we are at six,
which is burned out.
-
Just your basic
Dover elevator.
-
For all of those of you
at Dover Elevators,
-
a good brand of elevator.
-
Now we're gonna go back down
to one.
-
All right. Now it's time
to go off to work.
-
[engine turning]
-
Wasn't that fun?
-
Gray: You know how much strength
it takes to rebel?
-
Ha. So this is a night
in the life of S. Gray, man.
-
You know what I'm saying?
-
Sleeping on the coach...
with nobo--
-
Grinding my ass off
every day.
-
Shorties not enjoying
their mother.
-
Man not enjoying his wife
or his woman--his lady.
-
[baby wailing]
-
Just bullshit, man.
-
Alpha male trapped in
and locked in
-
through religion
and politics.
-
Soon enough, man,
my plans
-
will all come into perfection.

[boat horn blows]
-
man speaking native language:
You need to have a pee.
-
Tai-Chan.
-
If you don't pee, you can't
watch TV, can you?
-
Hmm?
-
Hey. Here we go.
-
boy: Why do you have
lots of hair growing?
-
man speaking native language:
Because I'm a man.
-
boy speaking native language:
What about women?
-
man: Women don't have hair,
not as much.
-
[man speaking native language]
-
Say good morning to mummy.
-
boy speaking native language:
Good morning.
-
man speaking native language:
Here's the incense.
-
boy speaking native language:
I don't want to.
-
man: Daddy will do it
alone then, Tai-Chan.
-
Tai-Chan, here,
sound the bell.
-
When daddy has put
the incense in,
-
you can sound the bell.
-
[bell rings]
-
Not yet.
-
When daddy has put
the incense in here.
-
[bell rings]
-
That's it.
Good morning, mummy.
-
boy speaking native language:
Good morning, mummy.
-
man speaking native language:
Good, now put the incense out.
-
Good.
-
boy speaking native language:
All done.
-
I want some water.
-
[man speaking native language]
-
[woman laughs]
-
[man coughs]
-
man: Today we're gonna
videotape Sasha
-
doing his first ever shave.
-
Sasha: Oh, boy.
-
man: Sasha is how old now?
-
Sasha: Uh...15.
man: All right.
-
Sasha: 15.
-
man: The first thing
Sasha's doing
-
is getting the water hot
to put a hot cloth
-
on his face.
-
Sasha: Yes.
-
man: So that it'll warm up
your face
-
and moisturize your skin.
-
Does he have, like, a nice,
warm face now?
-
Sasha: It's always been hot.
man: All right. Yes.
-
Whatever
you say there, dude.
-
Actually, we should probably
do a close-up of your--
-
those whiskers.
-
They're really long now.
-
[chuckles]
Sasha: Thank you.
-
man: You need to, like, really
lather it up.
-
Sasha: Okay.
-
man: I don't think you need
to put it on your nose.
-
Sasha: Yeah. Yeah.
man: [laughs]
-
Sasha: Five-blade razor,
which we got as a sample.
-
Schwing!
Is it time?
-
man: Go ahead.
-
Sasha: Okay, you're shaving
for me.
-
This is embarrassing.
-
I'm bleeding.
man: Yes. Don't worry.
-
You will survive it.
Sasha: Wow.
-
man: Don't worry.
It will be all right.
-
Sasha: Oh, wow.
-
This is torture.
-
Ow!
-
man: Does it hurt?
Sasha: Yes.
-
man: It'll sting
for a little while.
-
There,
just dry yourself off.
-
And let's take a look
at the nice...
-
Sasha: Meh.
man: Nice clean shave.
-
Good job, buddy. Here.
Sasha: This is not clean.
-
man: Here's what we do.
Sasha: Agh.
-
man: Don't--give me--
face the camera here.
-
And we put a little piece
on there.
-
See? And it sticks
to the bloody part.
-
And voila, he's done.
-
Hey, wait.
High five, buddy.
-
You survived it.
-
[animal bells ring]
-
man: Guys, it's not good
to fall in love with girls
-
You have wives,
so you are all right.
-
Whereas I don't have a wife.
-
Bitch.
-
man: What day is it today?
man #2: The 24th.
-
man speaking native language:
No way.
-
man #2: Then what day
do you think it is?
-
man: The 25th.
man #2: It's not the 25th.
-
man: It's the 25th.
man #2: 24th.
-
man speaking native language:
Oh, dear God.
-
[man speaking native language]
-
[man cheering]
-
man: We're documenting
everything.
-
Bobby: Wha-ah-ah!
man: Shh.
-
Bobby: Dah dah dah dah
nah nah nah nah!
-
Nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah!
-
man: Bobby,
let Mommy sleep.
-
[Bobby laughs]
-
man: Are you feeling okay?
-
Cathy: Yeah, I'm just
really tired, you know.
-
man: Okay.
Bobby: You feel weird?
-
Okay, this is how
you'll be weirder.
-
Whoa, tch.
-
man: Okay,
let's let Mommy sleep.
-
Bobby: Okay, Mom.
-
Dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah!
-
man: Bobby, get down.
We're gonna let Mommy sleep.
-
Bobby: Son of a cuss.
-
Cathy: Thank you.
Thank you.
-
Um, I do have
a question, though,
-
'cause I--my biggest worry
-
is, you know, of course,
my bandages and stuff.
-
But I've been taking a sh--
-
I know I can take a shower,
but I haven't.
-
But I thought maybe I could
at least try to take a shower
-
before you got here.
-
Is that okay if I just go
ahead and do that?
-
Oh, good. Okay.
-
Bobby: Dad,
can I come down?
-
Cathy: Bobby, can we have
a talk, though?
-
Please, please, please?
Bobby: Oh.
-
Cathy: I just need
to have a talk, okay?
-
Because Grandma
is telling me--
-
all the grandmas,
all the friends are saying
-
what a great boy you are.
-
And of course I know that.
-
And I know that it's hard.
-
I've never been in a hospital.
-
I've never been
like this before.
-
I just need us all
to help each other, okay?
-
And I know that sometimes
when we ask you
-
to do something to help,
sometimes it's 'cause
-
you don't want to go upstairs
'cause you get scared.
-
And that's fine.
I understand that.
-
Bobby: Dad's fault.
-
Cathy: If it's because
you're scared
-
to go upstairs by yourself
or downstairs by yourself,
-
just tell me that.
-
Bobby: I will. Sometimes...
[speaking indistinctly]
-
And stop videotaping!
-
Cathy: Bobby...
-
man: I was gonna give you
a camera too.
-
Cathy: We're gonna do
a project--
-
a family project, okay?
-
Can we all agree
to do the family project?
-
If not, then we can't do it.
man: Do you want a camera?
-
Cathy: Okay?
Bobby: What?
-
man: Do you want a camera
to videotape me?
-
Bobby: Mm-hmm.
-
Cathy: It's gonna be
a family project.
-
I need to have a happy boy
today, okay?
-
man: You have to be happy
if you have the video camera.
-
Bobby: Why?
-
man: Because it's
a happy film.
-
Cathy: All right?
-
man: And it has
a happy ending.
-
[sizzling]
-
woman: Kompiang,
was I a naughty child?
-
woman #2 speaking
native language: No.
-
woman speaking native language:
Truly?
-
woman #2:
Well, maybe a bit.
-
[woman speaking native language]
-
woman: How long have you been
working for our family?
-
woman #2 speaking native
language: Over 25 years.
-
woman speaking native language:
What are these offerings for?
-
woman #2:
To celebrate the full moon.
-
woman speaking native language:
The full moon?
-
[woman #2
speaking native language]
-
woman: What's this one?
-
woman #2: Pelungsur cake
-
to indicate that
the ceremony has ended.
-
[rooster crows]
-
[rooster crows]
-
woman speaking native language:
Which God is this for?
-
woman #2 speaking native
language: This is to Vishnu.
-
The water is an offering
for Him.
-
woman:
Okay, we're coming in...
-
Okay, first of all--
-
and I'm sure he hears me
by now--
-
let me explain something
to you.
-
Everyone, can you hear me
loud and clear?
-
My son was supposed to be
cleaning his room yesterday.
-
Come on, boy!
-
boy: Woman!
-
woman: [chuckles]
Woman!
-
Oh, this is gonna be
a long day, as most are.
-
boy: [groans]
-
woman: He's always a bundle
of joy when he wakes up.
-
Come on, come get in the shower,
get the day going.
-
We got things to do,
places to go.
-
boy: Yeah.
-
woman: People to see,
futures to make.
-
[lighthearted music]
-
man: I had
a major heart operation.
-
I'm very thankful
to the beautiful staff.
-
No job is too big
or--or too small.
-
And even down
to a few minutes ago,
-
just wiping my bum,
-
because I had my first--
first poop...
-
[chuckling]
-
in about a week or so.
-
So one of them came
to the rescue and said,
-
"Listen, would you like me
to trim that up for you, sir?"
-
So I said, "Yes."
-
And a very--very, um, courageous
young lady in my case,
-
I think,
did the job.
-
And just, uh,
all in a day's work.
-
[chiming faintly]
-
I'm very, very grateful
for these people
-
that have treated me like...
-
Just treated me so well.
-
In a short--short while...
-
I-I will be on the road
to recovery,
-
and I'll be out there again
doing crazy things
-
and enjoying life.
-
[overlapping chatter]
-
man: 56, 56...57.
-
61 Rupees.
-
61 going once,
61 going twice.
-
Sold!
-
[overlapping chatter]
-
[ultrasound pulses]
-
Amanda: I'm Amanda.
-
What makes me joyful
this Saturday is this...
-
And a little terrified
and really excited.
-
woman: Oh, my God,
did you feel that?
-
Let's try again.
-
[speaking native language]
-
Have a listen
if he's sleeping.
-
[water dripping]
-
woman: What's up, Beatrice?
-
[bird chirping]
-
man: Oh, oh, oh, oh...
-
[speaking native language]
-
[relaxed instrumental music]
-
woman: All right, then.
Oh! Come over here!
-
What a little miracle you are!
-
Goodness.
-
Now your mama has made herself
a little copy of Mama.
-
[woman speaking
native language]
-
man singing:
I want to drink
-
from the clearest water.
-
I want to eat
the things I ought to.
-
I just want to know
-
that I feel strong,
you know.
-
I want to reach
the greatest mountain.
-
Climb, if I want,
without all the shouting.
-
I just want to know
-
that I feel strong,
you know.
-
And clouds really
should be white at least,
-
and oceans should meet us
at the beach,
-
and I don't want
to overreach
-
when I know what's in store,
raw love.
-
Life, a day at a time,
my love.
-
Life, a day at a time,
don't know.
-
Love.
-
Life in a day
and life in a day
-
and life in a day...
-
I want to drink
from the clearest water.
-
I want to eat
the things I ought to.
-
I just want to know
-
that I feel strong,
you know.
-
I want to reach
the greatest mountain,
-
climb, if I want,
without all the shouting.
-
I just want to know

that I feel strong,
you know.

And clouds really
should be white at least,

and oceans should meet us
at the beach,

when I know what's in store,
raw love.

[man shouting

-
Yoon: Today it's been
9 years and 36 days.
-
[bus horn honking]
-
This is Kathmandu, Nepal.
-
I have been in
190 countries so far.
-
I've been struck by cars
six times.
-
Five times, surgery.
-
There are so many careless
drivers in the world.
-
I have seen many
different sizes of fly.
-
In North Africa,
smaller fly than here.
-
And Turkey,
smaller fly than here.
-
But this size
is same fly in Korea
-
and in Japan and China.
-
So I feel very emotional.
-
[car horns honking]

[door bangs]

a night with the goats.

I still remember the number.

woman:
First is a Canadian flag,

Some of my ancestors lived
in Wisconsin.

Some of my ancestors

My name is Randy Raisides,

and this is
Kenneth V. Fletcher's house.
-
Giant I-beam...
-
basket with grapes...
-
pipe bender...
-
a billion boxes.
-
He's kind of a hoarder.
-
I moved here four years ago,
a terrible drug addict.
-
And in four years,
Ken has done two things.
-
He has sobered me up,
-
and he has lost everything.
-
Good morning.
Ken: Good morning.
-
Randy: Kenneth V. Fletcher.
-
Ken: Loser.
-
Enabler.
-
What else?

Destitute human being.
-
Randy: Tomorrow Ken leaves
for the Canary Islands,
-
where he has gotten a job
as a massage therapist.
-
And I go back to Nebraska,
-
where I'm going to be living
with my folks.
-
He's one of those guys
that has a billion ideas
-
and never completes
any of them.
-
Ken wanted a piano
as a kid.
-
Ken couldn't get a piano
as a kid.
-
So three years ago, we looked
on Craigslist all summer
-
and went over
to the Twin Cities
-
and got pianos!
-
[Ken playing mid-tempo melody]
-
The man's a genius. He just
never quite had the time.
-
It looks like
the auctioneer's here.
-
[creaking]
-
[crash]
-
man: What's in my pocket?
-
Well, it's a key.
-
And it's got a really neat
little logo there.
-
[engine turning, revs]

This is a Lamborghini.

And this is my life in a day.

For my teeth.
-
man: I have nothing
in my pockets. Zero.

There's nothing in my pockets.
-
They're empty.

Money, lots of cash.

How much is a lot?

Two-fifty.
-
man speaking native language:
How much?

boy speaking native language:
Two soles fifty.
-
[man speaking native language]
-
man speaking native language:
Is that box your daddy's?

boy speaking native language:
It's my brother's.
-
To make a lot of money.
-
man speaking native language:
Hello, Abel.
-
Are you well?
-
It's Saturday again.
-
[men speaking native language]
-
man: The cold weather is here
and August will be worse,
-
so you have to
keep warm, Abel.
-
boy speaking native language:
Hey you, this is my patch.
-
[men speaking native language]
-
boy speaking native language:
Sometimes I make five soles.
-
When I was little, I once
earned 20 soles in a day.
-
[men speaking native language]

man speaking native language:
Bye. See you next Saturday.
-
man: What do you have
in your pockets?

It's my knife.

Okay, you can go ahead
and judge me all you want,

but there are some crazy people
in the world.
-
woman:
My Ruger P94

.40-caliber handgun.

Yeah, I will show you.
-
man speaking native language:
Can I talk to them?

man #2 speaking native language:
Yeah, yeah.
-
[goat bleats]
-
man speaking native language:
My story is, I can't work,
-
because who else would look
after my kids?
-
My wife passed away,
my children's mother.
-
I've got a 20 year old son
who is sick.
-
He's a retard.
-
We have to tie him up all day
to stop him wandering off.
-
Fourteen people
live in this place.
-
We have no electricity,
no water, no drains.
-
But we are still alive.
-
God will not forget us.
-
He created us.
-
That is what I believe.
-
God wouldn't have created this
population just to forget us.

Ayomatty:
My name is Ayomatty.
-
I've been in Dubai
for 13 years.
-
I work as a gardener,
-
and I am very happy.
-
man speaking native language:
There is no work at home.
-
It's more profitable
to come to Dubai.
-
I'm here to earn money
to send back to my kids.
-
man speaking native language:
Pray, be seated.
-
woman: All you think about
is your belly.

Goddamned thistles everywhere.

And you think I'm a prick.
-
[laughter]

man: This is how
brynza cheese is made.

When all liquid is removed,
the cheese becomes very good.

Nearly as good

man: Oh, gross, huh?
-
Look, let's put some salt
right there.
-
That's salt.
-
And then watch this.
-
[laughter]
-
[women singing
in native language]
-
man speaking native language:
How does it work?
-
man #2: Well, it goes in
and out again, like a needle.
-
It doesn't fire bullets.

Nothing comes out of the gun.

Ah, I see.

Jack: Today is Saturday,
-
the 24th of July.
-
For the last three years,
I've been away from home
-
to do my degree.
-
And as soon
as that finished,
-
I ended up getting a job
at a very demanding company.
-
So I don't really get
to see my old man that much.
-
But whenever I do see him,
-
we always go to the same place
-
and do the same thing
and have a catch-up.
-
man: I just phoned you.
-
Jack: Yeah, I just got it,
actually.
-
I was about
to phone you back.
-
man: How you doing?
All right?
-
Jack: Yeah, not bad.
man: Mouthful?
-
Jack: I'll have a mouthful.
-
man: You sort the tire out?
Jack: Um...
-
man: That tire's fucked.
-
Jack: I haven't had time.
man: That tire's fucked.
-
You'll get done for that.
Seen it?
-
You got a rip in it.
-
Jack: Is that a rip?
-
man: Why don't you film
down there, Jack?
-
Let's see if we see a cup.
-
Come on, that's it.
Jesus.
-
You're not a student now,
you know.
-
You're a working man.
-
There's no excuse.
-
Just here.
-
man: Is this
where we're going?
-
Jack: Yeah.
-
man: Two small beef burgers,
believe it or not.
-
Imagine what the large ones
are like or the medium ones.
-
Ridiculous, isn't it?
Unbelievable.
-
Anyway, here you go, Jack.
-
This way.
I'm gonna sit in the car.
-
[seagulls crying]
-
What do you got?
-
Jack: This.
man: Oh.
-
Is this bit a photograph
of you at uni?
-
Jack: Yeah.
man: Fantastic.
-
That's fantastic.
-
I'm gonna get
a lovely frame on that,
-
'cause Nina's got a frame
like that.
-
[laughs]
-
That's really cool, Jack.
Thank you.
-
Now, you should be very proud
of yourself, Jack,
-
considering you almost
got chucked out of school.
-
You was lucky there,
weren't you?
-
Yeah, you've matured, actually--
actually, in the last year or so
-
quite good
into a real proper lad,
-
a real gentleman
and a nice boy.
-
[engine turning]
-
Thanks for that, Jack.
-
man speaking native language:
Who do you love a lot?
-
boy speaking native language:
My dad...
-
because he brings me fruit.
-
He cooks my lunch,
-
makes me breakfast.
-
He prepares everything,
all the food we eat.
-
He cares more about me
than his work.
-
The thing I love the most
is my laptop.
-
In Wikipedia, there are
stories, history, math,
-
science, religion.
-
It has everything.
-
It is a giant library.
-
[birds chirping]
-
man: I love being me.
-
I love life.
-
It's all such fun.
-
man speaking native language:
Myself, I'd have to say...
-
woman speaking native language:
Placing my feet in wet sand.
-
It has to be wet.
-
woman: Grass, dirt...
-
dirty river smell.
-
Mm, the smell of a campfire
that gets stuck in your hair.
-
man: Coated chicken
baked in the oven
-
with seasonings.
-
man:
What do I love the most?
-
Well...
-
you're looking at her.
-
[crying]
-
man: I really love my family,
-
my brothers and sisters.
-
woman speaking native language:
Being with my children.
-
And taking care of them.
-
man speaking native language:
And now I'll introduce you
-
to the person I love
most in the world.
-
Hello.
-
girl speaking native language:
Hello.
-
man:
What do you love the most?
-
man: Women.
-
So much.
-
man: I love you, Uliya.
-
You are my only love.
-
You are my first love.
-
For me, love is all about you.
-
woman speaking native language:
Do you love your husband?
-
woman #2:
Yes, you have to.
-
man: I love my wife.
I love my son.
-
I love my land.
-
I love my animals--
-
my dogs, my ferret,
my chickens, my horses
-
in the background.
-
I love my life.
-
But what do I love the most?
-
I love my Lord,
my heavenly Father,
-
my Creator,
from whom all blessings flow.
-
man: I love doing
about 150 miles an hour
-
down a motorway
in a good car.
-
man #2: [giggles]
-
man: I love football.
-
I think football
is the only sport
-
that bring people together.
-
woman speaking native language:
I love...
-
cleaning something that's really
dirty so you can see the result.
-
man: I actually love
my refrigerator.
-
It's such a cool thing.
-
It remains at one corner.
-
It keeps its mouth shut.
-
I love my refrigerator.
-
Nothing else
but my refrigerator.
-
man: What do you love?
-
man #2: Women.
-
man: What do you love?
-
man #3: Freedom.
-
man: What do you love?
-
man #4: Power.
man: [laughs]
-
woman: I love the word
"mamihlapinatapai."
-
It's from the Yaghan language,
-
which is now a dead language.
-
But it was spoken
in Tierra del Fuego,
-
the very southernmost point
of South America.
-
I've never heard the word
said properly,
-
so I could be pronouncing
it wrong.
-
But the meaning
is quite beautiful.
-
It means that moment
or feeling
-
when two people both want
to initiate something,
-
but neither wants to be
the one to start it.
-
It can be
perhaps two tribal leaders
-
both wanting to make peace,
-
but neither wanting to be
the one to begin it.
-
Or it could be two people
at a party
-
wanting to approach each other
-
and neither quite brave enough
to make the first move.
-
[birds calling]
-
Can hear the kookaburras now.
-
[line ringing]
-
man: Currently,
I'm calling my mom
-
to ask her what I should say
to Emily today.
-
[line ringing]
-
woman: Hello?
-
man: Do you have a second
to talk to me?
-
woman: Sure.
-
man: Tonight I am hanging out
with Emily.
-
woman: Okay.
man: But I was planning
-
on telling her
exactly how I feel about her.
-
And then I don't know.
-
So I was calling my mother
to see--
-
what should I say to this woman?
-
[woman laughing]
-
Okay.
-
I don't know.
I just think that, you know--
-
just concentrate
on the fact that, you know,
-
you have very, very high
feelings of esteem for her,
-
that she's somebody
that you've always admired.
-
man: "Esteem"?
Is that the word I should use?
-
Esteem?
-
You think she'd like that?
-
woman: Yeah. Whatever.
-
man: I just don't know
if that's--
-
woman: You hold her
in very high regard.
-
man: Ok--I don't know
if those--
-
woman: She's a special person
in your life.
-
man: Okay.
I'll try all that.
-
Hey.
I am on the train now.
-
This is my friend Emily.
-
[romantic music]
-
Uh, hello, "Life In A Day."
-
I'm still with Emily, and we're
still hanging out in Chicago.
-
Um, this is...
-
We--we just came out
of this place, which was cool.
-
But, uh, I'm gonna
leave this thing on
-
in case anything
gets climactic.
-
man: Theresa, look at me.
-
Theresa: [scoffs]
-
Oh, my God.
-
Oh, my God.
-
Aah!
-
[romantic music continues]
-
man: Well,
so here's the deal.
-
Uh, I asked her
if she wanted
-
to go on a romantic date
with me sometime,
-
and she says, "No."
-
Just--just no.
-
That's really all she said.
-
Just "no."
-
She didn't want any of that.
-
Ever, possibly.
Never, ever.
-
And so, uh...
-
Well, actually, I said,
-
"What about the possibility
of a possibility?"
-
And she said--
She said no to that.
-
No possibility.
None.
-
woman: Okay, let me say
that it is meant
-
for women to kneel down.
-
For example, a woman is supposed
to kneel down for a man.
-
man: Mm-hmm.
-
Do you want to show us
how you do it?
-
woman: Yes.
-
man: So you greet Moses, like,
traditionally.
-
[Moses speaking
native language]
-
man: Wow. Wow.
-
Moses,
how do you feel about it?
-
She comes, and she kneels down
every day?
-
Moses:
Yes, because I'm a man.
-
She has to respect.
-
woman: It's the culture.
-
[upbeat music]
-
[cheers and applause]
-
man singing: Wise men say
-
only fools rush in.
-
But I can't help
-
falling in love with you.
-
David: Hi, Grandma.
It's David. How are you?
-
I'm good. I'm still--
Yeah, I'm in New York.
-
It's--Yeah, it's been really
hot here, but I'm having fun.
-
Uh, anyway,
I wanted to call you,
-
because, uh, you know my friend,
uh, Nick, that I--
-
that you've met a lot...
-
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
-
He's a very nice boy.
-
Uh...
Well, I wanted to tell you
-
that he's, um, not--
not just my friend.
-
He's--he's my boyfriend.
-
Um, and it's something that I've
wanted to tell you for a while,
-
but I wasn't really sure
how you would react,
-
so I was a little nervous
to tell you.
-
Um...
-
I-I love you too.
-
Yeah.
-
I love you too.
-
And I'm hoping that--
-
that maybe
you can love Nick too,
-
um, because he's
really important to me,
-
so I'm hoping
he can be really--
-
really important to you too.
-
Yeah.
-
Well, that--
that means a lot to me.
-
Yeah. Thank you.
-
I--Yeah, I love--
-
I love you too.
-
I do. Yeah.
-
Yeah, my parents know.
Yes.
-
Well, Grandma,
they call it being gay now.
-
You don't have
to say "homosexual."
-
It's not--Yeah.
-
Yes, it's not a disease.
Thank you.
-
man: Here, throw some cheese
to those ducks.
-
Get closer to them.
I'm taking a video, Sarah.
-
Sarah: They might bite me.
-
man: No, they won't bite.
Ducks don't bite.
-
Come on.
I'm making a video.
-
Walk on out into them.
It'll be a good video.
-
man #2: Would you like me
to take both of you?
-
man: Oh.
-
man #2:
Take another picture of you?
-
man: Thank you.
-
man #2: Just tell me
what do you want me to do.
-
man: Just...just...
-
man:
So marriage truth number one--
-
uh, love is a battlefield.
-
[laughter]
-
Um, listen, you two are going
to fight like hooded roosters.
-
Let's just get it out there.
It's science.
-
You know, place any two animals
in a contained area together,
-
um, you know, there will be
awesome tenderness,
-
but also there will be blood.
-
[laughter]
-
Tristam: That is my pocket
Walt Whitman.
-
He was surely one of the
greatest poets that ever lived,
-
and if my babies can read
Walt Whitman day and night
-
and learn from him,
I'll be very happy.
-
After all, babies, he did say,
-
"I am August.
-
I do not trouble my soul
to vindicate itself."
-
No, he didn't say "soul."
He said, "I do not trouble..."
-
woman: That's enough, Tristam,
you'll use up all the memory.
-
This is self-indulgent, and--
Please stop.
-
They need winding.
Please stop, Tristam.
-
Tristam:
"I do not trouble my spirit..."
-
woman: Stop being so selfish
and putting yourself first.
-
Please, I've been looking
after them all day.
-
Just stop it.
-
Tristam:
"I do not trouble my soul to--
-
"I do not trouble my spirit
-
to vindicate itself
or be understood."
-
woman: Okay, fine.
-
man: Ann and John
are today renewing their vows
-
in the light of their 50 years
experience of marriage.
-
Rather unusually,
each of this special couple
-
has agreed to write
the vows of the other.
-
That is,
Ann has written John's vows,
-
and John has written Ann's.
-
man speaking native language:
Pull, pull.
-
woman speaking native language:
This one doesn't lift me up.
-
[man laughing]
-
woman speaking native language:
There is a new one over here.
-
[man speaking native language]
-
man speaking native language:
Oh, gosh.
-
You have to pull on this one.
-
Can you manage it?
-
woman speaking native language:
Nope.
-
man: You have to pull
using your dorsal muscles.
-
woman speaking native language:
It won't budge.
-
[man speaking native language]
-
woman speaking native language:
IT WON'T BUDGE.
-
man: John, it is necessary
-
to address
one or two shortcomings
-
in, uh, the physical side
of marriage.
-
Surely no one would argue
-
that there are certain
physical demands
-
a wife can request
of a husband,
-
and Ann asks you that you
address these issues right now.
-
[laughter]
-
Do you agree to wash
the windows inside and out?
-
[laughter]
-
man speaking native language:
It's like at the gym.
-
You grab here,
-
you grip there,
-
and you position yourself
with parallel feet
-
so you can use
your dorsal muscles.
-
Then you pull.
-
[woman laughs]
-
woman speaking native language:
Oh, really?
-
man: Ann,
John asks if you will agree
-
to let him do that thing
-
you once told him you would
let him do on his 40th birthday,
-
but still not have yet done.
-
[laughter]
-
So, Ann, in anticipation
of your previous answer,
-
John says, "I suppose
an occasional blow job is..."
-
[laughter]
-
woman: Are you trying
every possible way?
-
I told you it won't move.
-
It won't move.
-
So, what was it
you were saying?
-
[laughter]
-
man: Finally, in spite of men
obviously being from Mars
-
and women from Venus,
-
do you both promise to love
and treasure each other
-
and enjoy your lovely
family life together
-
here at Appletree Cottage
-
for as long
as you both shall live?
-
both: We do.
-
[applause]
-
[clock ticking]
-
[dog snoring]
-
[clock cuckooing]
-
[timer dings]
-
man speaking native language:
Hey, get up.
-
What are you doing?
-
[man speaking native language]
-
man speaking native language:
So let's go.
-
Are we going?
-
Let's go.
-
[cat meows]
-
[P.A. announcement
in native language]
-
[horn blares]
-
girl speaking native language:
Helmet.
-
Good-bye, grandpa.
-
[laughs]
-
Climb up, skinny!
-
[man speaking native language]
-
[horns blowing]
-
[band playing lively song]
-
man speaking native language:
Climb up, Virginia.
-
Go, go, slowly.
-
[man speaking native language]
-
[whimsical music]
-
man: Whoo!
-
[boy crying]
-
[cheers and applause]
-
[helicopter whirring]
-
[laughter]
-
man: Do the jerk.
Please do the jerk.
-
By the end, I'm gonna try
to get the commander
-
to do the jerk.
-
man #2: Aah!
-
man: Why you always
got to stick your tongue out?
-
Punch Eason in the face
right now.
-
man #3: Oh, my God!
-
man:
That's the Rebel Alliance.
-
And there's the Empire.
-
Masood: Hi.
This is my room.
-
And this is our garden.
-
So my name is Masood...
-
I live in Afghanistan, Kabul,
-
and I'm a news photographer.
-
Here is my house.
-
And he's my father,
drinking tea.
-
My mother is praying.
-
Farid, my brother, is just--
-
again is staring
in the refrigerator, as always.
-
Right now I'm in my car,
-
going to Kabul's old city,
to take some pictures.
-
Sometimes I like
to just walk around there
-
looking for a good shot.
-
These are like my two babies.
-
I carry them everywhere.
-
[woman speaking
native language]
-
[Masood speaking
native language]
-
woman:
Here I am by myself,
-
because my husband is
-
a half a world away,
-
going to work,
fighting for us.
-
What shirt should I wear?
-
Which one do you think
will Phil like better?
-
Hmm?
Which one do you think?
-
That one?
Is that one the best?
-
Masood: Here is the market
in the old city.
-
Most foreigners
think that it is dangerous
-
to walk around
the streets of Kabul,
-
but as you can see,
there is no danger...
-
for us, anyway.
-
woman: Waiting game.
-
Waiting game.
-
[birds chirping]
-
Masood:
So this is a street
-
that's normally selling
birds like this.
-
They call them lovebirds
-
because they are always
kissing each other.
-
Sharon: Oh.
-
Where are you?
-
Ooh.
-
Phil: Hi, Sharon.
-
Sharon: Hi!
-
Phil: Hi.
Sharon: How's it goin'?
-
Can you see me?
-
Phil: Yeah. You did get
all dressed up, didn't you?
-
Sharon: Yes. Of course.
It's our date night.
-
[children chattering]
-
Masood:
Afghanistan comes--
-
the name of my country
comes with the conflict, war,
-
suicide attack,
and all the negative points
-
that we--I mean hear
and listen in the news.
-
But there is another side
of Afghanistan
-
that you don't normally see.
-
These girls make me
feel optimistic
-
about the future
of my country.
-
Phil: I love you.
-
Sharon: I love you too.
Stay safe.
-
Phil: I will, honey.
You too, okay?
-
Sharon: Okay.
-
Phil: Bye.
Sharon: Bye.
-
[sniffling]
-
man speaking native language:
It's not easy
-
to explain motivation.
-
Can I do something
to reunite Korea?
-
It looks impossible.
It looks out of my hands.
-
But impossible is possible.
-
Bobby: Dad, do you see
my war?
-
Oh, and the red is bad,
-
the white is good
of the helmets.
-
[imitates gunfire]
-
Oh!
-
[humming]
-
man: Oh, it's not so bad.
Cathy: No?
-
Is there something that's
bleeding under my arm?
-
Let's see if we can
just get this.
-
man: Ew.
Cathy: Oh, oh, oh!
-
Oh, what is it?
[man chuckling]
-
Cathy: What is it?
-
man: Looks like
some kind of--
-
Cathy: Did that
come out of your hair?
-
man: No, it was on my bag.
It's a ladybug.
-
Cathy: Oh.
-
girl: Any kind of monster
or ghosts
-
or a witch.
-
boy: Zombies.
-
man:
What do zombies do?
-
Okay.
You do a great zombie.
-
girl speaking native language:
Snakes and ghosts.
-
[man speaking native language]
-
man speaking native language:
When I come to work at 1:00 A.M.
-
and I hear little noises
here and there.
-
That scares me a little.
-
woman: I have a fear of dogs.
-
woman speaking native language:
Cats.
-
man speaking native language:
Rats.
-
boy speaking native language:
Lions.
-
woman: Wasps.
-
woman: Spiders.
-
girl: I fear...
robbers...
-
rapers...
-
girl: I fear growing up.
-
man: I'm afraid
of losing this place.
-
woman speaking native language:
Cultures I don't understand.
-
man speaking native language:
I am scared of Allah,
-
nothing else.
-
woman speaking native language:
I fear nothing.
-
[woman #2 speaking
native language]
-
woman speaking native language:
God only.
-
girl: I'm afraid for all the
people that don't know God.
-
People who don't get saved
are going to hell.
-
man:
I afraid of homosexuality.
-
Homosexuality is like...
-
is like disease,
and I'm afraid of disease.
-
man: I stay in my room,
and all I can think about
-
is whether in a couple of years
someone else is gonna live here,
-
someone who is not Israeli,
maybe...
-
maybe someone Palestinian.
-
man: I guess politics
scares me more than anything.
-
I wonder if we're gonna get
in another war.
-
man speaking native language:
When I leave home
-
in the morning, I'm not sure
if I'll return home safely.
-
No Afghans expect to
return home safely.
-
woman speaking native language:
Time is passing,
-
and I don't have
a boy or girl
-
and no one will ever
call me "mummy."
-
man: One of the things I fear
more than anything right now
-
is that my hair's
starting to fall out.
-
woman: This is me.
-
This is what I'm afraid of.
-
woman: That my husband
will leave me for another wife
-
because of a lack
of you know what.
-
child speaking native language:
Divorce.
-
Divorce. How awful!
-
woman: I fear loneliness.
-
man: Not waking up
one morning...
-
and nobody finding you
for a week.
-
That'd be interesting.
-
woman:
Losing someone you love.
-
That's why I find it
very hard
-
to really, really connect
with someone.
-
Because, what do you do
when they're gone?
-
girl: Because what if God
isn't real?
-
I believe in Him,
but what if God isn't real?
-
And we're just going to lie
in the ground, dead forever?
-
woman: And that's what
I'm afraid of,
-
being in this grave.
-
Life is so freakin'
short, you know?
-
man: Dying, I guess.
-
[animal bells ringing]
-
[thunder rumbling]
-

[man speaking native language]

man: The dogs are
frightened of thunder.
-
man speaking native language:
Yeah, they're scared.
-
man: Vasya, we need to find
some fireworks somewhere.

Because in autumn,
wolves will come.

It's going to rain!

Unreal. Unreal.
-
Look at the side.
What are they doing there?
-
Look at the fighting there.
-
We can't get out.
-
man speaking native language:
Not normal, bruv.

Stop this shit!

[overlapping shouting]
-
man: A tunnel
has become a death trap.
-
At least 18 people were kicked
or crushed to death
-
in a stampede during
The Love Parade in Duisburg.
-
woman: Many of the hundreds
of thousands of revelers
-
were unaware
of the tragedy unfolding.
-
[uneasy musical buildup]
-
man singing:
I want to drink
-
from the greatest water.
-
I want to have
all the things I ought to.
-
I just want to know that
-
I feel strong, you know.
-
I want to reach
the golden fountain,
-
beat everyone
without all the doubting.
-
I just want to know that
-
I feel strong, you know.
-
And clouds really
should be white at least,
-
and oceans should be there
at the beach.
-
And who needs books
when we've got speech?
-
And who knows what's in store
for raw love?
-
Life, a penny at a time.
-
Oh, love, life
a penny at a time.
-
Love, life
a penny at a time.
-
Oh, love.

man speaking native language:
When I close my eyes,
-
I can see all different people
in the world
-
from town to town,
from country to country.
-
I can feel it, I can touch it,
I can see it.
-
I feel like born again
because of my haircut.
-
It's time to continue
my journey.
-
man: Who do you love?
-
Cathy: My silly boys,
the Bobby-ells.
-
Okay. What do you fear?
-
man: Well, I guess...
-
I'm fearless now.
-
I guess my fear was
that you'd get cancer,
-
and you did.
-
That you'd get it again,
I mean.
-
And you did.
But it's over with.
-
So I'm fearless.

woman: July 24, 2010.
-
It's nearly midnight now,
-
and I'm running out of time
to make this.
-
I worked all day long,
on a Saturday--yeah, I know.
-
The sad part is...
-
I spent all day long hoping
for something amazing to happen,
-
something great,
something to appreciate this day
-
and to be a part of it
and to...
-
show the world that
there's something great
-
that can happen
every day of your life,
-
in everyone's life.
-
But the truth is,
it doesn't always happen.
-
And for me, today...
-
all day long,
nothing really happened.
-
I want people to know
that I'm here.
-
I don't want to cease
to exist.
-
[thunder rumbling]
-
I'm not gonna sit here
and tell you
-
that I'm this great person,
because...
-
I don't think I am...
at all.
-
I think I'm a normal girl,
-
normal life.
-
Not interesting enough...
-
to know anything about.
-
But I want to be.
-
And today...
-
even though...
-
even though nothing great
really happened,
-
tonight I feel
as if something great happened.
-
[thunder rumbling]
-
[water dripping rhythmically]
-
man singing:
I want to drink
-
from the clearest water.
-
I want to eat
the things I ought to.
-
I just want to know
-
that I feel strong,
you know.
-
I want to reach
the greatest mountain.
-
Climb, if I want,
without all the shouting.
-
I just want to know
-
that I feel strong,
you know.
-
And clouds really
should be white at least,
-
and oceans
should meet us at the beach,
-
and I don't want
to overreach
-
When I know what's in store,
raw love.
-
Life, a day at a time,
my love.
-
Life a day at a time,
don't know.
-
Love.
-
Life in a day
and life in a day
-
and life in a day
and life in a day...
-
I want to drink
from the clearest water.
-
I want to eat
the things I ought to.
-
I just want to know
-
that I feel strong,
you know.
-
I want to reach
the greatest mountain.
-
Climb, if I want,
without all the shouting.
-
I just want to know
-
that I feel strong,
you know.
-
And clouds really
should be white at least,
-
and oceans
should meet us at the beach,
-
and I don't want
to overreach

when I know what's in store...

haunting melody continues]
