James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?
不管怎么说，这个桥段总算把亚裔男性当人看了，谢天谢地欧阳万成只是戴了一副眼镜做蜡烛，而不是洗衣工或者CalTech毕业火箭男，下次设计人物背景的时候记得让欧阳万成定居西海岸，六三农场毕业——我在说什么？凯文科斯特纳的Dutton？
Love doesn't have to be perfect, it has to be honest.
还不错，挺有趣的，不过这个男主感觉更适合那种讲话刻薄的角色。最近这些亚裔脱口秀演员都拍起电影来了嘛，包括国内的脱口秀演员，也混得很不错。
男主太特么像郭麒麟了！
活在空气里的编剧写的一部乌托邦式爱情喜剧，送给前一个圣诞节。女主老得在很多帧看不出曾经吸血鬼日记里清纯可爱的模样。tegg真的帅，最后的结局也有点美女配野兽了。不必了不必了。
开头能猜到结尾的电影。
不该跟男二道歉吗？？？这个欧阳万成的表演真的是还没有他戏里的奶奶演的好…
啊，看了开头就知道结尾的剧情，但是看了之后好想过圣诞啊。岑哥我又看见你了，咋又帅了呢
圣诞电影啥时候能get over love actually 🙏🏻
好适合圣诞节看～男女主稍稍cp感弱了些，但整体效果还是不错的～
But then the insecurities creep in, and you start with a slight exaggeration. Still you, just a shinier version. But… you like it. So you tweak it just a little more until the real you, which was probably pretty great to begin with, is unrecognisable. / I’ve been so focused on other people’s dishonesty that I never really stopped to look at my own.
挺轻松的圣诞喜剧片 最后还是有点点尴尬 为什么看人家公众场合尴尬我也会这么尴尬？？？男生越看越像某个前男友 挺可爱
上一次看Nina，还是吸血鬼日记。时代的眼泪🥲
看到自己的孩子Jingyang长大，我就放心了。（不过这几部Netflix的片是真的差不多套路，也就节日看看还可以接受）
太好看了吧！！！太好笑了真的很戳我笑点，尤其最后love actually那一段真的笑到我跟我男人两个在床上打滚！然后真的很浪漫也很家庭非常适合圣诞看！这个是真爱至上之后我最爱的圣诞电影了必须每年看一次！五颗星！！！大家快去看笑死我了！！
有的桥段挺搞笑，但是感觉整部片就是为了结尾“致敬”，细节经不起琢磨，真较真起来得骂男主。
现代网恋的故事！万成的脱口秀不错。圣诞将至 应景现实 ！
Die hard is a Christmas movie period
的确很多女孩子喜欢欧阳这种外表一般但是暖暖的男的
为了Jimmy看的，前半段无聊到爆结局居然还有些感人？果然是Jimmy光环太重，女主有多奇奇怪怪都不重要了…
