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?
老师连着两次课都提了这部电影，我os：那我去看看吧
形式上做到很多了
三星半 戏剧再大的矛盾冲突其空洞的内容填补不了电影的细节，但风格化的尝试与挑战无疑是成功的。缺席的人在光影上已然惊艳到我一次，这一回表现的更加极致。
莎翁的東西無論怎麼改也還是魅力永存。畫幅和黑白的復古設定更是讓影片有了一絲高級感。
看的第二版Macbeth 为了看daniel craig版的百老汇版做准备
此刻观看体验是心跳加速血脉偾张......
麦克白和夫人的第一次对话太精彩了！
【非大銀幕 3.8/5.0】影片像是用一盏现代玻璃杯，盛了从朽木桶里取出的百年陈酒，酸涩的酒香先于味觉在光影中显现。古英语和戏剧化调度，在摄影（灯光、构图）的运用中展露最陈旧的新貌。麦克白的死法，原著中只提及人头落地，没有细写，我喜欢电影的处理，恶血伴皇冠坠落，生命随名利逝去。
Interesting shadows and lighting but why would you put a mid-century door that you can probably find on Wayfair in such a beautiful building? very disturbing. | Frances being Frances - must be satisfying for an actor to take on a role like this. | @ Coolidge Corner theater, with wine, Chardonnay in a cup and Sauvignon blanc on the coat.
ps.科恩嫂什么都好，就是走路姿势注意一下，自身走路方式太有标志性了
略失望吧，预告骗了属于是……影像上有一些惊艳时刻，声音设计也有点意思，但总体比较乏善可陈，观看过程一度感到无聊，究其原因可能是它在文本和形式上都无甚新意，风格化就只是为了风格化而存在，遑论像《灯塔》那样做到二者的自洽和互相支持。像有的评论说的，在《蜘蛛巢城》之后，再做这种改编可能已无必要了。B
舞台剧即视感，女巫造型满分，大段的台词看起来有些吃力，摄影特别讲究。
对我来说只是科普了一下世界文学。 摄影美学，光影，都一流。
4.现代种族价值的改编，黑人的加入，多了点政治正确。
舞台化的步光以及黑白选择，非常古典，电影化的电影。除了丹泽尔华盛顿的台词有点温吞，几近完美。有几个镜头及构图实在是美不胜收，这才是光影中作画。
这摄影！绝了！今年摄影天花板吧！台词听着太费劲，但它美啊！
美术和摄影确实是没话说，但，电影真的有必要做的这么话剧吗？麦克白值得一拍再拍吗？毫无代入感。
舞台劇的獨白，雖是黑白但是每幀都能感受到畫面帶來的鮮明感！每位演員的演技可以說是相當在線，整個佈景也是相當了得。
台词诗意，影片戏剧化，并不是拍莎翁的要领。
第3524-剧情上可能对这个故事太熟悉了，黑白影像并没有使气氛冷冽多少，皇宫那朴素简化空旷的环境给人一种干燥感，就这环境，抢这个王位真的好吗？
