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?
Netflix年末日常圣诞合家欢电影“我说我们是朋友 大家说我们要当恋人 甚至我的约会对象都说我们该是一对”CP粉狂欢就对了 就是男主侧脸仰头实在有点像司徒建国 让我频频出戏
现实生活中男主会拒绝这么hot的健身教练？我不信
对这部电影来说，“套路”恰恰也是它的一个优点。早几年出来，可能会给满分。
无语啦！怎么会有这么无聊的电影。。明明看完预告好期待的题材。。尼克你该啊！这么闷活该追不到哇！
唉，觉得结尾仓促了。两情相悦不易，且行且珍惜。小黑的眼睛太深情了……滑雪教练也好啊，男主不懂珍惜，不过狠狠的共情了。
两个人都可爱得不真实，现实生活中的基佬都是睡过一万次还说只是把对方当姐妹的好么
？完全没看出来两人之间有什么磁力吸引的爱，超级牵强的啊…and最开始的完美情人果然最后都有个大惊喜就是出轨
白瞎了，服了，最后和自己9年的朋友谈恋爱，我和James 也不是不行
这么多年了。美国还是喜欢拍这种屎尿屁同志电影
圣诞爆米花电影，老套的朋友变爱人的剧情，但是圣诞节就不是要看这种cliche，全员无恶人的温情电影吗？ Peter还是那么可爱，里面还有sophie 客串。客观的讲整体一般吧，适合圣诞节应景看。2021.12.28 on line
近年Netflix聖誕電影的一股清流，兩個男主都很討喜很動人。
谁会不喜欢在圣诞季看chick flick rom-com！
大龄催婚，family-person，全家翘首等着你的相亲结果，谁能想到我竟然能在一个大洋彼岸的gay身上找到最强烈的情感共鸣呢？
2.5 故事线简单清新 但确实蛮无聊 打发时间可以看 主配角的颜值倒是很在线
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈的浪漫剧情，合不合理我在乎吗？
像是欧美网红的长篇vlog，加长版MV，健身教练好无辜……
太口水电影了，起码的感动观众都做不到，唯一亮点苏菲都没那么招人喜欢…
俗套的爱情电影 只不过换成了同性恋 没啥惊喜
甜甜甜！喜欢看 还有黑人小哥好帅！Jennifer还是那么好笑
看了感觉很勉强，剧情逻辑一般，不知想表达什么呢。
