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?
3.5,前面感覺像一場囈語,男主更像是女主內心投射的幻像。
讨论话题可以,但是Leo这个角色实在是过于Sex Saint,上一次看到现实反差这么大的角色还是爱很美味的健身教练。
原来纽芬兰的英文是 Newfoundland,还真是简单直接呀
真太好了。开始是笑不活,没想到看到后面会感动到哭。敬你每一次自我审视与蜕变。
一个时代创伤被用这么温柔温暖的笔触抚慰 大哭一场的同时也感觉被治愈了
太好看了吧!每个角色都很有性格有记忆点,台词唱段幽默动人,陌生人之间的善意真美好。
三十六行,行行出状元,好敬业的鸭。
一波好几折好巧不巧终于在今天云看上了,剧里的主角说着911十周年纪念,我在剧外已经是911二十周年纪念了;也许正如我和CFA曲折的缘分一样,每件事都是有自己的时间吧。
温暖的故事。这部音乐剧演员好辛苦啊,全程扮演不同人物唱歌、还要搬道具、换衣服。
弥补去年被退票的现场,挑在911二十周年上线也很合时宜,主题嘛,来自陌生人的最大善意
I am an islander 来自陌生人的善意是这个世界的基石~女机长的独唱~旅途相遇的中年情侣的对唱等几首令人印象深刻
911祭,用欢乐来取代悲痛,用友情来化解仇恨。
对比当下的国产电影,这片手松一松可以五星了。
一直get不到这部剧如此之高的口碑,正是因为取材自真实事件,但剧里只是堆叠各式符号和煽情元素未免太投机取巧,缺乏诚意了。(不过cfa的舞美设计真的是很巧妙)
还只看过饭拍版。制作很精良,也能煽动我流泪,但其实我不能完全共情,事件离我太遥远了。
Where there is darkness,only light. 平复混乱的力量。
倒数第二场戏之前两星,问题不在于舞台设计有多么简陋,而是每个主要演员都拥有两个及以上的核心角色,导致本就停留太短的情绪根本没有渲染的空间,故事的阴暗面也被简单略过,直到最后才能感受到那种被历史车轮碾过的无力感,也与当下产生了共振。
女导演。没有放过「这是一场金钱的交易」,这很关键。所有的注意力都在女性愉悦上,完全没在意男鸭完不完美现不现实,女性愉悦大于一切。当然,这一点也使全片与各方面都完美的男鸭得以自洽。
wow,excellent!
