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?
剧情还是不合理，但是想表达的人生含义很清楚了
略显无聊的chickflick 唯一亮点对我来说是Brit的青春梦想最后变成开lyft的alicia silverstone的时候 突然有种超现实的割裂感 但她还是好美哦
他笑起来真的好治愈呀！人生本就是一场漫长的寄宿，我们都要好好活下去！
3.5 图书馆录入Virginia Woolf的The Waves时说no one would read this😂
一星给Joshua Colley 一星给Justin Hartley
虽然结局有些强差人意，但喜剧好玩就行了！有些讽刺zzzq的地方笑死
原来是《意外幸运签》啊。就说咋剧情那么熟，看过动画和泰版，可惜一直没有找到过2000电影版
这个冷笑话够冷够好笑的😂
Rebel Wilson怎么瘦了那么那么瘦了！！无脑喜剧但也传达了重要的信息-why fit in when you stand out?
带我重回千禧学生时代，很多老歌一响起有一种莫名的感动
其实我觉得还不错 是那种不用动脑子的那种好笑的电影
还以为是电视剧……头一次看不下去………………
好久没看到美国青春校园电影了，看完竟然有些子感动。
看预告时很酷，还有蜘蛛侠的演员，又都是熟脸，还是有趣的。但总觉得他们不是在对对方说话，就是都非常夸张，像在对空气说话，不过新时代的校园真的很酷！就是都有点太假面了？
Yes
20年后的舞会女王！女啦啦队长的炽热的爱深沉又真意。有望2040年美总的女生说，也是啦啦队女主的后来内心觉醒：高中的生活很短暂，而十分美好，但断然不能决定以后的路怎么向前。即使结局没有在一起，有你陪我度过高中短短时光，亦却感谢我会放在心里永远永远。
虽然还是熟悉的美式校园套路 但是rebel瘦身之后原来这么好看的吗 20年前的歌单也太戳了啊啊啊啊啊啊 以及现在的zzzq放回去对比一下真是扎心了
海星 看到Martha Reiser长大后姬达响不停 直到她在车上说I’m gay 有点太准惹 另外无论是和高中陪伴到成年的Martha 或者是和死仇的女儿 都比和男一有兴趣点其实☹️
非常符合美式风格，像极了十几年前看的电影。没有超越狗血剧情，没有迫害陷害剧情，everybody大团圆，那个明星男孩是同
好欢乐的青春片。其实曾经我也以为考个好大学就是人生的终点，就像女主曾经相信成为舞会皇后就能得到完美人生。
