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?

被性吸引、被身体吸引、享受性的喜悦，享受荷尔蒙带来相互的快乐，多美的事呢
go find your own pleasure and chase it without shame!

我从来不觉得用身体赚钱是什么丢人的事情，但是如果我用身体赚钱又羞于启齿，男主还是挺可口的。。。
虽然只有两个人的戏，但是人物关系的渐近，和慢慢剖析出的人的性格和背景都非常有戏。感觉是很好的戏。
我们每个人活在世上一辈子，身上背负着多少道德、伦理、价值……等等，我们相互评判，又相互伤害；我们自我评判，又自我伤害……唯有放下，才能自由。
You have the mysterious gift of being a sex saint. 夸人就要这么夸。

剧本过于工整了，还有汤普森阿姨这惊天一脱，我的妈呀！[B+]
很感动。在性面前，没有人是自信、完美的，尤其是一个年华不再的女人，她的不安和“边界”的消解都太真实了。奇妙的是，电影切入的是一个非常“男性”的叙事视角，是个“性转版救风尘”的俗套故事。但在性欲与价值的神秘张力下，通过极其琐碎具体的焦虑，凭着故事的价值观与演员的坚定与真诚，最终竟完成了最“女性化”的表达。并且把两人之间、两人与自己之间、两人与他们所面对的世界之间的关系讲的透彻明晰，蛮厉害的。
人生的痛苦岂是几场与陌生人的性事就解决得了的。
I cried because it’s somehow so relatable and empowering for me对我来说比before sunrise更现实、更可能发生、更有意义、更现代的两性关系展示，一种随着成年愈发充斥我的孤独与羞耻的reflection，this is not and cannot be the solution to my problems but I’m so grateful that a movie like this can be made
尼采说的对，那些杀不死你的，终将使你更强大
看完真是热泪盈眶🥹，女性对自我身体的贬低在今天也是处处可见，到处是营销白得发光，瘦得有直角肩A4背……仿佛身体就是女性的原罪，更别提身体带来的快乐，那更是羞耻堕落的代名词，更有甚者被贴上荡妇标签……2022年的今天结合四周正在发生的一切，女性到底是走向使女的故事，还是走向解放，真的一言难尽。
pleasure is not a shame.看名字还以为是一个温情故事，但看完想到的是《女性瘾者》，不在于剧情，而在于启蒙、探索。
