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?
前面讲故事有点啰嗦，铺垫太长了，逻辑上有点乱，感觉最大的赢家是那个乞丐，获得了一辆悍马。
这灵魂这么跳动法，第二次看也是看到困啦总算看完。
ks看起来真的演得好辛苦……但这片实在不太好看
半小时，看不下去了，同样讲drag queen，pose比这个的立意深刻多了...
歌还是好听的，就是剧情的各种转折比较刻意尴尬，浅尝辄止。
不同于《内在美》爱情片动作，这次是为了爱情的动作片。
不无聊，但是也没啥出彩的地方，普普通通，规规矩矩，看过就算了
灵魂换体的桥段类似一部老港片.除了片尾俱乐部枪战场面设计有点意思
令人睡着的电影。编剧负主要责任，对白尤其无聊拙略
有好几条命打起来不慌啊，最后枪战致敬疾速基努哥了
下载看的，开场相当惊艳，充满悬疑，后面就开始不合情理，凭什么就这么几个人换来换去要是换到死的咋办！还有什么鬼东西，竟然灵魂还能根据看到的人跑来跑去，完全没逻辑，凑合看看吧。。。
这风格老英国了，一股没有什么预算的味道。男主还挺好看的，前半截还可以(黑白西装那段全篇最佳歌舞)，后半截子可太俗了；回头去伦敦看看剧院版洗洗眼。
意外地好看，是跟着主角一起揭开谜底的类型。不过有点担心尹启相被锁住戏路了。
比较一般，人声演唱的部分插入的有点突兀。。。
妈妈演得我嚎啕大哭，爸爸演得我咬牙切齿。有机会一定介绍爸妈看这部片子，好奇他们的反应。
在最后穆斯林小姑娘化了妆，但是头巾还是没有摘掉...
有些cliché，不過還是很喜歡，尤其是歌舞的穿插吧，和drag queen的感覺很搭。喜歡那個 come out 兩次，嗯，人在成長中不斷坦承接受自己。
电影版比dear even Hansen 好，足球场一幕喜欢。没有了loco Chanel 的背景故事那段有点可惜。剧场版yyds
Suddenly, I vanished.
韩片已经将故事挖到了很深的地步，圆回来怕有难度了
