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?
西部片中的爽片,全员男人,枪战非常刺激,扣人心弦,90min短小精悍的片子真的没看过瘾,尤其是比利小子的死亡,悬疑十足,到底该相信谁?又或者他当时犹豫救人时在想什么呢?“我活在这个世界上已经是恩赐,我本来已经不属于这个世界”……很喜欢
西部牛仔版农夫与蛇的故事,让人伤心,更何况这个传奇农夫还帅了一整场
每當西部片中的少年變成了牛仔,男孩變成了男人,也就意味著可以結束了。簡單的故事無法抵銷對西部片的熾熱情懷。沒有女主但有女人。
这个西部片好看。 喜欢这个儿子。好勇。不喜欢无辜人员的死扣一星。
难得当下可以看到这么正统得西部片!没有话痨,没有黑人,画面充满质感。
满分好评~哎一代传奇就此陨落,希望儿子可以续写父亲的传奇
混乱的西部,开始的想法没错,黑吃黑。
西部片比较是我一直get不到的类型,但这部可看性还不错,那个白衣军师我说怎么看着眼熟,原来是疯狂小八,70/100
继《正义的仁慈》后,蒂姆·布雷克·尼尔森再度演技炸裂
后现代西部片,细腻、苍凉。比利小子依然神一般存在。
3星,故事简单,缓慢沉闷,但质感不错,有西部片的浓味。
有点模样 差点意思 不过嘛 西部片总要加点分
编剧很取巧,运用了比利小子英雄迟暮解甲归田谢幕之战这样的噱头看点,摄影技巧说得过去,前半段剧情进展过于缓慢,不过胜在结尾高潮部分枪战写实精彩
总感觉有那么丁点的沉闷和小格局,不过还是有西部味了
铺垫草率不可怕,可怕的是还给你来个自以为是热血结尾你受得了吗?
熊孩子穿越来的吗 格格不入啊 怎么长大的啊
不相信有救赎,能在其他人和事情上找到慰藉就很好了
西部片也挺好拍的,三五个人。慢吞吞的讲着话,骑个马跑来跑去,开几枪就拍完一部片子了。
三星半~
当我们看腻了西装暴徒格洛克,似乎西服三件套配CQB已经无法再刺激分泌肾上腺素
