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?
就像霍普金斯老爷子演被阿兹海默症困在时间里的老人，角色和演员就会在无数个瞬间让你恍惚…看老演员演戏就会这样….
比预想中要好，原以为是部日式的，甜腻腻的爱情片。后来才发现是部虐恋，而且时间还是如此之长，当中的日式元素多到刻意，有种拍给外国人看的感觉，也难怪奈飞会选他。
不知道他们中有多少人给新西兰安乐死投了通过的那一票
“战争是毫无意义的血腥浪费”，说得真好，谁会不爱这样一个酷酷的抽烟喝酒枪法极准的奶奶呢。可能这就是亲情存在的意义，孤独的奶奶临终前找回了爱，和爱她的人一起看了日出。
比想象中的更加平淡。除了兰普林奶奶，基本上没啥可看的。
把我的松本穗香拍得这么丑，导演能不能切腹谢罪？
日本描述此类情节的片子也算不少了，这部算是小清新。感觉自己被忽视，被周遭人嫌弃的高二学生选择自杀，在管理员的帮助下给了他100天时间去调查真相，实际是给他一百天时间和一个旁观者的身份去重新审视自己的人生。每个人，都有人爱的……珍惜人生，珍惜眼前人……
全场除了我都是上了年纪的kiwi
-我已认不出你苍老的样子
感觉在讲早老病的可怕，get不到恋爱，健人抱着帽子哭得像恐怖片，猪鼻丑女又绿茶又咄咄逼人，感觉不到元气，请她远离我的视线，健人还是和小芝风花比较配，风花我觉得会好一些，会得到同理心。
Drinking is a good thing I love very much✌️
生病真的是太惨了 不想看苦情的 可以只看前35分钟（
那最后的日出
我和老公都被电影的慢给震惊到了
每一段不被提及的人生，可能充斥着伤痛而必须要深埋地下，如同那些无以言明的爱一样。拿Half Gin with half water当水喝的老太太，成功地调起了我的胃口，大下午的就给自己整了杯highball🥃
中规中矩，这部是不是之前拍过，剧情怎么感觉有点熟悉？杏奈戏份较少，演的感觉一般，男主演的倒是挺好，给个5星吧。这部还可以，希望Anna以后不要像以前一样再演烂片了。。。
兰阿姨一人撑起一部戏，电影好不好看已经不重要了，看她就够了！
离交作业还有两小时，我还在看这个，也是够了
其实衰老与死亡并不令我害怕 我害怕的只是不能优雅及有尊严的老去和离开！
新西兰真美。大致剧情走向能被预判，但这类题材重在演技和化学反应，兰普林再一次证明了她非凡的荧幕魅力。
