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?
cliche又怎么样呢，文学nerd不能站起来吗！！！呃，我觉得现在的语境反而扼杀了很多本质主义的东西，或许也是多元化导致的？似乎两者总有一些冲突。不同和相同总是矛盾和统一的综合体……
片中的爱情和友情是真的羡煞旁人，作为主流制片厂的题材试水以经典新说的方式安全完成。今年的Pride Month以此拉开帷幕，后面还有Universal的作品『Bros』已经定档，好耶！
Is it a trend for those fag movies to use Perfume Genius? The soundtrack is so quirky and unsuitable. Conrad is hot as always. Maybe we will fall in love with (normal) people that don’t seem to match in the first place. Can’t agree more with Noah on Call Me By Your Name.
多一星给asian representation
兰尼斯特居然不救大儿子，这可不对劲啊！至于电影，拍的没有什么的波澜，没有把物资短缺的感觉拍出来
有趣的点有，但是不多。出场的每个gay都有完美身材给人的感觉还是重返异性恋视角俊男靓女那一套。
身材怎么都这么好，这么凸这么翘——这种电影是不是要提醒我我不是同性恋？
就，emm，同志版傲慢与偏见的确很有趣啦
就。。。看了一遍感觉更多是在讲友情，这里的爱情也乏善可陈。几个亚裔的演技真的很好。
终于有电影开始关注歧视链 但更希望是一部写实电影而不是梦幻公主系列 这不是大多数人的结局 不是这种不动脑都能猜到的结局
another fucking romcom🐶
及格的同志小品电影，还可以。最后有情人终成眷属的桥段还是让人开心的
我永远会喜欢“傲慢与偏见”这种戏剧模式。也会永远对“达西”先生心动。电影里will在酒吧里登台跳舞蛮戳我的。喜欢有教养有文化有钱有能力并且好看的人有什么错？所以我并不会觉得那些标榜自己找well education有什么好judge的。最难的不是你选择讲究还是将就，最难的是相遇。
套用老套的直男直女的故事情节又怎样，但是喜欢Noah和Howie之间的对话。尽情体验，创造属于自己的回忆。God knows what's going to happen tomorrow.
《Looking》姐妹篇的风格，同性的真情实感细腻呈现，杨伯文表现很不错，悲喜交加。不相信爱情的我嗑的也很爽.
不够好，但是让人想起《Looking》
作为喜剧不算搞笑作为同志片不算激情，但是亚裔主导的同志喜剧影片意义大于质量了。有句话很扎心，自以为看透所有人，其实自己总是预设最坏情况避免自己失望，我本人了
完全的gay版傲慢与偏见 编剧也太省事儿了吧？ 直接照搬啊 好歹搞点创意不行吗
Honestly it’s cheap haha, but Joel looks hot
gay version of Pride and Prejudice
