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?
还不够飞，和《妈的多重宇宙》中和一下就恰到好处了。
每次宣传都说凯奇翻身了，然后每次看完都被骗了
一般吧… 我对凯奇最深刻的印象是《战争之王》《火柴人》那种复杂癫狂感，我觉得他搞不好再也演不来了
三星半吧。算是聪明上乘的喜剧片了。我是资深Cage cult成员，出的奇奇怪怪的B级片我都看的津津有味。这片最好玩的地方就在于你不能说它第三幕又长又爆米花，因为导演编剧在第二幕就说了：本意是想做character driven focus on performance的戏的，无奈好莱坞要有trailer hook于是第三幕就只能绑架女儿追车爆破戏码逐一上演了。导演用非常有趣的方式突破第四道墙，直接的和观众交流了。Cage把wild at heart那个角色挖坟出来跟自己演对手戏，绝对可以排进年度喜剧moment前三。Nicolas fuckinnnnnnnnnnnnngggggg Cage!
Paddington 2 is incredible!
凯奇想靠这个翻身着实有点困难，戏里戏外身份呼应还算个噱头，但后半段来了出连姆尼森式救女就很无聊了，而且论搞笑还没佩德罗出彩，爬墙那段真的又蠢又好笑。
只是调侃了一下自己的现状，上一个调侃自己还整成电影的明星是谁呢？我不太记得
犹记《我心狂野》他与邓恩的精彩表现
笑死哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈我好爱这种 影迷电影 充满了我这种浅层影迷看了也会觉得好笑的inside joke
7.5/10 凯奇粉丝的专属电影，皆大欢喜
两个名不见经传的编剧导演写了一个故事 真的说服了尼古拉斯凯奇来拍 又邀到一众明星 inspiring程度五星
Nick fucking……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………whoa cage ~
气氛挺好，可能预期有点高，觉得有点乏味。但我还是很喜欢凯奇的！
对了，曼达洛人，穿上你的盔甲，1V1000
No.2527 还挺好看的，但是结尾有点突兀，真真假假的有些混淆。

情节好好笑，编排也蛮妙的。最终我们都要学会怎么和自己和解。
凯奇自己和自己对谈说服自己必须去救女儿的一瞬间被打动了。
“不要蜜蜂，不要蜜蜂”那里真是笑死哈哈哈哈。
I think there were two Nicolas Cages. One is dead, and the other is about to.
