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?
2021年终总结无限等于人类社会人为非人为灾难➕我们一起看过的Netflix 剧。ps.布里奇顿的男主真的很hot
只能说这个OL服装还不错，遇到同样“性”趣的妹子也是运气好
【C-】虽然依旧很无聊，但还是希望网飞以后每年都能这么总结调侃一下。
2021年度梗（即使是以美国梗为主）大乱炖盘点，笑死如果放在2021最后一天看就更好了
先看的这个，喜欢！ “What I learned from 2021 is people learned nothing from 2020.” Cool!!! That would also be my comment for 2020 I guess.
看到难以置信的荒谬事情发生，总有种世界马上就要完蛋了的错觉。大家都会死，所以可以无顾忌地摆烂。然而眼下的困境才真实无比，世界尽管混乱不堪，普通人的生活依旧毫无波澜。话说回来，这种讽刺喜剧本身也是泛娱乐化潮流中的一员，不清楚真相的、“单纯”的群众，同样有可能被误导，被煽动，被当枪使。不管怎样，2022年的人们同样没有从2021中得到教训，时光飞逝，改变却来得太慢。
1、讽刺力度比2020去死差很多；
今年这版更多的是讲美国的社会现象。不过还是很适合以这部作为自己今年在豆瓣的最后一个标记，来表达自己对于今年的心情：fucking 2021
什么时候才能回到正常的世界呢……还是说the new normal will be the ‘normal’ hereafter, forever
年年似年年，年年盼年年
本来以为2020是谷底，2021只是告诉大家去年只是开始……
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，比不要抬头强点，毕竟这个是美国2021的写真。
每年的回顾总是在想今年是最垃圾的一年了然而之后的一年总能刷新认知
一年一度的国外重大新闻回顾，今年的评论家字字珠玑！
請每年來一部，直到彗星撞地球，哈哈哈哈。
没看这局之前，知道肯定有冲击国会事件，60分钟的时长，有差不多一半都是这个。这种嘲讽一年来一次也挺好，喜欢那个非洲口音的黑人医生。比较唐突的竟然有007这部不值得一提的烂剧。。
确实就是观察者网（美国）拍的，解构性基本就在即将马上无铲大联合的状态，不过从吐槽角度来看，它的另外面相也不会有那么强的效果，只是腔调让人厌恶而已。
什么时候才能回到正常的世界呢……还是说the new normal will be the ‘normal’ hereafter, forever
作为年终封面，太合格了，充满了对全世界的调侃，反讽和戏谑
好烂。纪录片干瘪，讽刺剧乏味，网飞就是个骗子公司……
