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?
惊人的想象力，但是没讲好一个故事，整个电影就像一台没有发动机的极品跑车。
就像你生活中遇到那种，你得承认他真的真的很牛逼，但就是没办法和他做朋友那种人
制作真牛啊……构思、造型、流畅度、精致度、布景、打光都是定格动画最高水准，很难想象工作量究竟有多大，堪称奇迹了

配乐和美术值三星，一星给不明觉厉的故事，凌晨看这个属实是跟没有熬夜反而是做了个噩梦一样。
杰尼斯真是德国90后的杰出代表啊，德国男色的标杆啊！这片从英德两国两个小翻译的视角解读了大战前夕，让我想起那部一战前夕的剧，以英德两国两个小机要秘书的视角反映的战前局势，最终他们改变不了历史的滚滚车轮，终将踏上战场，那部剧结尾，两个小机要秘书换上各自国家军装那一刻，泪崩😭 这一部结尾虽然没给这幕，但是想想都难受不行，英国小翻译肯定是要去皇家空军了…德国小翻译在祖国与信念之间抉择，更煎熬…
诡诞猎奇，血腥夸张的画面使我几乎是皱着眉看完前半部分，后半部分分心了，因为我害怕若将我完全投入我会变疯癫。这种艺术形式对我来说还太过超前了，猎奇得注定不是为主流人群所做的作品。
本来我在无精打采的拨柚子吃，然后发现画风逐渐变态，你要是这个风格我可不困了啊……
出色的美术和令人严重不适的重口味混合着似是而非不知所云的故事……不推荐，除非口味极重，是真的生理不适到反胃。
不爱的都觉得它"疯"了。爱的都认为它"神"了
全程无对白 剧情方面见仁见智 但这种类似定格动画的方式还是挺有感觉的
6.5
我需要精神污染来净化心灵，我需要向我的梦境里植入光怪陆离
如地狱般的场景却令人惊叹这也是人间的存在。
零散的看出一些隐喻，各种朋克风的末世设定很迷人
场景极多，有几个还相当宏大；风格也非常极致，兵人、废土、怪物、工业朋克等等。
讲得很抽象，又碎片化，还有许多血腥恐怖画面比较无聊
想看明白那是挺难的，没几十年精神分裂的功底是不行的，不过确实如人所说，挺牛逼的！
除了画面比较有冲击，想象力隐喻和讽刺的情节🐮
