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?
很西部，好剧本，好镜头，也没有zzzq没有女没有尼，除了剧情为了镜头艺术感稍有点拖沓，整片都是很好的，全篇bgm使用率非常低，而且配乐慢很忧伤气氛烘托比起那些动不动辉煌到飞起的配乐真的要好很多，少油少盐越清淡才是难得
传奇英雄，永恒话题，以一敌十的个人英雄主义。画面唯美，摄影感人。
满满的西部风情，男主造型非常独特，很生活化，人物大都是脏兮兮的，拍得比较写实，没有一般西部片那种耍帅耍酷，但故事还是比较老套。
西部片也挺好拍的，三五个人。慢吞吞的讲着话，骑个马跑来跑去，开几枪就拍完一部片子了。
稳赢的局，后面非要中两枪加剧情，最后的死也是老套路了。
当年的牛仔不找掩体么？还有不要相信陌生人。
整体观感其实一般般，但这他娘才是西部片，前段时间出的那部全黑人的垃圾片也好意思舔着大脸说自己是西部片？我连片名都懒得记....
四星，平静的杀人，平静的死，像极了多数人的一生。
看的时候想起藤泽周平的武士小说，默默无闻的小人物，受困于艰辛生活，性格懦弱，被家人看不起，但其实是一个身怀绝技的侠客！

玩过大表哥，场景服装感觉很亲切。
有点模样 差点意思 不过嘛 西部片总要加点分
全篇就一场戏。。。有点漫长
西部片也挺好拍的，三五个人。慢吞吞的讲着话，骑个马跑来跑去，开几枪就拍完一部片子了。
廉颇不会老，不过有个拖后腿还瞧不起自己的儿子。
非常硬派的西部片，一个男人，守护他的孩子、领地和些许正义，结局太伤了
优秀的西部片太少了！节奏虽缓慢，导演见功底。情节虽简单，反转够给力。演技过硬，剧本扎实！
还可以吧，很多东西没交代背景，就那么说如何如何，有点单薄
you go see it
Old Henry has a gun, 砰、砰、砰砰砰！ 完～
