Plot Summary:American Dreams is chock full of concrete, discrete elements that comprise an American iconography of the past three decades. The film encourages a kind of perverse nostalgia for 'the good old days': Nixon's 'you don't have Nixon to kick around any more'; Elvis' response to questions about his gyrating style and the rumour that once he shot his mother; Patty Hearst's 'Tania' statement; Senator Ribicoff's reference to 'Gestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago'. All of which is punctuated by the music of the period and set against a composite image of Hank Aaron memorabilia (arranged chronologically, 1954-76, the span of the champion home-run hitter's major league career), and the sordid diary jottings of the would-be assassin, Arthur Bremer.
他的text-image-films喜欢的。你想不想也来个20年国家大事回顾（还好美国这些破事我都知道）然而画面统统是最爱的欧巴演艺生涯纪念品呢？物件或景物的质感都很迷人然后翻页快，还有金曲合集。这一部是音画字三重信息逼你选择or看两遍，鉴于手写草书看不懂自然舍弃这一层事后看介绍了（暗杀者日记=失落，棒球明星生涯=圆梦）
Multi-narratives, corresponding, constructing memories.
非常精彩！同时三到四个模态进行着叙述，两条主线角色以视觉通道（明星球员卡、数据记录、周边+日记）呈现两位美国梦的实现者，穿插声音通道的pop music、广播、演讲录音、登月音频等等塑造50-80年代事件的历史空间
观众被迫对影片信息进行选择：视觉部分是 听觉上则是美国五十至七十年代包括记录刺杀肯尼迪在内美国诸多政治历史事件的发言及每年代与事件背景相关的流行乐，画面由棒球明星汉克·阿伦的纪念物品以及屏幕下方滚动的刺杀民主党候选人的亚瑟.布莱默日记节选。两位对象以不同方式走向知名的道路形成对比。
well-composed ,indeed
