1937年深秋，欧洲为躲避战乱，欧洲中国医生成贤（秦汉 饰）携带怀有身孕的日本妻子理惠子（早乙女爱 饰）和孩子从上海逃到南京老家，他没想到南京也差不多快被侵华日军夷为废墟。被告知可以进入欧美列强势力保护的安全区避难时，成贤认为自己与难民身份不同没做理会，投靠了老朋友继续行医。以小学教师刘天琴（刘若英 饰）为代表的同胞的悲剧令他震惊愤怒，但他认为自己首要任务不是反抗暴敌而是尽职做好一名医生。同年冬天12月13日，南京全面沦陷，日军开始在南京疯狂烧杀淫掠，成贤终于意识到日军的残酷麻木，让妻子先行一步去安全区躲避，自己则留下来继续救死扶伤，他不知道的是，安全区早已名存实亡，而要反抗时，他发现已无可能。

回复 :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?
