Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse communities in the United States and the world. There are immigrants from every country in South America, Mexico, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and China. Some are citizens, some have green cards, some are without documents. The people who live in Jackson Heights, in their cultural, racial and ethnic diversity, are representative of the new wave of immigrants to America. 167 languages are spoken in Jackson Heights. Some of the issues the film raises-assimilation, integration, immigration and cultural and religious differences-are common to all the major cities of the Western world. The subject of the film is the daily life of the people in this community-their businesses, community centers, religions, and political, cultural and social lives-and the conflict between maintaining ties to traditions of the countries of origin and the need to learn and adapt to American ways and values. This is Frederick Wiseman's third film about communities, the others being ASPEN and BELFAST, MAINE. In these films, as in all his films, he is trying to present a broad and complex portrait of contemporary life.
@MoMI在美国社会结构之下，这种展现肯定有它的价值，不过如果你生活在美国的结构之间，那就是你日常智能手机里的片段。真的应该穿个厚长裤的，好睡得舒服很多。

活着太难了
纽约巴别塔....最丰富的社区.......巴别塔是《圣经·旧约·创世记》第11章故事中人们建造的塔。根据篇章记载，当时人类联合起来兴建希望能通往天堂的高塔;为了阻止人类的计划，上帝让人类说不同的语言，使人类相互之间不能沟通，计划因此失败，人类自此各散东西。此事件，为世上出现不同语言和种族提供解释。
纽约一个移民社区的日常。太琐碎了。
“It's not about race, it's about humanity.”
7.0/10。展示Jackson Heights，这个说着167种语言的世界上最多元化的社区之一，的日常生活与烦恼。牵扯的少数族群包括LGBT、西语社区、老犹太人、穆斯林、南亚裔、东亚裔，话题上除了一些日常还包括加入国籍、（拉丁）小企业主抱怨社区中产化、偷渡、歧视、Gay吧夜生活等等。总体上来说电影还是聚焦于LGBT和西语社区，其他的族群最多就是惊鸿一瞥（尤其是亚裔，其中东亚裔篇幅最少）。视听特点上典型的直接电影，无配乐、无淡入淡出（而是直接转场）、无旁白，人们表现的仿佛摄影机不在场。很多场景有大量对话，也是电影时间这么长的主要原因之一。
在油管断续看完
记得在一本书里看到，一位美国纪录片导演说：“看怀斯曼的纪录片像是在做梦。”看这部的时候我也有这种感觉，那种感觉大概就是：四处漫游，但又留下了点整体性的东西。
@hkiff 好长的纪录片我真的有点忍不住。。。对纽约也不甚了解，不过这个地方真的非常复杂充满了各种社会议题 @2016-03-29 14:47:47 @2019-11-21 23:47:06
第一部Wiseman 想纽约
大师真的不一样。the sense of place捕捉得太好了。很喜欢这种不依赖文学、认真发挥影像魔法的方式。
In Jackson Heights是一部很重要的observational film，這類電影在剪輯的時間邏輯上，就和其他類別的電影不同，因為它是不會通過剪輯來『縮短時間』的，也因此電影會看起來很長。
混杂矛盾的社区，三个小时的记录，沉迷于西班牙语的纽约空地。值得一看
Allowed me to observe the fascination that is NYC, America, and the humanity close up, in the comfort of my home, just as I liked.
