David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.

就现在的苹果公司整人造人那生殖系统不得都是选配
我妻善逸只有一招，但一招能闪杀一切，也能单挑上弦。是否太偏心了T﹏T
关于克隆，网飞会拍政治惊悚片，苹果拍了讨论死亡的家庭伦理片。这部电影很苹果风，不差但谈不上多好看。相比于复制，我认为记忆更应该一次性转移，毕竟记忆才是造就我们独一无二的原因，这样所带来的伦理风险也相对较小。
寻回身份认同，寻回真正的nice和自我
情怀啊都是情怀！The marriage is a novel, not a short story, full of plot twists along the way.
平静、有张力，穿插回忆是我喜欢的风格，有点海边的曼彻斯特的味道，配乐很降临的约翰约翰森，可惜人早已不在了。阿里的独角戏，完成的很出色，奥斯卡有戏？画面景色精致好看，科技感符合苹果的调性。对于人性的挖掘有点浮于表面差点意思。
@@@（2021-09-12）鬼滅の刃 浅草編（鬼灭之刃 浅草篇）
“I love you,Cameron Turner. Always have. And always will.” 当你发现能让彼此发笑的唯一办法是一起回忆过去…… 又一个选择表达“延续爱”的导演。
情怀分很满，老太太永远是最喜欢的角色啊~小茶杯太帅了啊啊啊~拍电影还是很棒的，仆人们一起当群众演员好有爱（还记得他们以前采访的时候就说过自己也想化浓妆穿fancy的衣服，这就实现了~）唯一不能接受的就是家里这么大事儿家里大女婿都不带回来一趟的？？？
莫斯利先生才华横溢啊
🍎好喜欢搞这种科技奇观但是故事体量其实一集40分钟美剧就能说明白的温情科幻…男主还是不错但是这个故事明明还是BC当年短片Inseparable 比较好看
虽然珠世小姐帮我治疗过了，但伤并没有痊愈。
看着所有人都在成长或者老去，想想当时的时代背景。看到最后才猛然想起电影的标题。啊，没错呢。It is indeed a new era.
我想我也很难和自己的一生和解，我们都是。
《鬼灭之刃 灶门炭治郎 立志篇》Ep11-14，我妻善逸、嘴平伊之助（山猪面具男）悉数登场，鼓屋的设计相当精巧有趣，唯一不足就是善逸这个角色太过中二
最最喜欢的动漫有东京食尸鬼1-4，鬼灭之刃第二季游郭篇，当然还少不了进击的巨人1-4第四季。以及瑞克和莫蒂第五季，大家一起出发
喜欢这种调调，缓缓叙事，娓娓道来，表面溪流入场，里面暗潮涌动，纠结与挣扎之后，唯有爱，让一切和解，技术的价值判断在善与恶之间，最终的解决方案，还是爱，虽然主旨俗套，但表演不俗，拍摄不俗，音乐不俗，观感自然不俗。
四分半吧，总觉得有些东西没有拍到，好像少了点什么。
