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.
剧情有一些割裂，或者是我的认知太浅显。前半部分新冠来袭真的好真实，让女主角从“小变态”的角色中脱离了，看到了小人物的力量与柔韧。但后面砸门自行带病人开展隔离是咋回事？ ……
这几部把敏后放在配角的位置是很明智的，但在话题上对我等普通人还是不太友好：创作瓶颈这种困境毕竟遥远，我还停留在投入不足的阶段。不过戳破和尴尬还是一如既往的好玩，也更显遇见另一个自己的难得，这是我能继续看的最大动力。
诗集和电影，戏里戏外的浪漫告白，全部给缪斯金敏喜。各种借电影喊话的明显意味，也挺有意思的。
第一部洪常秀，四星半-五星。观感有些奇妙，平常而不平庸，回味悠长。电影内容是小说家的电影，可这部作品算是电影家的小说/散文，洪常秀自己的。洪常秀以一种自然且随意的方式讲述着这个跟小说家有关的事情，却在最重要的“电影”上刻意忽略。他拍的很自然，我看的也很自然。
从help到helpless，老人和病人不配活着吗？个人的善意在庞大而失控的体制面前显得尤其无助，啾迪演得好
好喜欢预告片
当然，我们也有自己的至暗时刻，只是没有像这部影片一样被表达出来。朱迪科默演得非常好，在一部伪纪录片里，素颜上阵的她无比真实，让人完全相信她就是现实中不眠不休救护病人直至崩溃的医护人员。相信当时的武汉也有很多她这样的英雄。致敬！
社会意义重大。影片拍摄得，还是很真切。揭开伤疤，再次感受痛楚。4.5星
第一部洪常秀，非常具有实验先锋性，门槛高。听说是其风格转变后的作品，抛除抽象结构上的手段或是情绪的引导（一众韩影名导目前所做的），专注于具象的内容，将抽象部分（就像最后小说家的电影一样）留给观众自行想象。内容杂糅了导演的自我反思、小说家的电影对这部电影本身的照应、洪对金的理解与表白，以及对电影深层次的探索，从这个角度看更像是一次杂谈。讨论偶然与必然，仿若巧合般地把偶然松散的剧情引向必要的走向（告示板、女孩、人物间的际遇等等），不知道是导演举重若轻随心所欲的功力体现，演员即兴表演的能力，抑或是两者的有机结合。
天色尚早 但很快就要暗下来了 趁着白日漫漫，我们一起出去散步吧。
这部是洪常秀的大师课，他在很认真讲自己的电影概念：
浪漫至极的电影，结局那些画面看哭我，真美好啊。
不满镜头的美感不够以及摄影的载体太过于刻意，看到最后发现洪根本不在意这点，而正是想表达忙于镜头下被拍摄的人和人之间真实的联系，偶遇、虚伪、亲密、友好聚会，拍电影和写小说背后的秘密是没人关心的，最后拍得成功与否也不是重要的，好像以上这些就是正是要表达的核。秀恩爱的满屏浪漫在击碎我的心，告诉大家“你们真的不重要，我有敏喜！”。
从有疫情以来，看过的最棒的讲述新冠疫情的影视作品，导演有着非常成熟扎实的以平淡细节见真情的功底。看似平淡的生活，处处打动内心，我几乎从头哭到尾，可能曾经历过照顾垂危的亲人，感触特别深。Jodie comer的演技真的不错，在这部电影里看到了她还原自己的利物浦口音。什么时候我们歌颂医生的影视作品也能像这样深入真实的以小人物去探讨呢？这电影的摄影很有特点，都是中景之后特写，特写后还一直拉景别，一直拉伸到景别模糊，再慢慢回。挺大胆的。
小人物的命运，无论怎么抗争，都逃不过体制的力量。想起吹哨人要写保证书，想要保命逃离式隔离，却被拉回被疫情笼罩的没有人关注的角落里，告知是错误的。
很少女感
最后的金敏喜美得发颤。看着她手里拿着野花，唱着歌，无邪地笑着，全片都没有背景音乐，这时恰到好处地响起，突然热泪盈眶。
2020年2月24号，疫情最严重的时候，我曾客观地写下：
他的电影倒是让我意识到对日常生活的专注力不够。其实平淡的生活 每一个当下都可以活得很诗意。
