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.
久说「我们是通过谈话在抚摸着彼此」，古说「太色了」，并且对「没有做」这件事情感到非常惊讶。让我想起以前看到的一则广播「过度的交流会诱发性欲。因为坦诚所具备的能量是无限巨大的，没有人能够完全承受另一个人的自我剖析， 更别提毫无保留地剖析自我。两个人当中总有一方会率先承受不住这种赤裸所带来的不安，这时候人们下意识地就会开始做爱。以及，在倾听的过程中，总会有那么一个瞬间会让人分不清是心疼还是心动。就是这个瞬间，这就是产生性欲的瞬间」
好久没看日影了，看得第一部滨口龙介。其实比起“偶然”设置的自然性，这样大段的台词才是真正困难的地方吧，台词不重，但是很有抓人之处。本来想说古川琴音已经很灵了，结果另外两位女演员完全不遑多让，森郁月好美
超现实视角下的去繁存简，虽然早已不是什么新鲜技法，但只要能站稳脚跟，就可以达到很好的效果。三段故事渐入佳境，戏剧性发展被刻意淡化，更多的聚焦在由大量对话一波一波而产生的潮水本身中。老洪终于开了日本分部，甚是欣慰。两者当然是存在着差别，对影像的尊重其实并无可比性。4.2
@ Ozubook｜后劲十足，看完后和其他观众一起讨论发现可以挖掘的东西非常丰富。而且男导演/编剧能给出这样的女性故事，太强了。顺便第三个故事太让人想起故人，无数次差点屏不牢。我其实就是被海报上这个蓝衣服的角色吸引去看的，结果真的是那样的设定……短发，在学校时很酷很男孩子气，程序员，居然和故人如此相像……是我私人的偶然与想象了
今年最佳！从未想过这样的关系如此错综复杂的情感走向在滨口龙介的镜头下可以拍的如此超脱轻盈最后看完都意犹未尽。《魔法》感情是缥缈虚无最后都归于想象于自然，《打开你的门》借由偶然发错邮件来引起一系列情感走向。《再度》是想象，人类病毒，音讯全无。滨口龙介的拍摄和探讨通过对白以及如同戏剧现场一样的拍摄让整个题目回归偶然又不止于想象。所用的一切演员和最终归宿都是情感。细细品味，历久弥新，后劲大。日韩都在人才辈出，而滨口龙介俨然是新一代创作大师了！

有人穿越时空 是为了改变整个世界 有人是为了改变自己的人生 还有为了让人喜欢自己 当然 也有像这一次一样 为了让自己最亲近的家人开心.但这一番历程中 最动人的不是那所有的努力和尽心 让人难忘的 是往往在视线之外的另一双眼睛 自始至终的温柔以对 倾心守护. 到头来啊 即使在最后女儿希望为妈妈做一点事的时候 妈妈依旧是女儿最最坚定的支持者 一如既往 一如数十年来无数日日夜夜里一样...
#11thBJIFF#最爱第三段故事，在这些阴差阳错的偶然中，你我究竟寻求些什么，是彼时的不甘，还是一个契机去面对最难以面对的自己？三段故事是滨口的文本实验，并且用推镜头“大法”向洪尚秀致敬。
太喜欢了，偶然生发故事，故事滋生情感，爱恨或是痛悔，时过境迁，波动和荡漾都只剩下余音袅袅。那么短小的体量，却能凝结一段时空，有点艾丽丝·门罗短篇小说的感觉呢。
第三个故事比前两个要好得多，不仅妙趣横生，还充满了令人感动的暖意。
9.2/10 #iksv 即便是短片集也依旧饱有后311的影子，第一段结尾的城市改建，第二段的一种身份自白（较隐性），第三段的地点设定（宫城仙台）和失联。步入此部的结构显然更容易，既是偶然，与想象，似乎有些太简单。想象既是角色的行为（身份的扮演），也是滨口邀请观众参与的观看方式（文字化的性爱）。偶然是一种结构的突变，正如舒曼Op.15的调性转折，伴随着第一段和第二段故事中行驶途中的偶然颠簸，成为了叙事的灵活呼吸。滨口只是滨口，绝非洪尚秀，更非黑泽清，不理解将几者并论有何根据。第一段>第二段≈第三段，滨口从不对画面中的“幕”（screen）做任何特定的功能，无论是使其成为自反工具亦或是额外的画幅分割，都并不如此，那些车窗，玻璃门，与倒影，都只是构建情景与情绪的温室，使人不断沉浸与沦陷。
太疯了but个人不太喜欢这种稍显过多的设置感。还是可以看出柏林和戛纳的选片品味之不同。
滨口龙介说，角色的表演（说谎或扮演另外一个人）并不是戴上一层面具，而是角色内心的一种表达，并折射了一种真实。#NYFF59
真的特别侯麦，这是一种怎样的感觉呢：轻快、平淡、真实的同时又虚幻。最后一篇最佳。
@BAFICI 看过后意犹未尽，每一个短片的对白和情绪都恰到好处。其中最爱《开着的门》，看着女主一本正经地念情/色小说，憋着笑瞎猜着接下来的情节，观影体验可以说很愉快了
是魔法吧。和不羁讨《欢乐时光》时我说是女性生活，他说是两性关系。在1和2里，好像看见了关系的张力橡皮筋被冷静又混乱的对话拉到最满。part3我反而不太行。
好喜欢第三个故事。即便是偶然的相遇也是注定的邂逅。就算记不起名字，也不代表已将你点滴忘记。虽然只是角色扮演，也能获得慰藉。你和她真像啊……
釜山电影节看的。三个小故事。最喜欢第一个，最不喜欢第三个。
二刷感受到了更多人物丰富性，细节的雕琢还有整个片子中，虽然基本均由对话撑起，一贯的高水平调度与剪辑保证的流畅。
去电影院迟到了。进去看了没一会儿就开始流眼泪，沈腾出来那段停了一会儿，到贾玲和年轻的她妈喝酒说心里话的那段又开始，再到字幕打出来“我记忆中妈妈一直是个中年妇女，我想她也曾是花季少女”，哭着走出影厅。本来以为是一厢情愿，后来告诉你是互相配合表演，这个妈看到女儿做这么多让自己开心，觉得这么选一切都值了，这辈子很幸福，作为观众我觉得圆满了，逻辑什么的就无所谓了。这些喜剧演员太勇敢了，把自己亲身经历讲给你，然后当着大家的面把心里话说出来。电影里那种工厂的氛围、劳动的氛围，时代浪潮化成无数细节遍布周遭，那时一切都是欣欣向荣，积极向上，无限可能，加上卡拉OK风格浓郁的配乐，我感觉这些东西是从小刻在我骨子里的，太熟悉。
