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.
2022年5月5日，GV Suntec。 音乐好听，剧情不太投入，我还是很困😭 现在工作日不适合看电影
小格局的文艺片，聚焦的是女权和母性之间微妙又错综复杂的摇摆。透过本身就有巨大文学性的女主角来呈现，则显得迷离又令人窒息。权重过于偏向表演，但也是女性编剧和导演独到的细腻之处。喜剧演员出身的科尔曼的正剧表演功力令人动容。
每一场戏单拿出来都很抓人，两条时间线穿插的剪辑不动声色而精准，配乐真的太会了，尤其是这高能的主题曲。情节的走向无迹可寻，而且几乎每次都不按常理出牌。暗流涌动的海边诡异假日全程扣人心弦，先前始终想不通一系列遭遇跟回忆中为母危机的关联性，直到最后海边醒来边给女儿打电话突然拿出个橘子开剥，之前的荒诞感一下子fall into place。两位年轻女演员表现都可圈可点，但重要的是Olivia Coleman绝对值得二度封后。导演Maggie女士太厉害了，以及我真想看看原著小说。
叒一部恐婚恐育教育片，不同时空的母亲，相似的艰辛，全程焦虑不安，纯心理情绪推动，细腻而震撼。编导摄影主演全女性班底，非常优秀！
回忆与现实交叠的叙事手法让人感到些许凌乱，故事整体能够看明白，女主在度假时透过旁人回望自己初为人母时的经历，以及面临的种种烦心之事，最终令她选择了逃离。电影中展现的母亲不同于人们认知中母亲应有的样子，突出展示了孩子顽皮、蛮横的一面，也确实值得引发一些思考，母亲是否一定要大公无私，毫无保留。抛去这一点外，电影的缺陷也难以忽视，或许是新人导演对全片把控的问题，观影质量并不算上佳，一度让人觉得吃力。科尔曼等女演员的演技倒是为电影增添了些许看点。
这个阶段的年轻人最危险，没有经验也不知道天高地厚，往往会惹出大乱子。
现在看来有点粗糙了，写实感非常强。贡献了一张太出色的音乐作品辑，以至于我觉得伍佰的歌要好过电影。还有罗大佑和林强的特别出演。
然后同期的港产黑帮片真的秒杀台语片
在奥斯卡颁奖之前看完，但我有强烈预感这个电影一定会获奖！理由如下： 1.女导演兼处女作 也许这类型电影看多了，在我还未知道它是处女作品情况下，就已经能深刻感到电影镜头语言细节处理不够成熟的熟悉感（在其他处女座也存在这种问题！） 另外，值得一提的是女导演，从2016年来，我就有幸看了不少新生代女导演的佳作，实在令人感到开心，希望我能看到更多越来越好的女导演和她们的作品。 2.颠覆传统！ 电影主角是一个为了追求自己学术的从而抛下自己年幼的女儿们的母亲，这在以前的电影里，这的确很少见，看多了男性为了事业忽略家庭的故事，这个看起来不那么“尊重”传统母性道德的故事出现在电影里就显得极为可贵！ 电影以一种看似漠然而又尖锐地指出了传统社会对母亲这一角色的道德绑架——母亲再也不是那个永远被家庭束缚的人了。
我猜韓寒應該是沒看過這片，否則也不會直到看了《賽德克‧巴萊》才對台灣電影改觀。
靠演员抬出了原作里subtle的东西 处女作加一星
同為埃倫娜費蘭特的原著改編，故事在某程度上正好與第三季《我的天才女友》裡的情節和處境構成了呼應，也可以當做是費蘭特筆下一以貫之的、毫無矯飾的、願意暴露剖析負面/陰暗面的真實女性形象在大熒幕上的呈現。Maagie Gyllenhaal將細膩的心理情緒和張力處理得很好，Olivia Colman更是獻上了無與倫比的精彩表演（ Jessie Buckley也不錯）。
压轴上线，2021最后一部，果然埃琳娜费兰特，妮娜≈莉拉，玛吉吉伦哈尔导演手法可，我真太喜欢杰西巴克利了
本片由侯孝賢監製，是一部講述邊緣青少年浪擲青春的電影。編導基本沿襲了侯孝賢的風格拍攝本片，所以本片在藝術創意上缺乏突破，但本片對於台灣中下層的社會生態有著生動逼真的呈現，在光影氣氛上也拍出一種沉重的壓抑感，高捷以本片的黑道分子形象開始為人熟悉，從此成為台灣黑幫片的代言人之一。
3.6分。 看电影之前不知道埃莱娜·费兰特参与了编剧，所以总感觉有种熟悉的故事结构和人物色彩。在知道这是《我的天才女友》的作者写的故事之后，很多不太明白的点基本都能迎刃而解。 片子虽然讲述了一个中年女性的假期旅行，但并不是一个常规的故事，这里面有摸不准的危险和恐惧，也有命运相似的年轻母亲，还有各种或亢奋浪荡，或颓唐温良的男性角色。这些捉摸不定的情绪，在女主角对女儿的思念和愧疚，厌恶和爱恋之间来回荡漾，共同交织一位母亲的复杂面相。
5/5 @ Golden Village Suntec City
完完全全反面的《平行母亲》，现在-过去的两条线明明可以紧密缝在一起却装神弄鬼破碎化剪辑，而前者母亲-历史两条线生硬无法融合却硬要移花接木。老导演在回归母亲的职责，细腻用历史的代价刻画了，两个无私，善良的母亲，后者硬刻画一个自私，失职，自我，欲度假逃离却处处原形毕露的母亲。配乐从头到尾，情绪从头推到尾，两部同样放在威尼斯，就可知道现在的评委喜欢什么口味了，玩偶，虫子，一大堆指代性的东西，如果没有原作的底子和科尔曼的表演可以挥霍，我都不知道这是一个什么样的破碎故事。
他们青春年少，但是他们却早已经历了种种变迁。这种变迁也许正是通过他们的视点来展现的，才会显得那个时代，那个社会显得更加的动荡。
与《艋舺》比起来，该片要接地气得多。香港有个徐小明，台湾也有一个，一个擅长动作片，一个专情青春片，一个成了影视大亨，一个转而当了制片。
现在看来有点粗糙了，写实感非常强。贡献了一张太出色的音乐作品辑，以至于我觉得伍佰的歌要好过电影。还有罗大佑和林强的特别出演。
