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.
生命因奇遇而滚动
i'll find someone when i say i want to go to wyoming, he won't ask what's in wyoming? because there's nothing in wyoming, and nothing is still a thing "see you down the road" 想去midwest想去midwest想去midwest 😭
人和大自然有种天然的亲近，这种亲近大过人和城市，在没有城市以前，人住洞穴、草房、石屋的时间总和远大于城市（我编的）
很喜欢这部电影的气质，广角镜头将人搁置在广袤的西部平原上，给人以无限的苍凉渺小感，而手持摄影以及碎片化的生活叙事赋予了影片别样的纪实性，女主为了逃离家人，选择与爱人踏上征途，又为了爱人定居，最终又是因为爱人（的离逝）再次踏上旅途，变得是地点，不变的是那颗心，只要在路上，就一定会重逢
“You leave a big hole by leaving.” “That one is on me.” searchlight上面没有20世纪真不习惯。威尼斯获奖影片也终于有中国人拍米国鸟不拉屎的地方和苦痛挣扎的底层人民了（我这扭曲的心理..）基特里奇之后，科恩嫂再次塑造这样顽强倔强孤独的女性：不得不告别的无家可归的黑狗，小溪里岩石间雀跃的自己，像大神却也有痛的张不开口的伤痕的RV Community组织者，朋友传来的视频里那个让她觉得一辈子没白活的燕子窝群。坐在Dave家客厅设想自己在这里生活下去的背影，最后还是决定离开。她开去海边，悬崖风暴里飞翔的鸟，她脸上带着笑。无论是Dave还是储物空间里过去的家具，那些都代表着family life in house, 她最后一个都没选
最终女主角还是喜欢在路上，享受孤独，但又不是完整的孤独，她会与人交流，还沟通得很好，并不十分内向。整部片子很像小众独立制片的不知名素人演的，怪不得费兰西斯可以三封，完全洗尽铅华的feel，而梅丽尔还在执着在抓马的《洗衣店》《不要抬头》《让他们说》《毕业舞会》里，虽然演的很好，但是缺乏新鲜感。
有点失望，要不是女主的演技，实在无法忍受废柴般的镜头。
比起他们
悲歌唱成赞歌，凄丽柔美纪录，既然决定上路，就只顾风雨兼程吧，我们路上见！
生活的写实如达内兄弟，表达诗意的时候像马力克，稀松平常的记述仿佛看到《昨日欢愉》的影子……这部电影的影像风格在其他电影里都见过，没有特别之处，导演好像只是把他们恰到好处地融合了起来，看不出痕迹，像水一样。
“在路上”此前是凯鲁亚克式的，是年轻的，酷的，nomadland完成了一次祛魅，直面了公路电影主人公如何拉屎撒尿的现实问题，但拍得还是很美，每一个片段单看都像纪录片，整体又是电影的，大年初一看对我构成了新的意义
剧场版观影顺序：
「I’ll see you down the road.」大概是一個心有所屬的人吧，也就對於這樣一個心無歸屬的故事比較無感了。攝影、音樂、演員都表現的很好，尤其是攝影，但文本及敘事步調還是比較難對上頻率，對我來說是一部沒有錯的電影，但也就僅此而已。
“寄蜉蝣于天地，渺沧海之一粟。哀吾生之须臾，羡长江之无穷。挟飞仙以遨游，抱明月而长终。知不可乎骤得，托遗响于悲风。”

希望片中人不要說話。
无依，可以是无以依靠，也可以是无需依靠，希望大家都能找到适合自己的依靠方式。
像纪录片一般，跟随着科恩嫂试着去理解这些现代游牧民族。不要试图用理性去解构他们的动机，选择游牧本身就充满了浪漫。大自然和同胞的友情是对伤痛最好的治愈。
Fern驶过寂寥无依的大地，白雪覆盖的公路；注视过汹涌澎湃的大海，炽热的福玻斯神光。你以为她是自由潇洒才总在路上，但失去所爱的她悲不自胜，茕茕孑立。这片孤独的大地啊，有着一样孤独的人群和孤独的灯；孤独的房车里，困扰着成百上千孤独的灵魂。
赵婷身兼数职的确保证了个人表达的一致性，但也因此而失去了更好的可能，至少在剪辑方面是有一些可以改善的地方的。
