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.
暴露了社会派推理的短板，推理部分过于幼稚，导演在社会问题层面又拍得格局很小。两边都不成功。
挺好人的，讨论了很多人生的问题，适合思考，不适合娱乐。
再看一部日式愚蠢
伤疤上的故事，白夜行般的迷局，包裹着社会问题。很日式的叙事，中二又真诚
社会救助怎么照顾个人的尊严？再潦倒的人也需要，尊严。哭死我了。越是这样沉默缓慢的讲这样的故事，看完越是悲痛。
这终于是一部，烂的跟主演一点关系都没有的电影了
原以为翻拍自本杰明奇事一样的奇幻电影，却是完全不一样的故事，但很相似的地方是影片的质感都非常棒，感情温婉如玉，叙事细水长流。开篇如散文诗般的娓娓道来，中篇的年代爱情故事轻松且颇具趣味性，结尾却让人笑中带泪，饱含着对生命轮回的思考。这次王传君挑大梁又一次淋漓的展现了做为演员的沉淀和积累，感情的转变和小细节等都拿捏到位，证明了药神的惊艳感绝不是昙花一现，这样国内少有的题材绝对值的细细回味。
给这个评价的时候自己其实很纠结。一方面，他有着类似《芳华》和《无论西东》的文学气息与时代印记，视听表达上算是上佳，片中也有不少地方对文化环境和时代的自嘲很是打动我，且作为电影题材，它在现在的国产片里是非常特别的。但另一方面，作为一部电影确实又是漏洞多的千疮百孔，略不成熟的文艺表达手法，诸多不清晰的人物行为，太过杂乱的主题糅合，过于庞大的叙事内容压缩，以及最重要的，似乎没有表达清楚主题。这杂乱的剧本注定会是个两级分化的电影，却又确实是现在的王传君会去演的电影，我不敢说这是个好电影，只能说这是个我偏好的电影，本可以成为《本杰明巴顿奇事》的电影。
差不多看到一半的时候预感到设定可能会与“白夜行”类似（没有血缘关系的男女基于年幼时的羁绊携手作案，以及女方作案男方背锅这一点），不过霓虹这种不搞“定体问”而爱搞死具体负责人的思路还真是与我国不同，或者说还停留在上世纪初暗杀盛行的革命年代？
3.5。女主全片最佳，几个不同阶段均发挥出色。头一个死者也不算是个坏人吧，为啥经常皮笑肉不笑搞得像个该死的坏人，这样或多或少影响了影片想要表达的深度。
我们每天都在遗忘，每天都在和过去的记忆告别，可即便我们会忘记一切，最后留下的那段记忆，也一定是曾经最美好的时光。
旁白多的我想砸屏幕，剧情扯的我想杀编剧，常识性错误多到我想去给他们上上历史课。
总觉得有点浪费这个干细胞概念 有点使不上劲
导演无论怎么瞎说
感觉像看了好几部电影，一会喜剧，一会文艺，一会年代，一会科幻，一会现实主义，一会人文主义。宇宙观太大了吧
In the Wake 2021 1080p BluRay x264 DTS
既想讲地震，又想讲社会问题，又想拍推理，结果就是每个方面都不够深入，表现一般。好在阵容不错，清原果耶妹妹在这部里演技也不拉胯。
11年前，我才回国不久，还是一个自以为是的人，以愤青为面具，以国仇为借口，用冷漠和略带不屑的眼光打量着311大地震和后续的福岛核泄露。今天，我自己在上海，也亲历着一场人为的小灾难，才对当年的无辜的人有了一点点感同身受。不敢说今天的我已经不再自以为是，但起码已经了解，自己是浅薄的。
很喜欢这部电影，很小说化。但好多地方都能戳中心里。这个故事我也写过，没写完，也是我想表达的内容。真好啊。
感觉融入了好多电影的元素，男女主演技都蛮不错的。丁萌萌太太太可惜了吧，即使打了年轻药之后的郭小鲁好像也没有年轻到哪儿去啊...两个多小时着实有点太长了，中间一度差点看睡过去
