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.

花束般的恋爱语录&独白
在电影院看的，最喜欢餐厅的那场戏，两方都决心分手，最后一刻男主反悔的挽留，不如结婚吧，成为绝大多数的夫妇，成为爸爸和妈妈，没有爱情也没关系，我们可以成为亲人。可是撞进来的小情侣和曾经的他们这么相似，我知道我们相爱时的模样，所以才无法忍受现在的难堪。
四星
形式大于内容。the Great Beyond和the Great Before的视觉效果很新奇，是这个片子一大亮点，但仅止于此。各种转折与觉悟来得太容易，秋叶翩翩落于手中的一刻明澈很难让被生活花式锤过的成年人就此甘于共鸣「活着真好啊」。何况拿着通行证飞向蓝色星球，也得看生在哪儿。可看，但不触动。
你的逻辑在他那里无障碍通行，他的想法在你这里找到了翻版。可惜，和“世界上另一个我”谈恋爱，存活率依然为零。一切开始，都是为了结束的开始。SMAP 会解散，恋爱会分手，你爱的那个人会变成曾经你们都最讨厌的人，真空里的花束，一旦被所谓“责任”“生计”“社会性”之类的东西刺破了气泡，只会迅速枯萎。大概因为，恋爱本就是诞生和存活在滤镜之下的东西。人们总以为不幸的婚姻是和一个不爱的人在一起将就。实际上，好多婚姻是彼此相爱的人在一起将就，是恋爱的垂死挣扎，是共同凭吊一座遗址。苏打村花十分可爱，故事有几个笑点但并无看头。
2020.12.25｜南京德基广场｜太爱了！广褒宇宙的质感，几何线条构成的“人物”（也许该叫“灵魂”），写实的纽约街景特别是Garner在布鲁克林的家的阳台画面，脑洞大开的故事线，充满哲理的对话，构成了一部给成年人看的童话。对冲基金经理梗超好笑！哈哈哈哈哈哈～里面极具思辨意义的一段说到，当人进入心流状态时，是enjoyable的，but when that joy becomes an obsession, it gets disconnected from life..在一路探讨完人生的火花是什么，人生的意义何在之后，电影最后回归质朴，只是说：活在当下吧！浓浓一碗鸡汤，不腻，真香！
坂元想说的大概不是豆瓣友邻的恋爱不行，而是所有的恋爱就是花束般总会凋谢，就算你俩是豆瓣友邻也不行(以及即便如此，恋爱还是像花儿一样
2022.02.25 谢谢，在电影院哭得很享受。果然重复就是最高级的艺术，饭馆、地铁、红灯，再次出现却物是人非，不禁让人感慨时间流逝之快。社会异化人类程度之深也值得被关注。
虽然也没有好看到满分爆灯的程度，但是已经足以拯救无聊的2021世界电影市场了。你没办法定义这是一部约会电影还是一部分手电影，该和谁去看。
他们一直在畅聊相似的兴趣爱好时，我就隐隐觉得怪怪的：他们是真的有相似的灵魂，还是仅仅因为这个世界只为人们提供相似的消遣而使他们变得相似。看完后回想了一下，发现他们除了兴趣相同，其实并没有特别深刻的思想交流。书影音的品味倾向掩盖了其消费消遣的一面，容易让浮于表面的文艺青年产生误会，这也可能是后来他们人生观产生重大分歧的原因。总的来说很喜欢这部电影，启发我挺多：爱情中的独立，以及在资本主义社会里，你以为只有工作使人异化吗？手中的书影音游戏何尝不将我们塑造并划分成不同又相同的消费者。最后餐厅遇见的有着和他们一模一样的对话的小情侣正说明了这一点，人们所思所想所说所喜欢的，都像复制粘贴。
年轻的时候，喜欢把很多微小的细节当作心意相通的写照，也是大概为何很多校园情侣最终没能在一起的原因。现在想来，两个看起来完全一样的人可能在初识的日子里已经抵达了恋爱顶峰，此后的每一天他们都在发现另一半与自己的不同。而互补的两人，相处后的每一天可能都会惊喜发现他和我变得越来越相同。不过本来想爆哭的结果流不出眼泪，我焦虑的问题已经跨过这阶段了哈哈哈
很多细节很戳人，“我的人生目标，就是和你维持现状”，听起来非常简单，但花束的保鲜期短暂。豆友们一朝成为社畜，再多的书影音共同爱好也抵挡不了996和琐碎的柴米油盐。可是，遇到了这么合拍的人，怎么可能舍得分开呢？
实现梦想很幸福啊，但是做一条没有梦想的咸鱼也很快乐。很符合我曾经给自己的个签→普普通通，平平淡淡，就那么过完自己的一生。可是我一直没做到啊。
坂元和李炳宪已经算是最会写日常系爱情故事的东亚男编剧了，但都是因为太喜欢写机敏的对话，回回都感觉像在看一个人和分裂出的自己恋爱，这部片尤其如此。不过别的（男）编剧往往会写“女孩的成长步调总是快于男孩”，坂元就还是会写男孩先选择了成为大人，坂元式女主身上最突出的就是那点天真气啊。
剧作的中心当然不是恋爱的热情，而是关于爱好的热情。他们刚坠入恋河、开始分享耳机这个情节，就已经揭示着他们的锋锐开始被磨平，闪耀的恋爱反成了变成普通人的第一步。坂元通过堆积（新海诚式的）心像台词“对唱”，顺利地在内面的默契中捕捉到了“庸俗恋爱故事却并非通过恋爱的热情去讲述”这种稍微的错位。然而，剧作太精致，精致到害怕观众不信任电影的影像也能讲这样的故事——前提是导演不被编剧牵着鼻子走。
这种“合拍”其实有一种虚假性，每一对情侣在最初或许会因为相似性而走到一起，但是在此之后的交往过程中，情侣会寻找这种相似性，放大相似性，排斥相异性。这在影片后来，小娟问小麦有没有做过摩天轮可知，无论多么投合的情侣也会有不一样的地方。影片的现实基调其实很真实，只是在影片前半部分的浪漫被放大了。问题还在于，同一个年龄又没有经济压力的青年，相似性会很多。喜欢相同的电影，相同的书，相同的作者，相同的游戏等等。但是这种相异性在一开始其实就有展示，那就是小娟看小麦所拍电影时睡着了。还有就是理想主义遇见理想主义会很容易结合，而任何东西与现实相撞，都会被撞碎。爱情，理想，莫不如是。电影也用了许多镜像来呈现和回环复沓。开始，也是结束的开始。木心说：“既然两个人好得像一个人，那就一个人好了。”
