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.
Apple+自家的影视和苹果的工业产品一样执着于硬朗的流线设计，没记错的话，《芬奇》也是这样小规模，少演员的搭配组合。苹果本身就是接近于科幻的一家企业，类似近未来的题材可以说是得心应手。我们的科技越是发展，越是接近伦理的边缘。我们仍可能忘记在还能掌控的岁月里将时光与家人分享
佳作，可以说同时科普了记忆的主观性和中世纪的社会观念，三次视角下的交叉和分岔都有意味，前者如亲吻、掉鞋、互望，后者如女主视角中的闺蜜和婆婆线，为三人局真相丰富了社会维度，女性财产、little death、强奸不会怀孕之类都可回到封建制下的继承焦虑，最后冷日下的血腥决斗，在视觉上夯实了“荣耀之残酷”主题，三条线也可看成人性的三个侧面，最终汇聚在name这个点，就好像用肉身的易朽，向树上、广场上的the many表演why the few，斯科特和范霍文都借由欧洲中世纪的题材，拍了具有时代意识的片，至少让人看到，很多被认为先锋的事迹，早已有之。
40岁的阿明拿魔改竹林中拼命讲道理。雷老头一大把年纪却玩弄细节搞这种小幽默实属文人和宅宅的区别。
7.5分。论拍古装片，Ridley Scott绝对是大拿中的大拿。这么个简单的案子竟然被他拍出了史诗感？？三人的罗生门设计很不错，蛮横又粗俗无礼的无能丈夫，自恋又拔吊无情的花花公子，同一段历史两个人讲出了不同的故事，一个看另一个狼心狗肺，一个看另一个不识好歹，从好友变成陌路，从陌路又成为了仇敌。直到此时整个电影都很精彩，但为什么最后还要来个所谓妻子说的“真相”呢？正是这所谓的真相，让电影泄了气，又变成了个弱女子控诉世道不公的电影，让最后所谓的决斗变得有点滑稽了。其实完全可以设计成真正的罗生门嘛，花花公子的部分可以拍成通J不就成了~~不过单纯以动作场面而论，最后的大战还是非常精彩的。中世纪电影耗资巨大却票房潜力有限，本片无论服道演都趋于完美，票房却如此惨烈，后继可能不会再有人投资了哎。。。。
这部影片从一个特殊的角度，以极简的方式探讨了生命与死亡、何以为人，以及最重要的，什么是爱。
首先并不是罗生门，试着理解老雷的拍摄意图，在三段细节差异极小的叙述中找到关系的真实、全面微妙之处，但呈现出来的效果确实并不尽如人意，大量的重复很拖沓、仅靠对白和情景还原有很力弱。
讲真，不要被烂片名和低豆瓣评分而蒙蔽双眼，用你的眼光去看它，再去评价它，它是一部好电影，是的，关于人生、生命的思考！
第三段女主视角时我一度以为男主母亲是故意制造了女主独自在家的条件。。。
八旬的雷老爷真是稳，视听语言很流畅，最后的决斗戏冲击力十足，真实又惨烈，可能是今年最硬核的动作场面之一了。在这场强奸案中，施暴者、女方丈夫、婆婆、闺蜜、审判人，共同搭建了一出男权社会的群像，唯独缺席的，只有她，这个婚姻筹码、生育工具和施暴对象，甚至根本没有人问过一句，她还好吗。朱迪科默贡献高光演出，表情的变化精准传达出导演的意图。另外不得不说，本老师这贱兮兮的小黄毛造型还很适合这部电影……
It's hard to be left behind
坚韧 理智
英雄气质和史诗向来由男性写就，道德同样也是。但这个电影说，最勇敢的或许不是可以选择“为荣誉而战”的人，而是几乎没有选择权、却能够在逼近的死亡面前站稳脚跟的人。
达蒙的角色写得比想象中精彩，很多主事件外的隐喻（比如育马一段）还可以。三段式即有统一事件的不同角度，也有信息互相补充。可是大概电影的不完美也在这部分上，即使是pov模式，过于跳跃的细节导致电影前半段并不太引人入胜。而且我也说不清，不知道是一些细节还是主演的原因，这电影的年代感并不强烈。整部电影里的人都在夸司机如何潇洒帅气，我笑到爆炸。
Apple TV+一贯路线，科幻外壳包裹的家庭温软核心。未来世界UI设计和家装风格保持Apple产品概念高度一致的平行质感，干净冷寂，为探讨弥留之际生死哲思的镜像对话构造透彻空明的氛围舞台。类似的以克隆人延续不治之症病躯身份的伦理辩题早在Klara and the Sun等很多文艺作品加以探讨，但本片无意挖掘更深向度的思考，始终紧扣天鹅之死悲鸣绝叫的题眼，细腻温馨的走马灯如脉脉流水贯通复制双生的对视之间。一块巧克力的尴尬邂逅和啤酒就毛豆的父子告别尤其动人。归根到底，仍然是一部小品文，Mahershala Ali优秀的演技使这个毫无新意的过时故事增添了许多可看性。Dumb Witness再现，备份重生绝对不是万无一失的白色谎言，我们只能止步于Cameron无憾又悲恸的那一行泪，被爱的配方满足。
只是希望，因为快绝望
以为是大女主的戏，结果是几个男的在那撕。如果男人看此片，大概看到更多的是阶级之争吧。“她老公文盲，她和你在一起的话，你们可以一起读书。”于是，他爱她爱到强奸她。利益熏心的男人的爱就是这么廉价，于是男人的友情前传崩塌的也理所当然。如果他强奸你，你是不会愉悦的，如果你怀孕了，说明你愉悦了，说明这不是一场强奸。看吧，男权逻辑随时随地都能强奸你。此片唯一出彩的是，女主终于看透男人这狗东西了
前两段叙事效率不佳，第三段碰瓷罗生门没道理，归根到底我很怀疑这个题材选择对宗教权力的强化能否真正帮助两性在性议题上的松绑。
列车，湖边画画很美好
还说poor old millennials是怎么得罪雷导了，看完确实觉得气场不合。罗生门结构就大可不必，明明已经站队了，不然可以想象《狩猎》那样充满猜疑 神经紧绷的效果；命题作文让角色脸谱化；还有大部分观众真是厌倦了liberal woke culture...光是看剧情简介就不想买票进影院。
