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.
北川景子这种整容脸 黑白片出来的时候真惊艳
看得让人纠结别扭。感谢电影之神还是降临，让故事没有无疾而终，也让我看到了其中最伟大的人物淑子。
步替爸爸念出感言的时候
但是除了男主别的都是纸片人。
小田oda→小津ozu，出水宏→清水宏？桂圆子→原节子，东京故事→东京物语（多么经典的榻榻米镜头和火车），有少数几个镜头得小津之形。最喜欢的梗是“Gary裤破”，但大多数时候并没能和全场观众一起笑出来……迷影梗多到甚至会让我觉得是一种对知识的利用和剥削。剧情整体上较为老套、煽情的目的非常明显手段非常陈旧。虽然不太喜欢，但作为电影节最后一场还挺合适的。好想要永野芽郁这样的女朋友！！！0930@英嘉，2021bjiff最后一场
永远对导演在电影中能大胆袒露自己的心迹感到着迷，无论那是脆弱还是不堪。
终于看到这部电影了！是个所有方面都浅尝辄止的电影 谈不上差 但是很难有激动人心的部分。以为有迷影情节 但与其说迷影不如说是追忆青春…以为会和开罗紫玫瑰一样 可是走进银幕这个动作也不过是一种梦幻的表现 电影之神的剧本从未被真正地拍出来 好遗憾。很喜欢昭和的场景 北川景子和咩酱真好看 昭和的故事很好看 但讲的也是平平无奇的故事 没有太惊艳的内容 甚至不知道打咩为什么在一起了 是什么给了咩义无反顾嫁给爱情的勇气。将军演才气逼人的小伙子的时候短暂回了个春 可是这戏份也不太像是主演 总感觉说台词的时候有些刻意 不过在洋次郎的棒读演技衬托下还是没那么差…男主角前后割裂太大了 晚年的戏份让我想到我家的故事 觉得他妻子实在太可怜了 是什么昭和悲剧女英雄啊
总算看到了这部庆祝松竹100周年的电影，所谓镜头与镜头之间有神明在，这就是电影之神！当银幕中的人走了下来，拉着回到银幕中，他的生命也就随之而去了，在看电影中死去，死在了电影面前，我想这也是山田洋次的心愿吧。
知道会是一些俗气的桥段，但还是忍不住泪目了。电影真好哇，比现实好。
沒看過日本影史，不看「東京物語」，不知小津安二郎為何物的人，怎能懂這部電影？只能說豆瓣裡的噴子實在是貽笑大方之極……
BIFF 2021#第五部，大概是我今年最爱日影？卡司太合胃口，苏打咩酱景子不必说，还有两位海女，戏份不多但被我认出的翅膀，电影整体轻松有趣又有泪点，最后以さよなら形式出现的志村桑名字在大屏滚动的时候明白了这部可能在我这可以再给五颗星。坚持拍摄并呈现出这样的作品的大家辛苦了。
再回头已是百年身。【你做会后悔、不做也会后悔，只能选一种方式后悔，人生就是这么回事。】
所以，当你热衷某件事并满心期望会在这件事中有所作为的时候，就要不顾一切拼了命地去冲啊！不论成功失败，至少死之前不会留有遗憾，至少你曾经很努力很努力地为之付出过。你看，阿乡就是不够拼，他选择了逃避，即便是在垂暮之年实现了也不是那么回事了。
时间流逝，多年后我们实现了年轻的梦想。
茨维格是个天才。不太明白最后一段精神病院的情节有何深意，似乎是画蛇添足。
看的时候脑袋里浮现得最多的一个词就是：普通(ふつう)。很俗套的日式鸡汤。笑点泪点都有，但真正破防的是最后片尾打出的さようなら志村けんさん。好像还是我看的第一部与新冠挂上关系的电影吧，不仅给个人，还想给电影行业打一剂鸡血。#BJIFF
最感动的是，即使过了这么多年，他们依然互相陪伴互相扶持。电影最初的本质就是一群人团结地做着他们共同热爱的一件事，十分纯粹。多年过后，这种力量依然没有消失。但是淑子隐忍这么多年，甚至懦弱纵容，所做出的反抗也仅仅是几句抱怨，这个被导演刻意轻飘飘带过的情节实在让人难以接受。最后，咩酱真的可爱死了！！
爱过。救我妈。保大。没钱。明天有事。不约。
7.0分，像山田洋次对平行世界中另一个自己的半自传。
3.5，氛围的营造很成功，男主角演技非常精彩，撑起了整个故事，不然的话人物内心深度挖掘不够的缺点会更凸显。趁着场面混乱从推车上捞起一本书藏进衣服的场景令人震撼：精神生活的丧失是比褫夺人身自由更大的剥夺。
