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.
②其实可以做成一部纯正的运动传记片，但是前期宣发感觉突出的是母爱，再加上里面讲到的政府对残疾运动员不够重视，以及残障人士的现实问题，就让整部电影比较杂。
"你天生残废没人会怪你，只会怪我。"
【北影节】4K摄影和杜比全景声的沉浸感太强 再深的洞也会见底 画家在测绘之后将整个洞用画笔封口是神来之笔
8.5 几乎抽离剧情、台词，辽阔而俯瞰的远景成为最重要的语言。人类文明的纸燃烧，下坠，在空冥的洞道里化为星火，熄灭。最震撼内心的是，再深的洞穴也终有尽头，而人的生命有共振，还有回响。
虽然有点困，杜比全景声有加成，处理的很诗意
格调悠扬，走神难免，好想知道洞里的场面是怎么拍出来的！
可惜我没有助听器，不然我也摘了，这配乐铺得我也快聋了。甚至还不如《一秒拳王》（香港 快 跑得 比 秒钟
3.5。的确，已经很多届残奥会都是中国队拿最多冠军了，但是运动员们基本上都不被人们知晓。打破多项世界纪录的香港运动员苏桦伟，也只是以这种方式才被我知道。电影意料之中的套路，励志，还有感动，从小孩第一次站起来时，就有女声背景音合唱，有种过于渲染的感觉。国语配音也拉低了很多观感上的舒适度。吴君如和不同年龄段的小孩都演得挺好的。
回归电影的爱之本源。契科夫之足球也是有趣的点缀。
不需要会任何语言就看得懂的电影，因为语言没有叙事作用，完全靠画面推动情节，并且节奏还波澜起伏。好看，声音真的很有层次感
#BIFF2021# 最后一场北影节电影，虽然因为（真正的）技术原因没有欣赏到预期的观影效果，但深达683米的大洞，尤其往下扔火的一幕，实属震撼。几乎没有台词，纯靠影像叙事。探索洞穴和老人的状态成对照关系。洞的终点，亦是老人生命的尽头。通篇晴朗的高原在结尾起了厚重的白雾。永远不要忘记敬畏自然，我们每一步探索，都会承受同等的代价。
从来都是我们需要妈妈胜过她需要我们，但爱是助力我们互相前行进步的。对嘛？
半梦半醒之间看的，喝了酒，整个人都在飘。放映厅里好冷，看到后半场，我好像就躺在某个洞里。有时候觉得看电影这件事是过去和当下的交融，它又会参与到你的未来。这里的当下不止是眼前的影像世界，也是你所处的外部世界给你带来的所有感官体验。
所以妈妈到底是为了残疾儿子，还是为了她自己？
其实全程就一个问题 到底怎么拍的啊啊啊？？？
7/10
-十几年来，你拿了好多好多的金牌，我跟我自己说，我儿子是个天才，我儿子是一个不普通的人，但是你跑完这一届，还能继续跑吗？很快就没有人记得谁是苏桦伟了。我跟你爸走以后，谁来照顾你？还不是要靠政府津贴？-我可以回去送快递。-那不是你朋友帮你吗？不然谁会请你啊？如果我是老板的话，我都愿意请个正常人。-就是你整天提醒我不是一个正常人，从小到大你做任何事都是因为我残废，你当初生小弟也是因为我残废，小时候你叫我跑步是因为残废，…… -阿伟你是个残废我知道很惨，但是我有个残废的儿子当妈的也很惨。从你出生的那天开始，所有的人都怪我，我带你去跑步，你老爸说为什么硬要带儿子去跑残障？你小时候走不了，我逼你走，街坊邻居指着我骂，“你儿子哭成那样了你还逼他，你还是不是人？” 阿伟，你残废是天生的，没有人会怪你，只会怪我。
中规中矩，没有过分煽情，也没有什么亮点，虽然小朋友哭了。当然，小朋友不哭的励志电影那真的肯定毫不励志了。
记录式镜头观感很好，也很让人犯困，以至于前半段我都在半梦半醒间。但一旦理解了蒙太奇连接的洞与老人，片子顿时变得有意思了。然而我理解的洞穴探索者是“自然不敬的闯入者”，被片尾说探洞是伟大创举的文字推翻了，我又蒙了
干枯斑驳的树皮与老人满是纹路的脸，巨大空旷的山谷与渺小的人群牛群，生命的流逝与洞穴的探索……要是没有隔壁的傻逼情侣，可能观影会更专注一点
