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.
反工业的任性气息非常招人喜欢。在微博上看到有人看完电影在柏林遇到洪尚秀与金敏喜，和导演交谈之后问可否与金敏喜合影，导演说“go ask her.”啊，我忽然意识到，即使是金敏喜这样美丽性感才华洋溢的女演员，也是如此艰难才会遇到让她感知爱情的人。
洪现在真的有种铅华落尽的意思了，片子里的几个知识分子几乎都是他自身各个时期自我的投射，而聊到的关于那部电影，关于杜撰下的真实，则用来揭露整个片子要表达的：我给你们看了很多个我，我一直在自省一直在矛盾，但很多事我已经放下了，我现在就知道一件事，我爱金敏喜。
像一本私人生活日记，寻常日子里的人与事物，在艺术家的眼中，都变成了可以言说的东西。这种意味很美，有些零碎，但很美，就像出门时，看到小区门口的树照耀在阳光中，满眼的绿色，门卫大爷坐在绿荫下、坐在风中，检查着过往人们的出入证和身份验证信息，这一幕也很美，是独独属于这一时期的时光雕刻。李慧英和金敏喜的演绎很有味道，小说家的一举一动都在克制和直抒胸臆之间，而女演员呢，她简直是一个精灵，黑白影像中，她举着野花，笑着往前走，那一幕，云朵都跟着她歌唱吧！
"每个人都想用自己的方式过自己的生活，不要浪费我们自己的生命就好了。"
敏后真的好美啊，做梦都会梦到的那种。
望远镜的传递是标志性的，视角的剥落和重塑同时发生，不过既然把老导演、老诗人这些“魂器”屏退之后，为什么又设置一个“不在场的在场”式的丈夫，导演在视角上花费的心思有种非要穿着玩偶服的“羞涩”。但无论如何，我对最后一段真的毫无办法，洪片里第一次出现手持录像、贴近人物的这种亲密自然和富于温暖感的影像质料，似乎羞涩终究走向坦然而不设防，不免让人想起《引见》获奖时，洪常秀发来的蜗牛小视频，背景音是金敏喜哼唱的que sera sera。
"每个人都想用自己的方式过自己的生活，不要浪费我们自己的生命就好了。"
能说会道自尊心还挺重的小说家给金敏喜夫妇策划的狗粮vlog 演员和摄影全由夫妇俩自带
固定变焦中景镜语不变，精致的文本互文性不改，流变的是他们俩投射出的爱意更深了，连烈人的烧酒都变成宜人的马格利米酒了。
洪片的一体两面。一方面托李俊英之口说出，在于不同关系的自然流动，电影不需要冗余的话语或情节，而通过镜头下人物所处的情境，身体姿态弥散而出。正是如此，一句魅力从不同人之口说出，有着相反的效应。另一方面，他又知道如何在日常之中制造超越性的时刻。或明显或刻意，但他会从日常中撕开裂缝，去注视手语的无声时刻，从望远镜注视窗外，让小女孩停在窗前，将镜头变味彩色。电影就在真实与虚构之间反复横跳实现自己。六月开头两天，连看东亚流出的两部不同地区电影，一部无力而愤怒，一部自由而轻盈，真是悲哀又魔幻。
我好像看懂了，又好像没有。但可以肯定的是我不喜欢。
最后的vlog加一星，从29:40金敏喜首登场，到76:17醉酒断片，正好是47分钟的小说家的电影。另外你们文青洋洋洒洒写一大段，却都没人注意到片头破天荒出现了NEW公司的logo，老洪能在这个境况得到大厂支持绝对是雪中送炭。PS：华策有持股NEW，可以期待一波引进甚至内地公映。
—我们可以用彩色拍
简单巧妙、轻盈舒服。无论再怎么做减法，对白依然是洪常秀最有魔力的部分，而他对「电影」本身越来越淡然，反而越来越让人喜欢。
我怎么觉得洪尚秀最近几部片子从狠狠挤兑男的也开始挤兑女的了呢？
3.5。1.写给金敏喜的情书，影片中未出现的丈夫、女小说家，都可以理解成创作者本身，金敏喜成为洪常秀的缪斯，简直是疏解了自2010s以来洪常秀的创作困境。2.独自在电影院里看一部有关自己的短片，银幕上满是笑容、阳光，以及召之即来的色彩，这怕也是表演者的一种期待。3.洪常秀电影虽然一直以来谈谈情、喝喝酒、做做爱，但每一部诉求都不尽相同，每一部都有创作者的巧思，模糊戏里戏外的真实，窗外的凝视着的小女孩等等。
又又又又是一套制式化的电影。尽管尝试了更长的镜头去拍一些表演痕迹不重但设定刻意的场景，但完全tricky地依赖熟悉演员带来的效益。不禁想问，抛去这些熟悉的身份设定，情景设定和演员，洪还能拍出什么。止步不前，仅满足于喂满洪孝子的欲望。
洪尚秀的电影越看越美妙，洪绝对是当今最富有精力和创造力的导演了，这一年一个本子的创作精力属实太牛了。本片又是一个完完全全的洪尚秀电影风格，那为什么我们还没看腻呢？因为即使手法相似，每一次的人物关系、对方内容都是不同的，加上洪在电影里关于现实自我的影射和作者的二重性叠加，电影的韵味更加曼妙。一次拜访开始画了一个圈，把所有人归纳在一起，女作家和女演员之间亲密、疏远的情感关系而诞生一部电影，最后的彩色片段真的是爱意满满。这部电影里洪尚秀写人物关系的功力太厉害，偶遇的导演、书店的故人、喝酒的诗人每一次偶遇都很精彩。从起初对洪电影的无感，觉得简单、无聊到如今着迷、享受，愈发期待每年一次的洪尚秀小品了。
他们的对话效率很低，做事却很高效。镜头内流动着徐缓，镜头外充斥着爱意。
我真的get不到洪常秀，只有自由之丘让我有一瞬短暂的震撼
