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.
只是稍微想起一些，但却是每一位爱过的人都可以代入的另一些，私藏的线路，想去的星星，不想和人分享的蛋糕
一种说不出的感觉，看着其实还可以啦，如果情感表达的更为突出，或许这个片会有更高的评分。

看后思绪万千，身边却没有人可以分享，捂在心里，越发酵后劲越大。

当然，必须插一句，心目中目前观感最好的倒叙故事，还得是岸西的『亲密』。
看到一半才看明白
其實更像是《十二夜》的變奏，但這兩位的戀愛週期拉長了好多。
前面太闷了，直到意识到这是一年一年的退后，才觉得有趣。喜欢三十岁那年的所有浪漫，那一句“明年今天就跟你求婚”是玩笑话吗？还有第一次认识那天一起喝的啤酒和跳舞的街道，爱情的最初。
倒叙恋爱过程。恋爱的过程就像追逐梦想，放弃也就结束了
不要和这样性格（指回避型依恋表现）的男生谈恋爱，你知道我在说什么。
最终回归现实~从苦到甜没那么难过 节奏慢了点 7.2/10
韩国媒体在东亚四强赛中韩比赛后，对国足的评论是：“大学生水平”。那么，即使是热爱中国电影的日本观众，在看过大多数国产爱情片后，会不会说：“中小学生水平”。因为他们毕竟是经常看松居大悟、土井裕泰的。日本编剧、导演的一项突出能力便是归纳、提炼、再现，特别是那些错过的与遗落的，这对爱情片特别重要。电影中的人物，不需对自己的羞怯、不足、欲望而感到抱歉，不必变得外向、粗鲁、能说会道才能获得所谓成功，不在生活中寻求标准答案。这应该是一个正常社会应有的样子。
我所剩下的只有去阳台上，等待夏天26日的太阳缓慢升起的，一根烟的时间。
一段感情不知何时开始，却记得何时结束。从慢慢的喜欢，到果断的决绝。分手后我会回忆我们在一起的日子，但渐渐的我只能想起一些。
3/7/2022 9:50pm bc / 敗筆是找她當女角。。她像肥師奶啊
电影结束后的舞台挨拶，超乎想象的松散没节奏w两人谈了各自喜欢的《地球之夜》里的片段，聊了沙莉（她真可爱！）出演的CreepHyp的那支mv里最后的搞笑片段ww以及原来片名是池松氏想出来的，导演一开始拟定的名字又土有中二（我记不起来了）。
会心一笑:-D
'想起'所描绘的风格最为简单纯粹，看完后伤痛程度最小。遗憾固然有，但是最后却能让人褪去执念，舒适呼吸，所以拍得最好。
在一天中经历花束般的爱情赏味期。溯洄而上，遍历过往，一件物品一个场所一个习惯一位过客，都有记忆的辙痕。无意而起又无疾而终，也许才是现代爱情的常态。很像是「看」完了一整张MLA的专辑。很不像话的是，这居然是松居大悟的作品！ P.S 池松壮亮撩起头发跳舞那里，我以为看到了滨田岳……
