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.
私人情感也好，人和人之間尷尬的對話也好，因為太過接近於生活而令我窒息（褒），很難得的觀影感受。早知道就開字幕看了，韓語日常對話所使用的語法和詞彙在某種程度上實在是貧瘠得很，還會聽到好幾位演員的口癖，更窒息了。。
想起了新冠时候的种种，想起每天看着新闻心头的焦虑，想起自己连续发着烧的担忧，也正是那时候我发现原来我们身边还是有许多伟大的人，也第一次真正感受到这个国家的力量，从那时候开始，14这个数字也变得不再一般了。
我想在路边的脏摊儿撸串啤酒吐到天亮。
这几部把敏后放在配角的位置是很明智的，但在话题上对我等普通人还是不太友好：创作瓶颈这种困境毕竟遥远，我还停留在投入不足的阶段。不过戳破和尴尬还是一如既往的好玩，也更显遇见另一个自己的难得，这是我能继续看的最大动力。
好惊人的互文，女演员失去了演大制作的机会，只能演独立影片，并被路人导演说可惜，然后被女作家反驳，这不就是现实中金敏喜的境遇吗！？还有女作家与洪的对应，真真实实在拍自己啊。那一段敏后也太美了，受不了！！
名叫援助，其实更像是这位护工对病人的扶持。有点公益广告的味道——疫情下的边缘群体，更需要社会人士身体力行地关怀，而不是口头问候。大量的大特写长镜头，像看《索尔之子》时一样焦虑。
所以这究竟是真实的生活还是影像呢？最后灵光一现般的彩色简直一举打破前面波澜不惊的基调，金敏喜太有灵气了吧。
我们无力对抗病毒，我们亦无力对抗政权，即便我们是对的。在灾难面前，能够独立思考，能够勇敢守护的好人确实不多了，他们拼尽全力想要保护身边的人，但有权力的人可能只要动一个手指就会摧毁一切。也许和病毒比，居心不良的人更可怕。电影把面对新冠与死亡的窒息感拍的特别好，用整整20分钟处理了一段精彩的表演。好人是伟大的，祝好人平安。
太浪漫了，给我美宕机了，下辈子不长这样我就去把阎王爷给鲨了/ 成为小说家，然后找金敏喜来实现自己的电影梦，我真不知道说什么了，我觉得这拍的是我梦想中的人生
89分钟转彩色。朴素自然。她冲出来，不快。黑屏。漫长的黑屏。
噢这么简单的故事 伪纪录片拍摄 直面镜头骂政府 能不五星？
第一部洪常秀，四星半-五星。观感有些奇妙，平常而不平庸，回味悠长。电影内容是小说家的电影，可这部作品算是电影家的小说/散文，洪常秀自己的。洪常秀以一种自然且随意的方式讲述着这个跟小说家有关的事情，却在最重要的“电影”上刻意忽略。他拍的很自然，我看的也很自然。
所以别说“战胜疫情”，太妄自尊大和避重就轻。那么多撕心裂肺，那么多人永远不可能回去，那么多不计数不具名的逝去，都真实地发生过，我们已经输了。人类没有战胜困难，人类只是习惯了习惯。
3.5，很有导演风格的一部导演的作品，活得久有什么意思吗？的确
英国体制内还是有清醒的人的。这场灾难也会让越来越多的人从麻木中觉醒。
敏后的出现和结尾 真的很温暖内心 像是寒风刺骨的秋冬里出现的跳舞的火焰
这样的吗。。幸福是梦幻，很值得吧。可以一起吗
一星给啾迪
当文本的预留空间已经够丰富，那部存在在对话中的“电影”反而不必呈现，权海骁出来还觉得是一部常规的洪常秀公式电影，但后半段诗人的角色一秒魂传江边旅馆甚至是这时对那时错。
不满镜头的美感不够以及摄影的载体太过于刻意，看到最后发现洪根本不在意这点，而正是想表达忙于镜头下被拍摄的人和人之间真实的联系，偶遇、虚伪、亲密、友好聚会，拍电影和写小说背后的秘密是没人关心的，最后拍得成功与否也不是重要的，好像以上这些就是正是要表达的核。秀恩爱的满屏浪漫在击碎我的心，告诉大家“你们真的不重要，我有敏喜！”。
