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.
最后20分钟把原作的含蓄朦胧全都整得直白通俗了。不过奈绪是真的美啊
用实线描写命运 也是种「徒劳」
便是雪国
没有川端康成的原作了，剧情主线完全依赖于旁白推进，极大程度削弱演员及镜头带来的感染力。卡司还行布景构图氛围是不错的，配乐与氛围相合打光太僵硬。川端康成对人物心理的描写落于纸上是细腻和寂寥，一旦改编成对话就显得刻意又矫情
粮仓为何发出销魂异响？
因为对新选组的历史不太理解，所以有些地方没太看懂。但是总体是好看的，特别是杀阵，看的我很激动。冲田吐血和最后去世的时候，哭了😭
叙事真的很文学，也就是高桥一生的声音能hold住大段旁白
“某些炽烈燃烧的情感就像这雪夜蚕室里簇然升起的火焰，雪悲哀落下来的时候，我也需要接受我爱的只是一场虚妄，可我对这虚妄也极致热爱啊，心底寂静的红，和心外寂静的雪，以及很多的期待与失落，都静悄悄的落幕。《雪国》的结尾让我意难平，喜欢起一个人来也要命的意难平，火焰总会被扑灭，雪国又将重回寂静，但那些火光与雪交织的雪夜，总将历历入我梦来。想起你来的时候，仿佛你的脸也映在火光与朦胧的雪之中，所有的爱与悲哀都像银河，哗啦一下倾泻到我的心坎里。也请，一遍一遍的，将我冲散吧，将我压垮吧……
没看懂的电影，我的水平好低Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
剧组下乡拍片遭古怪老人屠杀只能算血腥暴力片
so fucking hard core and disturbing. the editing is creative while the sexual part is a turn-off.
跟书比，故事性强了，氛围感弱了，雪很美奈绪也很美，可惜高桥一生不是我想象中的岛村，情感也不太是我在书里感受到的情感
非典型爱恨情仇 世间万物都是徒劳 却不愿就此沉沦
没读原著的人眼里，感觉是一个装逼犯与傻小妞的故事……傻小妞还尚且惹人怜爱。装逼犯真的感觉是来观光喝花酒的游客，和这个故事完全没关系………
想象中会有漂亮的雪国之景，狗血混乱的爱情故事，结果没怎么呈现景色，爱情到了还是纯爱。没看过原著，所以只是根据预告片和正片谈观感。驹子、叶子和行男，青梅竹马和病榻陪伴，一生君倒是成了故事的讲述者，不是主角。
高桥这次的演技有些让我失望，更像21世纪涩谷街头的冷面杀手，还患有面部抽搐和冷冻症，和另外的主角站在一起还以为是穿越过去的旁观者，一些小说里的经典场景也没有拍出让我心荡神摇的感觉，总体不合预期。
看这部小说时阅读能力还不强，这部电影将其中细腻的情感体现出来了，我觉得挺好
对于原著作出了一种解读。让人想再看一遍原著。
我承认我草率了，如果不了解川端康成、不了解日本那个时代的文学背景的话，会看的有点云里雾里，不过高桥一生独特的气质倒是撑得起来角色，那种颓颓的、玩世不恭又有点厌世的气质和嗓音，很适合演这种薄情寡淡的角色。
有点可惜，编剧偷懒了，导致过于文学化。大部分时候都在注意念白，而忽略了在演些什么。
