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.
EP.1-7 《无限列车》
3.5/5。本月最后一场在nyc的电影，这次雷暴还专门改了航班为了看一场，结果既没雷暴又还是期望过高。可以看出导演的野心，也很喜欢各种民俗和戏曲元素的叠加（唉，听到熟悉的戏曲还有点鼻酸，想外公了。）和四川话（字幕翻不出精髓啊），但我不是很喜欢整部电影给我的戏台感：虽然戏如人生，但以此来演绎人生和历史又会让我觉得出戏。像是儿时的一个梦，却总是和现实隔着一层帘布。同时男主的这个角色塑造也没能persuade me 他在戏曲上的成就，因为很显然这不是全片的focus。在知道它是众筹后还是不满意片中的戏曲训练，总觉得如果要展现丘福是一位如此杰出的丑角，这方面还是应该占比更多，否则就让我感到脱节和牵强了。另外真的很冗长，后半段略好。不过还是未来可期。(@anthology)
形式感上虽然已经在美术等各方面浓墨重彩，但依然让人感觉四不像。整体故事和霸王别姬很像，但缺少感情来推动，像是流水账。三个小时的时长使人对剧情疲劳，审美疲劳。但依然提供了许多形式意义，建议喜欢不喜欢的影视创作者都可以看看。
大潮流下的沉浮 / 四川话自带的属性让expo不会那么难受 又总有种乐天的感觉 / 极权之下 笑就是抵抗 / 结束在cr那边觉得不够 爱的是扫过去一众人像 扫回来已然空空如也 / set design有趣 / 初看戏剧式的表演有点too much对于电影 但看下去是戏如人生
三个章节三个视角，每个部分在相同的故事上有不同的细节。虽然是男人之间的战斗，但女人才是戏眼，男人的胜负是荣耀，可没人在乎女人才是战斗背后真正应该被在乎的人。
这期战斗说，只要说出那个人的名字就得死，到了十二鬼月也说那个人的名字，只是加‘大人’的称呼就不死了？
里面这几句印象深刻。
邱炯炯绝对是野生动物。浑然天生，随机又不间歇地溅射生命力（即使传记总是迈入死亡），影像呈现的所有更像是基于美学训练而不是“电影”学院训练，更不能拿Wes Anderson和他相提并论…与他不同，在他之外 @ Anthology
有些冗長，但是背景與人物的變化環環相扣，審美到位，不錯！
2.不管是在原著还是历史事件里，玛格丽特如果不信任丈夫，两人没有感情，她绝不会开口陈述事实。这次决斗实际上是两人一同发起的一次反抗，而导演却只将道德上正义的反抗放在女主这边，让Jean的行动都出于所谓自私和荣誉，why？？
看点在决斗，决斗很精彩。重点在女性，女性很屈辱。都在提《罗生门》，罗生门的三段叙述里有真有假，彼此矛盾。而这部片子的三段叙述都是真，没有假，属于三个人的三种视角。二者并不相同。
导演的美术出身实在是为电影奠定了强烈的美学风格。表演、服化、布景采用贴近戏班戏台演出，形成了奇妙的戏中戏
绘画背景：
6-10合集。虽然鬼灭好看，但花头精过多了。每次看到以为是新剧集，白高兴一场。
从第一章就能看出来这个故事有多难讲了
TV版动画6-10集的合辑篇，主要是讲炭治郎偶遇终极大反派，而后遇到鬼医生和她的迷弟，被请回家，双方针对如何变回人进行了探讨，并达成合作，再遇到两个被大反派安排来的鬼袭击，最后在几人通力合作下，解决了两个鬼，基本上没有在TV版上加什么内容，看过原本的话，可以不再看这个特别版。
声音和技术非常好 开拓了中国电影史 也教会我更多关于拍电影的方法 片中某一个细节使我心里一惊 我个人觉得这种方式非常独特且很适合描写中国政治下的小人物 导演为传统的故事找到了更适合的形式 非常好 遗憾的是 内容上没有新的真知灼见 只是为历史多提供了一个视角 但这个视角本身更多是文学性的 不是知识性的 但已经很不错了 不能要求太多 有些个别镜头的视听语言稍显“尴尬” 可能只是审美不同 希望导演和更多牛逼的编剧合作 再深一点！
剧本，配乐，演员的表演都精彩，几乎没有不好的表演，主角，店小二，邱福新的童年小孩，都太棒了。有两个不满意的地方，一个是文革那段的镜头和表演有点太“影视剧”，一个是导演的两次出场。特别是结尾出场可能对导演的身份来说很重要，但是有点破坏影片余韵，毕竟邱福新才是真正的主角，那些可能遗忘或者被遗忘的人才是主角。
TV动画《鬼灭之刃》的合集：第01~05集→《兄妹的羁绊》、第06~10集→《浅草篇》、第11~14集→《鼓屋敷篇》、第15~21集→《那田蜘蛛山篇》、第22~26集→《柱众会议・蝶屋敷篇》。
