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.
一个人在一个小厅里，看的还是非常沉浸的。在捉襟见肘的成本限制下，营造了压抑的氛围，也留下了几个深入人心的镜头。难得的是摒弃了单纯的对抗，更多展现艰险的环境和生与义的取舍，在国产片里做到了独具一格。我们同样需要这种电影。
“年轻的红军战士洪启辰接到军令，必须在48小时内炸毁敌人的弹药库。这是一条赴死的军令……”为何是48小时，而不是46小时？那时候战士人人都有手表，可以精确计时？直接说两天不好吗？
看评论都在和伊万的童年做比较，就想着来一探究竟，确实没法比，但也属于具有艺术性形式大于等于内容的故事，中国美术学院出品
20220626等·艺术，和帮帮
生命和道义这样老生常谈的命题被很好地包裹到小故事大人物的叙事结构当中，无需大场面也能很好代入。
C-，参加的某观影组织搞的活动，映后交流来了导演和男一，有一半多时间都是“哎呀我和导演老朋友了呀”“哎呀导演我是你以前的学生呀”“哎呀导演我朋友也在里面演戏好巧哇”这种浪费时间的话。竟然没有哪怕是一个人问，为什么这电影是该死的如此地暗，抹着奇怪的滤镜。为数不多值得称赞的是方言配音，故事发生于浙西南，当地人民确实是丽水那边的方言，国民党确实是宁波的方言，共产党是四川、湖南那些地方……里面的小孩“小哨子”，我们浙江这边确实是念“小叫子”的……好乱哦，大家居然能互相听得懂吗？导演说想要“诗意”，我只感受到了“单薄”。但不管怎么说，男演员还是蛮帅气的惹
看不进去，也没怎么看懂，只能说是国内战争片里面少有的不主旋律的电影。
电影的色调拍摄风景我还是很喜欢的，国美的作品审美什么的还是很在线的。
结尾好担心从对面地上传来枪声，担心担心担心…但是没有
再前门这里看￣ ￣)σ的镜头很美，叙事完整，讲述的是一个战士执行任务炸弹药库的故事，故事由此开始由此结束。
整体黑白灰的色调非常符合影片的战争故事，唯美且富有艺术性，烟雾笼罩下更增添一丝丝魔幻感觉，非常值得一看。
诗歌这种题材是骗不了人的，你有多高尚，多深奥，你的诗歌便有多优秀；你有多庸俗多浅薄，你的诗便有多媚俗。
你说吧，这样一个电影，真的有点不太忍心打低分。这么多肉眼可见的粗糙之处、稚嫩之处，离“成熟的佳作”，还有很远的路要走。但是又不得不承认美院的人真的认认真真地雕琢出了这样一份作品，主创们比绝大多数内地战争片、主旋律片创作者更有底气将自己拍的东西称作艺术。一些镜头的设计、意识流的使用还有结尾的血雨倾盆，给国内烂大街的战争题材注入了鲜有的美感与诗意。可能最近真的被金鸡百花恶心到了（年年主旋律任务片开会），这个好评必须要有。
总体来说形式大于内核。不愧是美院作品，摄影上之压抑与孤寂全通过灰调、枯树、云烟、死水展现出来了，服装妆容也能算合格，倒是把年代和气氛勾画出来了，运镜一搞变焦就感觉很现代，与所谓之东方诗意美学总感觉相悖。故事很简单，想讨论奉献、挣扎与牺牲，但人物没有事件的堆叠就没有情感的积累，共情不足。但好歹是主旋律的小进步吧。
幻觉部分水里还有埋小哨子那里拍出来恐怖片的感觉魔幻现实
这种时候，能去电影院就尽量去……还有就是，男主太像我同学了
南京后窗放映看了，不知道是调色就这么调的还是银幕问题，画面里总有蓝光。看了半个小时才慢慢习惯这种泛蓝的画面…
美院作品，观感很好。美术和场景调度都很好，适配度高，画面细节做得也比较到位。整个氛围营造得有紧张感，将抗战题材打造得很类型化艺术化，我喜欢。不过，表演、台词、配音、声音处理都确实比较差。
优秀的摄影美学，不能掩盖编剧与剪辑的孱弱，希望美院领导们不要沉醉于北京电影节三座“天坛奖”与“有一定观影门槛”的沾沾自喜中。起码看一下塞塔尼亚，人家是怎么用人物引领镜头，气场贯通，张力整篇不泄的。当然无佳章有佳句，前半段游曳的蛇建构紧张气氛让我想起楢山节考，后面小战士牺牲后男主的意识流瞬间也很喜欢：不断遇见紧张作战的自己
