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.
前面是个衔尾蛇结构，然后是一个尾声式的情感升华，说实话有一点点跳脱，不过浓度够高，不用计较
小说家，是电影的主角，她与人聊天，聊着聊着和演员搭上，她喜欢演员，突然想让她拍电影，拍出来的电影就是小说家的电影，看着只有聊天，但一点也不沉闷，对话很家常接地气，很好看
欧尼依旧扮演金敏喜，其他人则都在某个部分上扮演老洪。
俨然是公费恋爱。洪尚秀的电影，总之是看着人物聊着聊着就进去电影里了。
除了是缪斯的原因，因为无法再拍其他导演的电影，洪尚秀才反复地拍摄金敏喜吧。（他也应该是惋惜的
欧尼依旧扮演金敏喜，其他人则都在某个部分上扮演老洪。
对洪作品不感冒，但他好爱她，最后几分钟镜头里的她堪称爱意溢出银幕。每个导演/文青都该跟洪学谈恋爱。
自我的表达，有种举重若轻的感觉。（或许再刷我会给五星
这么“自我”以及“自私”的影像日记却一而再再而三的感动着不再相信爱情的世俗的人们
剖析的天平无止靠情绪，引遇朝向言语偏袒。在时间截流中与本我相遇，也在相扣中完成闭环，疫情当下影院中的短片是那时最动人的色彩，也是这时最真挚的告白。
金敏喜出现之后，视线就始终锁定在她身上，无法转移。
用拍电影的方式去讲一个拍电影的故事，最容易不经意间流露出真实的感情。
看完全片的我：骚瑞，作为多年洪粉，我对洪导最近戒烟还是戒酒毫不关心，对洪导有新欢（即使不是金）也无任何意见，但是看着一脸精明的金敏喜佯装单纯天真的忸怩作态，真的倍感恶心......但她和洪是绝配，因为两人骨子里都很享受名利带来的拥簇（也就是无论制作什么作品都会有人给出长篇大论的赞美），但在表达上绝对遵循“这是我自由的选择，我只渴望自由地自我表达，我追求纯洁的艺术，名利对我来说什么也不是”。不过洪的狡猾在于他会设置某些场景嘲讽自己的虚伪，而金在他的视角下永远无法开口，永远死气沉沉。
其实前面真的还是挺重复的。习以为常的故事。但是那个结尾，太浪漫了。好像这次没有人再对着金敏喜直接说你可真美啊这样的话。但是那个结尾，每一个镜头都在说你可真美啊。她独自哼唱着结婚进行曲，仿佛那就是他们两人的婚礼。所谓小说家的电影，就是他们的爱情电影吧。我爱你！我爱你！

对洪金cp不关心的观众是不是get不到这个电影的兴奋点啊...虽然我已经被洪导训练出了质疑镜头现实性的本能，并且在变焦的时候能自觉地识别出这是“偶然与想象”，但整体而言还是太重复了吧。洪导是拍完拿奖了事，阐释的功夫就留给影评人来做吧。还是得先看一看里维特、卡萨维茨这些讨论剧场性（虚构性）与现实性关系的导演，再来谈洪这样的导演。
洪导显然是吃透了拍电影这回事，资金从来都不重要。看似越来越随意的拍摄，却在结构上玩出了新高度。元电影戏中戏的小把戏自然不是什么新鲜技巧，但经过洪导一番加工有了其他导演很难达到的高度。小说家的电影（4分钟或47分钟）当然有效解释了此前她阐述的理论，这是浅层的嵌套。更深层的嵌套来自于洪常秀与《小说家的电影》，金敏喜的超高人气让她有了走出银幕的能力，洪导通过她在银幕内外支起了一座桥，作为摄影机后那个不存在的人，洪导自由地带着观众穿梭银幕完成自反。字幕结束后金敏喜走出影厅，明明小说家/洪常秀在电影中说好会在影厅外等候自己，此时却空无一人。在金敏喜怅惘的眼神中，影片完成了最终极的嵌套，来自银幕前观众脑海里有关影片的想象，与我们自己创作出的作品本身。洪常秀借电影的表达真的是他的表达吗？亦或是我们的臆想？
洪尚秀近年拍的都是这种路子。几乎不讲故事了。金敏喜的演技和颜值一如既往赏心悦目。
没有情节的故事、没有大哥们的世界，多美好。
像vlog、纪录片，又被巧合冲淡。翻了翻演职员表，导演和女主是恋人，就颇有一种微妙感，这种微妙是电影里如何借小说家之口宣告、驳斥也掩盖不住的。
