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.
倒叙意义是啥啊？还要去琢磨情节。以感情为引导多拍点小叶沙哑的声音两个人跳舞的街头少点设计感吧
不像《花束》 除了故事看起来相像外 叙述的手法都截然不同 更像《爱情是什么》一点 不过作者通过前任来回忆这个点还挺有意思的
这种电影可太费枕头套了。
爱情的开始和结束都不在一瞬间，随着时间细微的变化只有自己清楚
那些真正时常闪回的片段，并不是《花束般的恋爱》中那么具象的音乐、小说。
《夜空总有最大密度的蓝色》和《花束般的恋爱》参照着来，再配些今泉力哉和又吉直树的味道～两个天才主演也只是正常发挥了下～
本质上说，人生就是一段无意义的旅程，我们都像计程车司机一样，需要陪伴乘客到达一个被赋予意义的目的地，分别后再次启程。
熬过前面，后面越来越棒，整部看完，前面的无聊也精彩起来了，超棒
弊，俾作上岸埋街食井水状嘅愤青回插心口一刀。瘟疫后不再粉饰失望，疲累到不想煽动甚至刻意拒绝共情，旧记忆旧理想赤子心请尾崎世界观返场一并送葬。结束地球最后的夜晚，清晨无限迫近东京，永远告别夜空一抹最深蓝曾经送来的一段喘息。
8/10
很喜欢这种普通成年人的爱情故事。没有杂七杂八奇奇怪怪的背景加成，都是在社会里以自己的方式摸爬滚打，挣扎着奋斗着燃烧自己的人。以微不足道的理由走到一起，小心维系着炙热又脆弱的情感，又以微不足道的理由分开。会在平淡生活的某些片刻突然回想起点什么，不过也只是一瞬间。然后在同一片天空下的不同角落迎来各自的清晨。

不错，感觉在本片中，松居大悟一直迷恋的时间结构才真正发挥作用。同一天的倒序排列共同组成一次漫长的闪回，剧场的相遇衔起首尾，正在发生的每一刻都与之前的某一刻构成精巧的呼应和微妙的共振，苦与乐、悲与喜、分离与相遇、沉默与言说、坚持与放弃互相交织映照。真唏嘘啊，我们注定在相拥的同时擦肩而过，正如你的生日总是超了7分钟，可是绿灯却刚好亮起，向前行驶，是你操纵了我的车灯，照亮前方的道路。
如果说恋爱大多爱而不得的结果无法改变
好痛苦的观影体验，前半部分扎刀子，后半部分拔刀子……在表演和画面上都很有“电影质感”，看完想给很多电影减一颗星（此处拉踩花束恋）。有好多喜欢的片段，印象最深刻的是出租车里吵架的长镜头和结尾的跳舞（和背后的尾崎世界观）。看完的本人：双目无神大脑空白……
后疫情时代的倒叙爱情故事。

有一部描写错过的爱情的日本片，特有的孤独感，整片的叙事慢、慢、慢，爱的人很喜欢给5星，不爱的人觉得很闷的片，啥也讲不深刻，为赋新词强说愁，人物逻辑交代无法说服我，演员的表演也很淡。
确实 “稍微想起一些”了 用倒叙的手法写了回忆杀 死去的回忆又在互相攻击了吧 真的很难忘记吧 水族馆的舞蹈真的好甜啊 最后那个转场我死了 双眼都浸满泪水了的两人
池松壮亮好像长发+摘掉黑框眼镜的cbvivi喔
