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.
女主表演痕迹太重，整个片子影像也缺乏质感。只能说对阿兹海默症的关注值得肯定。
很平常的家庭故事，唯独公园烟饼那场戏有些突兀，而且最后一场戏多余了，女儿给父亲洗澡是全片亮点。两位老人演技很自然；年轻演员台本痕迹过重，没有生活逻辑。掌机的情绪节奏控制太差。
和父母有关的段落非常真实动人
有点为了这点醋包了这顿饺子的感觉。比如，想把跑酷元素加入电影中；想把美人鱼的故事做成电影；还有一段洗脑的旋律啊啊啊啊。细品起来也别有一番风味，泡泡组成了歌，歌又终将回归漩涡、正如电影中提到的，银河系最终会和仙女座相撞，所有人都会化为原子，最后在新的星星里重逢。小的元素与大的背景（泡泡末日）结合，形成电影独特的风味。美中不足的是有时候画面看起来缺经费。
一星给制作，一星给音乐，还有一星是让评分不至于太惨😂
画面五颗星，音乐四星半，剧情负八星，加在一起四舍五入一颗星
最后几个分镜太棒了，空手打麻将，躺在漫水房间的床架子上，有点超现实主义的味道。
【2022.05.31】画面还是挺唯美好看的，但是回归到电影本质的话，可不能只有画面的嘛！剧情虽然没什么特别的，不过也看得下去，主要还是这里面的设定，到最后也没解释清楚这泡泡究竟是怎么一回事呀！反正最后也不知道主题想讲的是什么就是了。
剧本还是够劲爆的，但是其他地方乏善可陈。一部力求真实的电影说一些文艺过头的话实在太尬了，感觉梦境元素也有点强行添加的意思，不能给人一组很满足很饱满的情感共鸣和臆想。
人鱼公主同人mv。谈不上烂，但真的好无聊啊，哈欠连天。这种配置的制作，套这个剧情，真的，虚渊玄挨骂不冤。
太真实了，真实得可怕，这样的故事在我的家庭里发生过，也天天在亿万个家庭中上演着
4.6之前一直记不住片子的名字，这次终于记住了，很实的一部片子，写实的生活，真实的生活困境，但是有点可惜的是没有什么明确的导演风格，只是一个普通人的故事展现在面前。
爱情故事一般，普通吧。主要是人类末日的氛围提升了点主题
这是用生活表达电影
对比老虚的鬼哭街和沙耶我实在不相信这剧本是这样一位人能写出来的，情节有点俗套枯燥个人有点遗憾不解。
映后跟朋友讨论，朋友第一句话就是：这导演是个长镜头之王啊！！！拿了龙标，快快上映，我要二刷！！！！
3.5，拼贴感太重，戏和表演尬的时刻很多，剧作缺乏主题。寿衣店老板的山西话加分，爸爸蹲马桶喊着要回小东门、秦父子俩厨房对谈、秦父在殡仪馆劝姐妹节哀三段表演准确而动人。女儿推着父亲从公园走进烟雾、单镜头蒙太奇从窗外现在时跳回窗内高中再跳回现实贼灵，结尾废墟中的鬼魅镜头令人印象深刻。
跑酷情节几乎是唯一的亮点 故事已经不足以用俗套来形容了 我的评价是 可以不看
emmm既然是这种题材，有些艺术表达就，，，很有意思，但没必要。
虽然最后我眼眶还是不争气地湿润了，但为什么现在还在拍人鱼公主啊？无语
