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.
通过暴露日常生活里突如其来的drama性来消解集体无意识中构建起来的“爱情神话” 但反而祛魅到最后才又回归至神话终究是神话的层面 每个篇章结尾的zoom都如神来之笔 骤然将那一时段内的所有情感浓缩放大在那一刻 就像是魔法 摄影机记录下的这一切都如同魔法
三段故事都很喜欢，闲暇里的奇妙假想，偶遇中冲动的心意，用其他名字修饰的性欲。电影里相差无几的时分，最后一则巧遇最奇妙。迫不及待地追上她跟前，诉说的情感显得宜人而灵动，即使是不相干的人，也是生活中最美好的事情之一
真有意思啊，比同期《花束般的恋爱》好看太多了。精致的剧本，都是日常生活中常见又不常见的事，每个故事都很喜欢。第二个故事教授总是把门打开，这点还蛮有感触，我大学时的老师也都是这样，但这是因为学校的反性骚扰机制做得很好，教授一旦被举报就完蛋所以不得不这样来自保，相比国内高校就根本不可能哎……
平静单调生活里骤起的波澜。第一个故事，有一个喜欢主动制造复杂的女孩；第二个故事，女人是被复杂所诱惑；第三个故事脱离了短篇小说最习惯的男女、婚姻这些设定，观看时全程在猜二十年前的女生情感有什么好讲的呢，如此被一层一层一层地代入进去，天桥的片段看得忍不住叹息，从未体会过的共鸣。
第三個故事滿分，轉角拾回的對方和自己。前兩則四星。古川琴音看起來太小了，25歲像15歲一樣，總覺得中島步在向未成年下手。
“命运之轮与想象之轮”，滨口龙介大师般沉稳而轻盈的《偶然与想象》用这个英文标题点出想象的重要功能，于祸兮福兮的命运轮转里亦能起到积极的推动作用。三个故事里，想象分别在几个女性角色成长的旅程里起到了止损、启发和实践的效果，而最重要的楔子即是电影正中的朗读戏，由于这一段中作家与读者的角色设定，我们必须将其视为电影对本身诗学立场的阐释。作家因其生活现实中诱惑的缺乏而靠想象写下的露骨情节忽然以诱惑者的形式变现，并通过朗读的行为反哺于他，这样一来女大学生变成了一等艺术作品里复杂、不可预估也不可范式化的神秘角色，而这正是滨口的创造。那些通过艺术想象构建出的偶然情景中的(女)角色们就这样用想象获得了掌握命运的agency。这不在第三个故事里，她们就自己当起了导演，在自己的艺术作品里获得了深刻的命运沟通。
男【呆，不知道，气！，不上你当！，你有病逼我爱你，绷不住了 爱你！，笑死 要吐了，你坦诚 值得信赖，努力理解你不伤己，退缩】
往后将是滨口独步影坛的黄金十年。和洪尚秀之类比较并无必要，因为滨口俨然自成一方风景，他的故事不可能让人失望，因为他不设置悬念，更不试图展示什么以说服观众，他只是通过一座体验之桥，邀请你进到他的世界里来；在这里，故事性的“偶然”不再是主角，因为我们享有的是电影的“偶然”。手册五虎中最难接洽的两级，侯麦的设计和里维特的即兴扮演，在他手上加之黑泽清式日常的仪式化，达成珍贵的和解。本作看似行云流水的几场相遇中，便藏着影史隐秘的交锋：故事二是侯麦式色诱的变体，故事三是里维特演员观的举一反三，而故事一则是《夜以继日》和《这时对那时错》的分台重演；可一切又在滨口的表演调度和剧作层次上被统筹归总。在这个创造力奄奄一息的年代看到滨口是一个奇迹，因为他的身上似乎映照着许多前人的名字，又似乎只是电影本身。
偶然的相遇，在想象中释然，意外的遗憾和痛苦织成生活的真相，网住人们的情感与理智。剧本真的好啊，虽然每个故事不相关，但很小篇幅都蕴含很强的情绪和人物抉择，太厉害
几个故事都很妙，用对话推动剧情，在日常中发现魔幻时刻。最爱的其实是最后一个，尤其是两人第二次假扮重逢的时候，突然被感动了，又是属于电影的魔力时间，偶然的重逢，有趣的想象。以电影实现生活中的不可能。有点意思。
比起炫技的特效和浮夸的段子 还是真情实感最打动人
非常侯麦，非常有意思。期待《驾驶我的车》！
孩子臉都在撩動故事裏頭的陰謀詭計，入侵日常的戲碼，超出日常生活的出格，唯有走入虛構塑造了新情景、創造可能。但那有時候也叫命運也叫偶然的事，不是性格與(有時錯置的)記憶決定使然？濱口不會上演黑澤清那般Mabuse博士式任意擺佈，而是一場又一場，你我他她相知相遇相愛的錯敗與甜蜜達到自主的人生劇場，情慾與情感無法達到飽和，只能在生活中尋找出路方向的現實感，只存在人與人間才達成的完滿。他的人物教我觸動，是展示出非一般的坦白，暴露人前如此坦蕩蕩，無論出於妒忌的傷害，或是沉溺性慾引至的過錯，你也不忍責難。（聯想到Cassevtes 的《Faces》裡一張張過渡曝光的臉），說像Rohmer或洪常秀，不如說是預演村上春樹最好的短篇，甚至有片刻可達到比村上成就更高的Raymond Carver時刻。澀谷占部和河井還有玄里重回更成熟的濱口世界，莫名感動
不错，清水出芙蓉，天然去雕饰，日常中的一点点不日常，蛮高级的，台词写得真好，演员也厉害，要背那么绵密的对话，像第一段车上的固定长镜头，不知讲了多少句。第一个故事《魔法》，最后幻想的两个结尾，意趣深长；第二个故事《打开门》，最后公交车的反悔一吻和迫不及待交出的名片，也是令人回味；第三个故事《再度》最好，短发女认错百合初恋，巴啦啦表错情，对方化解尴尬，将错就错扮演从前恋人，自己也想起了从前的恋人，扶梯上来来回回几个段落，太可爱了。
今年看过的最好的电影，并且想多看几遍。它的剧本怎么能这么好，演员也好，每个年龄段的女性的内心为什么能探悉得如此精确。真的太好了，让人忍不住也想去写东西去创作来表达的程度。
很遗憾地觉得我应该这辈子写不出这么厉害的对白……因为我不说人话（…）个人而言相比洪尚秀感的滨口更喜欢黑泽清一点的滨口……可能因为我真的是个不爱说话的人2333片子还是很厉害的。
有声小说大师为您呈现：纯情女x2与海王；人妻、教授与坏学生；傻大姐x2
本来因为陈赫和沈腾不打算看的，因为朋友的邀约还是屈服了。
相当高妙的魔性意淫片，滨口龙介的发力点是如何将意淫内涵不断地丰富，这个过程带来了一种魔性神力的弥散。画面越是清新明亮写实，魔性越是强（算是间离式场面调度技巧）。几个女角选得都特别到位。第一段是两位女角之间气质的极大反差。第二段是女角所为所行与气质之间的反差。第三段是女主气质够路人，但却上演了超现实的魔性邂逅演出。年度强片。4.5
太喜欢了，有洪尚秀、王家卫的影子，属于东亚人特有的细腻，节奏把握、人类情感洞察特别舒服、美妙。滨口龙介也太会写了，头脑和心思很特殊的存在。[A-]
