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.
開始也是結束的開始，想到香港的片名翻譯是「他和她的戀愛花期」是那種總結翻譯出來電影的主題。「花束般的戀愛」就如同片中那句他坐電車和被電車搖搖晃晃的時候，小小分別，確總覺得驚艷一點點。
导演过于偷懒了，爱情不是像对暗号一样对几本书、几首歌、几部电影，不过从毕业到初入社会的矛盾的展现，还是挺典型。
ps:两个人聊的东西都好表面，报菜名一般说了一堆名词，然后浅尝辄止，像极了大学时代考试周1天学习一门非专业课的我、
前面各种发糖。心想着哪怕是坂元裕二写的本子，用了这么多新海诚式的男女煽情旁白，也不会再被这种文艺青年的小清新恋爱打动了吧。但看到最后他们笑着哭着拥抱在一起、背对着对方互相挥手，还是有些泪目的。人世间的事情莫过于此：用一个瞬间来喜欢一样东西，然后用多年的时间来慢慢拷问自己为什么会喜欢这样东西。//2022.2.22正月廿二星期二于影院二刷！坂元笔下的东京真是个令人爱恨交加的城市啊，在这里能看到赤名莉香的笑容，和押井守聊音乐，也能见证苏打和村花这一段如花盛开到凋零的恋情。被大屏幕的村花每一个小眼神精准击中。
太难过了，几乎自己的真实写照，一辈子再也不想和这样的社畜恋爱了……当然可能遇到谁最后都会是这样
地铁里两人相遇只是挥一挥手，太让人心痛了。脑海被但已经晚了，已经不重要了的想法充斥着的时候真的是爱情已走到尽头。开心是真的，难过也是真的，我会记住一起美好的瞬间。餐厅的设计好绝。
一个人哭的爱情是陌生，两个人哭的爱情是新生
非常成功的类型片，能够在正确的位置精准触及到我的情绪，主题也有很大受众：文艺、青春、恋爱、社会规训，总有一个或多个点能感染到你。当然也就仅限于此了，刚看完甘草披萨觉得这部片子全方位的平庸：普普通通的视听，恋爱片范式般的故事线，反复出现的摄像机拍一遍旁白还要再说一遍的“事故”。
仿佛也跟着体验了一场细腻真实的恋爱，最后没有谁对谁错，只是彼此的步调和频率不再一致。果然还是校园时期最美好，进入社会你就必须接受各种现实，结尾那段真的看哭了
我认识的文青不会见面第三次了还在聊你看过啥啥啥然后因此就兴奋得不得了，音乐节上穿匡威的鞋也真的是很多。感觉日本可能缺个豆瓣，当文青扎堆儿的时候会让人对同好多这件事快速免疫。两人分手后坐在一起看电影聊天的氛围终于让我喘过气来了，那才像恋人，前面真的感觉好刻意哦。
我想起了鲸鱼的朋友们，那些在地下室看寺山修司、莫里斯皮亚拉，还有考里斯马基的下午。
花朵凋落的时候，先是从边缘开始残破、变色，然后慢慢地直抵花芯，被空气、水分、阳光慢慢蚕食。盛开的时候越美，枯萎的过程就越不堪。无论曾是什么颜色的花朵，最后都会蜷缩成一道黑色的斑，花与花有着相同的终点，就像随处可见的恋爱一样。当然，还有一种让花朵永存的方法，是在它尚未枯萎时，便摘下来、风干、做成干花，虽然香味全无，但胜在大致的情形还在，并得以更久的延续，就像随处可见的婚姻一样。曾经沧海难为水，如果不肯降低标准的话，便只能游弋于对沧海的幻梦之中。人总有妥协的一天，但面对一些曾深爱的人与事时，哪怕错过，哪怕失去，都不能去妥协，因为有些人，珍惜到不能将就。
幽默、文化符号运用纯熟。坂元裕二不愧是豆瓣用户，书影音狂轰滥炸，当代流行文化一锅乱炖。前半段用细节去堆两个平行个体的“怪异”他者性，错过终电的一夜漫游很爱在黎明破晓前，爱好和怪怪想法的电波一点一点对上，成为“俩恐龙过马路”情侣。面包会在涂黄油后掉落，校园恋爱会在毕业就职被毒打，后半段偏菲茨杰拉德，电波一点一点对不上，彼此失去感情，变回豆瓣友邻。天竺鼠押井守开口笑耳机蘑菇帝国电影票根做书签黄金神威自助信号灯宝石之国任天堂考里斯马基羊文学，符号都年轻流行，结构上展开变化有始有终，每一个都很戳中年轻文艺人的点，但一直被戳会审美疲劳。太工巧太讨喜，叙事弧太明显，台词太典型，符号塞太满，观感太刻意。我最喜欢的是最后在餐厅目睹和自己相似的年轻情侣，如在镜中，发现自己并不特别，文艺青年的傲慢荡然无存。
巧合太多反而显得设计太刻意了--但或许这样的事情真的存在吧？但即便如此，这种爱好的相似真的意味着两个人真的般配吗？抑或说爱情真的是要找这样高度相似的人才好吗？或许我会觉得很一个书架与自己不同的人在一起更好吧。这样的爱情展现得或许更多的是20出头的人--尤其在毕业前后--生活方式和观念产生剧变的无奈的缩影。
与志趣相投的人投身爱河。共同的喜好，共同的话题，让青春的情愫加速破壳。文艺青年热爱文艺，向往爱情。一起看艺术电影，谈论心喜的作家，甚至还有相同的审美。像新鲜的花朵被人采摘捆成花束，花束娇艳，被放进生活这个水瓶中，日复一日，鲜花终究还是要枯萎凋零。理想与现实总有出入，这个话题早已屡见不鲜。可看着生活对人们的改变如此之巨却仍不免伤感。也渐渐明白为何人们会以“归来仍是少年”作期许。化用刺猬乐队《火车驶向云外，梦安魂于九霄》里的一句歌词，当初的热情终将消散，但永远有人正怀揣着尚出世的热情。
坂元裕二依旧高水准
大人だから～是不是不长大就可以永远在恋爱中了呢？不过我才不要找文青谈恋爱，有一个喜欢喵喜欢可爱生物的彼氏就足够了！
看完哭着睡觉（不是）。第一幕就剧透到底，然后搭一个童话般的架子让人觉得how could this possibly go wrong? 再眼睁睁地看着宿命般的崩坏。最后这个环终于画完的时候又通过一对刚结识的情侣echo回开端是神来之笔（而且注意到这一整段直到最后才响起一点bgm，克制得令人赞赏），谁能不哭成村花？编剧画个完美的圆之后看不同的人解读也很有趣，很像照镜子，现实主义者责怪女主没变，理想主义者责怪男主变了。Don't judge.
文艺-小资-社畜特供片。已经被奉为大神的坂元裕二，这次奉献的剧本不过是二元对立+填充新鲜细节的产物，说僵化套路刻板并不为过。但针对特定观众群，这种剧作模式+选对演员已经足够让人买单。2.5
（重看补标）苏打别看《牯岭街》了，看看杨德昌的《青梅竹马》吧！片里经典台词送给他：“结婚不是万灵药，只是短暂的希望，让你以为一切可以重新开始的一种幻觉”……看完最大感触依然是刚毕业进社会的学生→社畜身份/心态转换期真的很难熬。
