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.
日常本常既视感，前30分钟会需要按耐住躁动，在探险小队成功抵达第一个洞底之后有所缓解。牧马老人和探险小队兵分两路，老人象征着时间，从精神矍铄到垂垂老矣，到平静逝去，是那种inner peace的体验。探险小队一步一步深入，到最后观众也跟着紧张起来，甚至担心他们被卡在洞里出不来。我挺赞同这是一部精神情色片的。
北影节，在困、想拉尿和焦虑之间徘徊，至此，上述三种感受每种打一颗星
7/10
补了北影节的遗憾；屏住呼吸的温度，层层下探，很适合上海的深夜
#BJIFF No.7#本届北影节最后一部，非常奇妙的观影体验，只可意会难以言传，也就睡了两觉吧，无对白+环境音实在太像助眠的白噪音了。
Bjiff2021 所谓精神抚慰不过如此，通篇交织生命无言的消逝和苍然的呼唤，不断重复下坠直到脚踏实地。提前宣布是今年北影节最佳，去年的是《蜂蜜之地》。
上映时间恰逢残奥会，挺好的宣传，但叙事有点不流畅，有些情节煽情过度了。
好看，但是集齐了好睡的所有元素！睁眼的时候我以为我在大草原上，我个人不适合这种没台词的哈
期待许久并会引发思考但真的没法全神贯注仔细看的电影。这部依旧充满着对自然发展的原始思考：高耸的大楼、年迈的老者与“洞”的深度形成两个个层次的对比，自然高低的延申与时间长短的延续，赋予这部原本属于科教的电影某种哲思。乡间的摄影依旧优秀，但这部缺少了前几部有意突出的自然意象，而拍得更加直接，直接去注视、去见证和去探索。#中途的困意在结尾的绘图水笔对这687米洞穴的勾勒中渐渐消退了。
三半，剧本不错，除了真人真事加持，细节见微知著。拍摄上有些地方过于滥情，上来就大煽，中段平衡过来，成名后再低潮又起才是重头戏。百度百科上写爸爸是油漆工，妈妈无业，片子里妈妈一人要打四份工，母职是严重低估。故事未有以惯常俗套称颂母爱，儿子投诉妈妈不是帮是管，次子被忽视，都是反高潮的妙点。钱小豪父亲形象则游离不定，社会叙事边缘化女性，家庭叙事边缘化男性。体育最是诚不我欺，时间和汗水，身体的反应最直接。“香港地，一个正常运动员退役后都难以为继。”经纪人讲的是一个“结果”，直觉上人顺着结果去指导自己的行动，容易辜负初心。接广告赚钱，也反映资本对人的束缚。去年白银马拉松事故中一个不幸遇难的小伙子，最开始是在体育基地打工，就是喜欢跑，被教练发现。愿人人能体会运动的快乐有机会发挥体育精神。
不可理解的Woo-oh 洞有终结 抵达后再无法前进 最后画上一个圆形 人亦有终结 治病治完后抬出房 不寻常的视角：从上方往下如同冷静客观的天地一样的俯视视角 导演有种异乎寻常的科学一样的冷静 好像生老病死都只是自然循环 不带感情
8.5 / 弗兰马汀诺十年磨一剑。不仅延续《四次》的自然主义风格，全片无对白、缓慢摇移的长镜头、自然光和丰富的声音细节；也延续了前作的主题，关于自然和生命，在这样的大背景下，没有一个特写的人，人类与自然和谐共生。而比前作更让我喜欢的地方在于，他在本片给「洞穴」也赋予了生命（海报即是洞穴望向人类的主观视角）。影片讲述了科考队探索当时世界上第三深洞的全过程，辅以一位老人生命垂危的支线。探索至洞穴最底部，老人也随之逝去。极致的观影体验让影片更为纯粹，层次细腻的光影呈现和微小但信息量巨大的声音细节无疑让本片全为大银幕而生，洞穴里明暗对照的光亮形成了洞的呼吸，简直迷人至极，丝毫不敢让人浪费一分一秒。@BJIFF2021
真的容易睡着，完全不需要字幕……老人死去，洞探到底。山洞里的摄影和调度还是牛逼的！
#2021IFFMH# 4.5 / 人归于自然和人深入自然，两种融合的结合。
作为一个电影作品来说真的问题挺多的，作为一个传记来说也是有很多问题的。但是这个题材内容是值得关注的。演员表现特别好。
7/10
又见这种含辛茹苦式的母爱，沉重到想替男主深呼吸，但好在有个体育励志的主线，能够有终点线这么一个纯粹的目标，所有委屈和负重可以甩在身后，男主不同时期的演员表演得还不错，吴君如一般了，钱小豪就是个工具人吧，怎么每一部歌颂母亲的电影里父亲都形同虚设。
high speed 大光圈重手拍法將電影去到廣告質感，但更重手的煽情音樂加如此直接的情感宣洩，貌似攝影手法又跟創作者的目標統一了起來。就是做最簡單粗暴的溫情勵志戲，沒什麼高要求。劇本完整，三幕劇，人設和母子關係變化上，細節笑果的調味上都調動了節奏，讓不那麼情節飽滿的故事也不至於太悶，其實事件是不夠的。你看到後面是審美疲勞的。兩個男演員真好，尤其少年，我一直以為他是真的殘障人士，當他靠上母親肩膀，努力說出把金牌當金器送母親時我有被戳到，尋常的感動比後面的刻意煽情要有效很多。而对残障运动员一刹那光辉不代表永恒的行业现状点到即止，也看出了创作者的商业定位和侧重
虽然有点困，杜比全景声有加成，处理的很诗意
嗚嗚，太喜歡了，洞穴裡的水滴聲就是我的靈魂音樂。with菠菜在ff。
