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.
排演中排演 偶然洪化的滨口暂时丢弃了清清那把锋利的尖刀 还有 建议大家不要用那条明显人生攻击标签感很强的字幕 翻译的很差
恳请朋友们坚持看完！俩男主视角之后的女性视角叙事，将这部电影拉高了好几个度。我也是看到后来才明白，原来这竟是一部优秀的女权主义电影！#Venice
今晚要点一杯marguerite🥂
像话剧，我觉得张力最满的是第一个故事里男女对话那部分，挺喜欢的，但三个故事结尾都有点稍弱的感觉，可能生活里大多数的结局都是这样。
编剧太强，第三个故事是那种靠着想象力做出来的低成本科幻片，还是有点暖的那种。
四星半，3>2>1，谁能不喜欢第三个故事呢？我爱滨口龙介的长镜头，爱他镜头下表演细腻而毫不匠气的演员，爱他台词中坦诚的倾诉，爱他几乎每部都会有的直面角色的时刻
完成度很高，演员也很给力，可惜三个故事只靠电影标题拥有联系。片段电影的低难度系数和略显老套的故事情节让我对这个电影拿大奖有点摸不着头脑……第一个和第二个故事本有很大的发挥空间，可惜都在最期待对地点结束，第三个故事细腻收尾，但对一部进入电影界片单的电影来说，太日剧生活化了，没有满足我的期待啊……
世界电影，抽空生活质感直指生活的实质，发生在任何一个民族国家都没问题，所以，才会在世界受欢迎吧。但我还是喜欢那些更接地气的。
当看到滨口对于三个推镜头的处理的时候，我和恩仔脑海里共同浮现了一个名字，____（某青年导演）。于是你只能深深地感叹，天赋/直觉对于技艺的赋能是如此之巨大，它可以通过后天操练来补足，但是灵光一瞬的魔法在普普众生里，显得那么傲然又应当如是。简单平实的调度承载了得以让观者戚戚然的深邃文本，所以只要一个更为简单的变奏（急推），就让整个磁场骤然倒转。从《魔法》到《洞开》再到《复见》，三个推镜头被赋予不同的变奏意义，又共同服务于同一个大的主题；三个片段之间不必把它们用硬性的、必然的逻辑串连，因为“偶然”与“想象”谓之曰“轻巧”，它的起点是极轻的，但是人性、情感与其后产生的涟漪，又是一颗不安的石子。日后你看不见波纹，但它已在湖底，与鱼虾水草共生。
年度十佳。1＞3＞2，沟通，构建，颠覆，重建。
第二个故事精彩超乎想象，对话之中有一种细腻的互相试探的关系。
4-，第一段，与前任的再会，咄咄逼人的诚实，优柔寡断的眷恋，进行了一次重复；第二段，比较有趣，结尾部分，一开始以为有点多余，没想到竟然是另一段风情的展开（并确立了这段的主角），而且结尾才是主体，前面是解释，重逢才开始想象；第三段，戏剧性完全给了“偶然”，后面的展开反而有点刻意。
8.5，关于性，关于自我，关于过去与未来的三个小故事
尤其第三段，想象太暖心了！久久回味ing
日本有多少年没拍过这样一部能拿得出手的爱情片了（但其实说它是爱情片也不尽然），在谈论人际关系这方面，滨口打开了当下日本电影新的视角，既具有日本传统小情小爱的细腻，也不乏欧美那种理性文艺气息，不再局限在爱不爱，得不得到，失不失去这些窠臼上，感官就豁然开朗，并巧妙地以巧合为题，探讨在人生中那些意外可能会对过去未来产生的影响，借助想象之力（第一部中说与不说的自我想象，第二部以文学和声音为题的情欲想象，第三部把Xeron当做重要道具的前提想象），把时间线宕开，在故事之外还有留白，真是很妙。接下来十年，滨口一定会成为日本电影的重要力量。
9分。喜欢洪常秀的朋友，第一个故事最后一幕的那个镜头，你看笑了没？剧本很棒，三个故事短小又精妙。每个故事都与片名“偶然与想象”有关，第二个故事更是把“偶然”的出其不意发挥到了极致。当事双方极尽克制，把所有的欲望都放置于想象中了，本来是一次完美的思想上的交融，结果这一切却毁于一个小小的失误，真是太有意思了。第一个故事的偶然性如同短片名一样——魔法，很难相信现实生活中有这样的巧合，但在电影里就觉得合理。第三个故事“想象”的部分很有意思，素不相识的两个人因为共同怀念的过去的相似性愿意两次假扮重逢，这种浪漫恐怕也只存在于电影中。用台词推动剧情的发展，角色少、场景小，却没有洪常秀电影里那种乏味枯燥，生动形象、引人入胜。
对话电影很容易催眠的，但这部我越看越精神。很温柔，有一点点讽刺。可能是同为亚洲人，相对压抑的情感表达深入我心。
两部电影都有着极高的文学素养，镜头看似平平无奇，其下却暗流涌动，酝酿着随时可能爆发的惊人力量。既有着细腻、深沉的人性刻画，又有着张力满满的戏剧冲撞，真可谓是“等闲平地起波澜”。
剧本太好了，个人特别喜欢的是第一和第三个故事。那些未曾再联系的朋友，那些学生时期可能带给过别人光的人，希望大家都好好的。
实在是太太太太喜欢了！给了我关乎爱情的、蕴含种种思绪的奇妙想象，这是爱情的魔法，更是电影的魔法。
