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.
都市生活对空间占有与不确定性的驱赶不可避免，乡土游牧却又饱含自然性风险。似乎“房车”在二者间做着一种温和的调停：给你空间，给你流动。
景觀、光線與視聽之美讓我流淚，文本與對白的虛假無力一再將沉浸的我硬生生拉扯出來。
EP.1-7 《无限列车》
游移在荒野平原之上，穿梭于山林河流之间，身旁游牧者来去之间再难相见，琐碎的工作无法长久，房车即是所承载的一切，生活亦是曲水流觞的挽歌，打碎的盘子可以重新拼接，破碎的灵魂或许再难愈合，无依者无房可依亦无家可依，无依之地也许肉身可存，灵魂却孤独隽永中无处可以依靠。极美的摄影之下满是一种超然的内里，天人合一的状态下是无数底层阶级游牧者的故事，但这并不是奄奄一息的状态，更是一种坚韧和不朽的意味，或许每一块石头，每一次交谈，每一次告别都是可依的，然后仍然在某个破晓时分，再次出发。
这不是浪漫的公路之歌，而是献给不得不离开的人们。驱逐至边缘，流离失所的状态下，或许才能体会最大的迷惘与自由。
「I’ll see you down the road.」大概是一個心有所屬的人吧，也就對於這樣一個心無歸屬的故事比較無感了。攝影、音樂、演員都表現的很好，尤其是攝影，但文本及敘事步調還是比較難對上頻率，對我來說是一部沒有錯的電影，但也就僅此而已。
无聊、乏味、充满陈词滥调的公路电影。人物和情节一样，太过扁平，看电影简介就能构建整个叙事和表达的电影。
悲歌唱成赞歌，凄丽柔美纪录，既然决定上路，就只顾风雨兼程吧，我们路上见！
整体挺chill out，通俗版Terrence Malick能成新一代的鸡汤配方倒是没想到。
福恩是跟谁较劲啊？她自己吧…她最终还是回去了一趟，然后，又上路了。赵婷的第三部作品（前两部并没看过），这宋丹丹闺女说总是拍这种特贴近生活的故事。老无所依，无房所依，将以何种心态，何种方式，面对死亡？当福恩最后一站面对的，不就是这个冷酷、如山崖海边澎湃的世界吗。9分。
我们有多孤独，就有多自由。非常私人化的体验，钢琴曲像梦呓一般。总有一天，我们会再相逢。See you down the road.
赵婷的电影确实在一定程度上打碎了近十年来流行文化对于young wild American时代的庸俗想象，引入的萧条、阶级视角也几乎是独异的。但是我稍不满的是刻意强调主人公受文学影响的一面，而且画面配音乐的抒情方式也用得过多而显得偷懒了。印象深刻的是一幕背景音和现实吉他弹唱交叠覆盖的场景，断续的弦乐有一种超拔的视角。
震撼度不如当时看《骑士》那么强烈，缺少了一股狠劲。之前看过一个赵婷谈马力克的《新世界》对她创作的影响，这部片子里有更多效仿马力克拍人与自然的镜头调度，但是其中有一些成为了这部片子的减分项，因为她们两者的落脚点是不同的，马力克希望我们关注的是个体之上的宇宙，而赵婷更像是宇宙之下的个体，所以她通过给置身于广袤无垠中的科恩嫂中景的那些镜头所营造的氛围，比起树林里的几个马力克调度，要对这个主题表达更有效。不过整体还是胜在质感，以及四平八稳的铺陈和人物塑造，减少对白通过镜头来交代心态变化也做得很干净利落和清晰，确实拍的挺扎实
为什么流浪
EP.1-7 《无限列车》
中年无奈版《在路上》 赵婷给在别人印象中狂野粗旷的公路片拍出了独特的细腻温柔 节奏把握很好 科恩嫂的表演又一次没让人失望
tv版拼凑。第11~14集→《鼓屋敷篇》。
科恩嫂腮帮子都会演戏。
《无依之地》，如果没有潜在的感情线，追随自由和死去的丈夫的约定，就更像人一生的荒芜了。
正如伟大的音乐家凯莉·米诺所说的，we all got wanderlust in the darkest place
