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.
其中加入的歌谣和韵味都与原著优美的长诗体遥相呼应
电影故事取材于中世纪传奇《高文爵士与绿衣骑士》，没有依原著表现骑士英勇的史诗，而是反其道而行之，展现高文爵士面对种种魔幻挑战时的羸弱与不堪，最终呈现出被迫成长的故事，似乎兼带对自然保护的思考？
这是一场赴死的旅程
归乡好于离乡，前后次序调换一下说不定更好，《钉子》的布景和动作戏露怯了，但无法掩盖前三分之二动人的感伤。战后，昨日的世界，摇晃的车厢，意大利人，西西里，老年与青年，演员致敬，安葬，随风而逝，大海……回家啊，回到我的故乡，文明的故乡，那些永恒的乡愁。
4.而且城堡深V女主人霸王硬上弓，也不晓得是她自己觊觎高文爵士的贞操还是为了助攻她老公，她不仅送了一本爱心之书，还与其深入探讨了绿色的哲学涵义。
Off with your head my knight
五星都给Dev的颜值。电影拍的非常美，但还是要说印度裔演古英国圆桌骑士有些奇怪。。。
？？？啊这。。。黑人问号脸。。。虽然不知所谓，不过进击的巨人那段有点意思
关于生命，死亡，与告别——与Pirandello的告别，维托里奥的告别，还有男孩对自己杀死的红发女孩的漫长告别——她的生命被永远留在童年，男孩一天天长大，终于也来到生命的暮年，即将面对与人世的告别。生命就像一个又一个轮回，但每个春天，夏天，秋天，和落雪的冬天，都有一个人坐在小小的愈发凋零的墓碑前，直到这个人也已满头白发。
伟大作家去世褪色，身体化作尘埃散去，但其完成和未完成的作品光鲜亮丽的延续下去，导演以此纪念去世的哥哥。
这部电影观后感让我新认识自己的一个点是，我喜欢所有“寻自/朝圣/成长/求道之旅”，但不喜欢所有其中包含有“试炼和考验”设定的此类传奇或寓言。试炼啥试炼 啥对美德对人性的考验个啥要干嘛。现在的我就很明确讨厌那些老故事的出发点和动机，暗戳戳中很站不住脚很值得怀疑和唾弃。包括对荣耀对美德对某种精神的一些追求的寓言，其中的空洞荒谬通过此“是骑士就来砍我”的故事一路上带给我的困惑愈加凸显。最后一分钟的通彻的勇气让人释放，虽然这勇气和这一路的经历（在他本人的故事里）我不懂意义是啥。
一部个人化的作品，献给已过世的兄弟。记忆已经褪色，未来是五彩斑斓的。
以后这样的作品能不能不要再进主竞赛单元啊，够浪费时间的，意大利电影有时候真的很踩雷
因为没有背景而看得一知半解。但前半部分灰白中凋亡一代文学大师、送别和平年代，迎来欧洲分崩离析的那些别扭的、撕扯的记忆，高至诺奖获奖者也需要漫长等待才能魂归故里。也因此对这个作家和他的《钉子》起了兴趣。
还挺不错的，电影院观感也很棒。A24风格显眼，小成本拍出了史诗大作的味道很不容易，服化道摄影配乐都相当加分。由于事先了解了故事原型，整体理解没有什么太大障碍，以至于古英语和咬文嚼字也并不觉得有什么太大的问题。些许细节不错，几个原创场景也值得拿来具体分析。全片动物戏都很加分，从开场的驴鸭互动到后来的狐狸角色都有点戳到我…还有就是片中有不少很冷的笑点正中我下怀了，不过全场鸦雀无声可能还是我比较奇怪吧…
很多剪辑破坏了延续的诗意，一股子想要拍出epic的味道，但是呢，epic的错觉其实是配乐造成的(哦，还有那些摄影）。问题是，它的配乐真的太吵了呀，感觉就没停过，如果只在一些“传说”段落出现那还尚可。所以这种所谓的史诗感在全片到处都能感觉到一点，很多时候甚至替代了语言，与五花八门的摄影和特效一起堆成了视觉奇观，我只想说：哇哦！
除了美工，其他没看出啥好的。色调过暗，看的难受，节奏拖沓，乏善可陈。
狗狗很可爱…但是这么溜这么大的狗还不拴绳不能忍。
记忆和历史总是充满乡愁，那个我们所说的故乡，它时常有风飘过，带着逝者的尘灰回到他亲人的身旁。我的记忆是黑白，但却总能记起你的世界是彩色，“未完成”的作品呈上，我搭上记忆的列车与你作别，我亲爱的哥哥，希望你这一路上能乘着那阵海风慢慢地飘走。
儿童，宠物，童话，降智的永远在抢夺路上的反派，嗯套路雷同也就算了，但是演的真的有点差啊，演技呢演技。。。
