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.
希望洪接下来的创作重心转移到李慧英身上，很野，很aggressive。
4.0。聰明如洪常秀，自然不會讓電影趣味停留在點綴其間的現實對位和作為前者創作慣性產物的自反嘲弄。近乎全程過度曝光的攝影打破了處於表層的現實基調，轉而塑造出一個個記憶、現實與想像交織的空間。置於片尾（也是結構核心）的真實vlog因而不過是傳達作者意圖的媒介，而非單純的「粉絲物料」。
不是记录，却生发出无限的真实。洪-金的婚礼在过曝的黑白中冲洗出彩色，是属于影像的温柔。
观众期待有故事情节，这也成了这位导演讽刺鄙视的重点，电影要不断突破带来进步，但这种电影以及想要说的观点却只是突破，没有进步。
电影最后的温柔爱意恨不得泄洪一般奔涌出屏幕，太美了在那样亲密的镜头下金敏喜实在太美了！而在小吉不遗余力调动地鼓励下，我破天荒地没有睡着看完全片
4.5 洪的“粉丝向电影”。像是《引见》与《逃走的女人》的集合体：不断引见人物关系的同时也不断逃走，远离熟人，俨然是有趣的闭环章节。实验也还在继续，从《引见》男性敌对的一体两面，到《小说家的电影》中女性的理想化同体，洪常秀依然在肆无忌惮地诠释自己“情境”电影观念下无限的概念创作可能性，甚至展望电影之外，玩起了媒介的转换。“小说家的电影”向观众诠释什么是洪常秀的电影世界：如何传达生活中舒适的真实、如何同讨厌他的人拌嘴、如何赞美爱人与志同道合者，但最后洪经由金敏喜走出影院后的怅然若失，依然把对于电影的感受权交还给了观众：“我爱电影的真实与舒适，拍完后我就只一个劲背对着人群抽烟，至于荧幕前的你，则可爱可恨，爱咋咋地。”如今的洪，恢复了自信、洒脱，还多出了几分可爱。
导演夹带私货已经没有上限了，敏后表演最松弛的一次。虽然我还是不怎么喜欢，但是能看敏后和一众熟悉的演员们每年尬聊一次，就已经很好。
两星都给台词……
小精灵、小古怪、小甜蜜、小社恐，尴尬得异常真实。
《引见》《在你面前》《小说家的电影》，说实话连着三部，实在让人产生了审美疲劳，甚至略微有厌烦感。翻来覆去那么几句台词，导演、演员、诗人、制片人、小说家等等等等各路文艺工作者一边走着、站着、坐着、喝着一边商业互吹，“我是你的粉丝，见到你真荣幸”“你的作品实在太有魅力了”“你一定能写出、拍出、演出更好地作品的”balabalabala，真是越听越不是滋味。还好这片子还能看看金敏喜，洪常秀我是看够了。
像一本私人生活日记，寻常日子里的人与事物，在艺术家的眼中，都变成了可以言说的东西。这种意味很美，有些零碎，但很美，就像出门时，看到小区门口的树照耀在阳光中，满眼的绿色，门卫大爷坐在绿荫下、坐在风中，检查着过往人们的出入证和身份验证信息，这一幕也很美，是独独属于这一时期的时光雕刻。李慧英和金敏喜的演绎很有味道，小说家的一举一动都在克制和直抒胸臆之间，而女演员呢，她简直是一个精灵，黑白影像中，她举着野花，笑着往前走，那一幕，云朵都跟着她歌唱吧！
用反驳导演的话来替敏喜辩护，借作家之口阐述自己创作理念，结尾的捧花婚礼进行曲在镜头内外互传爱意，戏里戏外的洪导。
“天色尚早，但是很快就会暗下来。趁着白日漫漫，我们一起去散步”。捧着花哼着歌的金敏喜像个天真无邪的小女孩。“我爱你”。“我也爱你。”
变焦、推拉、黑白、除了角色空无一人的镜头……
无语，洪老头怎么还换着花样撒狗粮啊。对洪老头这种絮絮叨叨自我表达的电影越来越没兴趣了。单纯想看一眼敏姐，过得好我就放心了。但凡让敏姐露个正脸，魅力秒杀所有人。
“偶然”与“想象”！这一部洪将观众视点置于更高的上帝角度，让必然先于偶然存于观者认知，却又反向迸发出胜于单纯偶然的魅力，于是我们看到：金敏喜与小说家的见面是出于小说家通过镜头观察的偶然前提下时空与物件(导演夫妇)缺一不可而造成的必然，而当两人吃饭时洪将敏喜的电话内容公开给观众，这时观众与敏喜的角色融合，在局外的小说家即将迎来一个归于电影开始的偶然，于是电影结构回到开始，直至敏喜入睡而跳入另一个亦虚亦实的“想象”时空，一直延伸到最后轻盈浪漫的短片，以纪录视角模糊电影与真实，洪在镜头后与敏喜示爱，这一次是置于面前公开的，对比小说家第一次高空视角的隐藏，不得不想小说家就是洪现阶段的自我指涉，而电影就是镜头前后共同创造的真实。
是不需要任何介质就能进入的，舍弃了视觉元素的表面构造之后，文本和结构也不再重要，从黑白到彩色再回到黑白暗合了现实和影像的冲击，都在一念之间。好久以前就在说，永远是爱人的镜头最能捕捉到好看的脸，印象里从来没有见过如此温柔的洪，这注定是一部会被每个人赋予私人意义的电影，是我的冬日动物园了
姐姐太美了，姐姐就算演公园一棵树，也会美到闪闪发光。
我看洪主要的原因：一些豆瓣迷影er太过疯狂和强烈的爱让我很快找到资源。
长袖哥又在电影里夸媳妇！对这种话唠片越来越爱了
