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.

法比安好可爱，交不起房租领救济了都要给喜欢的女人买裙子。近三个小时却不觉得无聊。
最近韩国电影看多了，好久没有看到这么对胃口的电影了
与《巴比伦柏林》相同的时代背景，展现了两次世界大战中场休息期间的德国众生相。主角的身份设定和故事线可谓极具讽刺性的潦倒落魄：空负博士学位而失业，一路向下的人生轨迹，以至救人反溺水的结尾都很难称为高光时刻。然而正是在这样不堪的表象下，对爱和美的追求才显得格外动人。
“生活是最有趣的工作” 法比安则是最无聊的无业游民 他总是有气无力 失去女友后 愤懑不平的法比安将内心的怒气一泻而出——他在太阳底下伸出了舌头 当这个不擅长对生活主动出击的社会边缘人士逐渐被逼退到角落 只能回老家寻找安慰时 依然没意识到自己已经逐步滑向与时势相反的轨道 正像他在见义勇为前完全忘记了自己不会游泳 倘若他能走得更远 也许会展现出更多冲动与勇气 但结局恐怕是一样的
闪闪发光，虽然被践踏、被毁坏，但是在火焰和水流里，都发出那种真的光芒，那是他们想要消灭却束手无策的，那是最要紧，最值得守护的。
好摇滚，好性感。深以为爱情，真是不错。比崩坏浪漫。
蛮喜欢众柱现身，但是画风台词创意真比不上BLEACH。
我靠，导演心是真黑啊……听到妈妈坐火车回老家德累斯顿我心就一沉，这结局甚至没让法比安等到战争爆发……逝去的人烧毁的原稿，一切美好都在逝去或终将逝去
以犬儒享乐主义知识分子在时代中的私人故事承载二战政治文化生活反思，不仅具有反战批判也具有辐射跨时代生存方式的现代启示意义。艺术作为人生活追求的基本权利与社会义务与责任的关系是割裂的，身处于具体时代背景中的人想要追寻基本的这项权利必须用扭曲的游戏身份去出卖身体与灵魂。对现世的逃避反叛，在个人能力缺失、在基本生活都无法在正常社会中被允许保障时，夸张的欲望变成了畸形人体与战争产物，人们在矛盾的困境中孤独挣扎，法比安拒绝女人包养，但他的爱人却拼命挤身名流，无奈可悲是他依然怀有对天真女人的爱，他最后并非死于溺水而是死于被销毁的书籍笔记，正如法西斯的暴行对整个知识社会的强奸，历史上烧书禁严时代的耻辱将电影的批判推向终结的高潮。自动钢琴是艺术不在场和工具化。感情真挚多落泪，工整之余且平庸。文笔深厚且精妙
山雨欲来前柏林的混乱与失序，像是最后的狂欢，清醒的人只能试图逆流而上，英文片名很直白。胶片很美，手持晃太狠了
尼...玛...一定要这样子吗..不会游泳不要轻易下水...啊啊..尼玛..
一战之后纳粹执政前夕德国经济崩溃，社会动荡且糜烂，可是也有很多即将逝去的美好。朋友拉布德代表的共产主义在人民不开化（男主说的）的当时没有立足之地；社会淫乱、失业高、一战创伤、艺术无法营生、无道德的柏林；晚上六点多村里电线杆上起火了，第一次见到消防队来到村里，火把宽带光缆烧了，抢修队很快来了修到了快半夜一点还没修好；三人分别是因社会的恶而死，自己的善而死，自己的恶而改变。
逐渐沉浸，像是听了一个很长很长的故事。沉浮中尽是虚无。
7/10 豆瓣简介里写的东西都没有看出来。我很敬佩导演的努力，但他也许更擅长拍TV，大银幕观众的体验他没有完全抓住，并不是镜头剪辑很乱很碎就体现了慌乱动荡。（关于手持镜头这事，我们得好好谈谈
个人与国家命运的结合叙述，电影名取得不错，是Fabian又名沉沦之路，也是Fabian or 沉沦之路
1931柏林风光，东部是犯罪，中部是流氓，北部是贫穷，西部是堕落。爱人的缠绵，友人的绝笔信，溺水的生命。该死的人活着，该活的人死了。走得太早是不是要比太迟要好。自《希特勒男孩》《我们的父辈》之后最适合Schilling的角色。
在他梦想的天堂里，人们仍然在自相残杀。
个人与城市与历史三重呼应 浪漫之下寻找体面的意义 die anständigen Sieg 跨赛道破题莫泊桑所谓的 Nutzlose Schönheit 看似虚无的浮光被大背景下时局动荡震碎 且和最内里的底层生理反馈勾连得当 描摹精准 p.s. 哈哈哈 这是 Schilling 小天使第二度饰演出身我村的人物了 das blöde an der Avantgarde ist, dass sie immer so avantgardistisch sein muss 以及 Görlitz 真的是拍摄常用外景好地方
这个结局也是真的没猜到。时代洪流背景下小人物的结局。
