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.
比较过誉，主要是贾静雯的表演绷得很紧，不如同片的王净。
（中途想了三次“还有？”吧（结尾导演狠不下心你就输到底了啊
蝙蝠侠的初次登场让人回想起当年蒂姆·伯顿的系列首部——身披强大而神秘的威慑力浮现在明暗交界处，只是比起从空中展翼而降的基顿，帕丁森选择了愤怒的一步步走入画面：新一代比起老一辈要缺乏浪漫气息并更加痛苦，甚至背负着精神病史、极端情绪和不被理解的恐惧。里夫斯继“科洛弗”的911症候与“猩球”的法西斯主义后再造一座将倾的都会，这是前辈人的领地，如同费拉拉、斯科塞斯、沃尔特·希尔和唐·希格尔电影中的世界，年轻一代该如何去适应与重新征服，并理清于上一辈阴影下的纠缠，是电影和现实都在关心的问题。欣慰的是被逼上绝路的这一代没有选择夸张的幻想，而是拿起手电踉跄又坚定的追寻在雨夜，且最终的高潮并未交给前人痴迷的暴力，信号棒点亮日出，一场晨曦到来前的救援成为了真正的英雄时刻，他们终于信任了他，他终于融进了这座城。
意外比前作好，至少解決了節奏拖沓的問題，但仍在耍屌。有可能是魏如萱出來太好笑了讓我覺得這部比較幽默 (儘管那或許並非本意)。然後家景根本就是鍾孟宏品味展示中心吧這也很好笑...總結是...我覺得鍾孟宏應該感謝壁虎先生，他幫大家打了劑預防針，而且讓更多觀眾願意進戲院一探究竟 (至少我就是啦)
请侯导火速拍新片，请张作骥光速回春，这个成片质量是真的不行，顶多算好中上的摄影作品。还是那句老话，中岛长雄是华语电影界顶级摄影大师，每部作品都可证明，钟导水平尚可，钟编剧请你赶快停笔。“瀑布”的点题和围绕主题的内容都非常勉强。
社会是复杂多变的，人也是复杂多变的，然而有的东西永远也无法改变，那就是亲人间的羁绊关爱。
主任对路口开车的司机说，你有没有考过驾照？哈哈。想起阳光普照了，我就是驾校教练啊。
Why so serious?? 居然比扎导版更一本正经… 绷三个小时真的有点累。追车戏看得很爽，文戏亮点不多。
贾静雯演的真好，透过屏幕都感觉到了那种崩溃的压力和无力感
观感是喜忧参半的。电影探讨的是突如其来的变故对家庭生活的影响，很多象征和指向，不过也有些刻意和割裂，时而真实的不像话，时而荒诞的想吐槽，把这两种风格放在一起就很别扭和矛盾，越到后面越觉得冗长，幸亏有一些神来之笔。贾静雯王净发挥差不多，前者胜出还是因为经得住特写的表演很多，这在评审团评奖里很具有优势。
比《阳光普照》好太多了，喜欢后半段的疗愈性。
虽然阳光普照也并不是觉得有多好看，但比较之下，是阳光普照比瀑布要好一些。
台湾这两年生产女性电影啊！这是像北欧靠拢的感觉啊！简单的故事片，家庭的一小段故事，谈不上9分，但是8分还是可以有的！
比起前作《阳光普照》，其实个人反而会更喜欢这部《瀑布》的故事，看着设定过分完美的女儿帮助思觉失调的母亲“重振旗鼓”，没有感动是假的，但是整体格局和情感表达依旧是之前那一套，设计感过重，荒诞感更甚，无论是瀑布与阳光，还是蓝色幕布，人与人之间的关系被解构，接着被重塑，道理大家都懂嘛，也就在视听方面比较享受就是了。
谜语人家里，他把布鲁斯·韦恩的照片和蝙蝠侠的报纸贴在一起，还写道：我知道你的真面目。
我就想问问谜语人，既然你都会做炸弹了，为什么不最后在人群聚集的广场也放几个汽车炸弹呢，等逃生的人都来了再引爆不就完了。非得请一群没什么战斗力的人来射杀群众，这不就是摆明了让batman来做英雄吗。如果拒绝走传统超英电影的那一套，麻烦至少先打磨下剧本吧，剧情上的硬伤让我实在是看不下去。细想一下蝙蝠侠从头到位有做任何有实际作用的事情吗，一直被谜语人带着走，结尾强行挽救。摄影和美术确实挺独特的，但是好几个场景极其刻意，叙事节奏强行拉慢，情绪也起不来。涅槃乐队也不是就是丧，人家虽然歌词写得颓废，但是演出还是很有激情的。这片子从头看到尾我内心没有一点波动。
以及我终于想起来陈以文像谁了，远藤宪一。最近这几个片看下来感觉他演得真好。贾静雯和王净的表演也都很吸引我。
三星半吧。没有到最佳影片的程度，也没看到惊艳的镜头和表演，跟剧情一样，都是一个情绪。2022.02.12
从第一视角去拍思觉失调患者，剧本创作的难度很大，最后能够在叙事上成立，已经相当难得；对社会现实的呈现就比较差了。
张力还是有，关系也刻画得妙。疫情期间的戏，很多人物的口罩怎么不戴好？
