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.
3.5 感觉是看了2h SP而不是映画_(:з」∠)_节奏一点没变耶有点偷懒，Spitz很妙～
快点跟她说不爱了，快点，惩罚她
私心想给四星，演员的演技可以加一星，但是电影本身顶多三星吧。这片的俩女主很大程度上不是因为什么宗教势力的外在压迫而分开的，更深层的原因是因为信仰不同、追求的生活方式不同。所以有人说这片俗套在属于被外力强行分开的苦情ntxl那类电影其实不太对。但是这片的问题也蛮多的，感情的展开没有头绪，主角的内心着墨太少，莫名其妙推进多，俗套街头亲吻被撞见也有，故事本身也太单薄没有新意。相比之下，同样涉及宗教和女同性恋题材的《橘子不是唯一的水果》要厚重有味道得多，人物更复杂立体，不过毕竟后者是获奖无数的作家监制的剧嘛…
虽然有一些感情分在里面，但还是值得四星
"Cool."
喂！两个人能不能先各自回去把各自的老公现女友了结一下？太渣了好不好？
真不错，很纯欲，感情线好流畅啊，两人之间的火花完全能溅到观众身上，加上宗教线以后人物形象更加丰满了，虽然Jamie很讨喜，但是Marik的勇敢更可贵啊。喜欢！
前面一股子姬恋直，直撩姬的味道，然后有点莫名其妙腾一下就干柴烈火了起来。anyway这个禁欲的拍摄风格还是很爱🥰
影版花了两个小时讲了一件事：史郎也是很爱贤二的，用自己的方式。挺好看，很甜，看的时候会很饿，记得准备点吃的。
青少年的爱情电影容易拍得轻浮，多数角色不能说服观众他们的happily ever after。这就使得他们的海誓山盟像过家家的道具，他们的聚散离合不过是一次对成年生活的模拟。这部电影保留了青少年电影的青涩和单纯，但是借由信仰的差异把二人的爱情塑造得超越了年龄。Marike和Jaime跨越了宗教信仰的相互吸引拍得太真，Jaime以旁观者的姿态疏解Marike压抑的家庭生活，却是一步步沉沦，直到幸福与信条再无可能共存。克制和激情结合的背德感，真的是狠狠上头了
女主的型完全正中我心！看到昔日爱人被婚姻生育折磨的样子反应难道不是：幸亏我跑了？
“我想跟走在这里的每个人炫耀你的好~”
ps：结局看到那么憔悴的女二心都要碎了，跟她走吧，fuck Jehovah
做菜部分拍的挺不错。
还是那个味道！希望可以一直出下去，每集做一餐的饭！烟火气可以一直看下去
有几处忐忑又心动，intimate touch. 永远爱着彼此但永远不会在一起。
一如既往的温馨，两个大叔在一起的相处，就是日常的幸福，让人觉得，啊！这样的生活真好啊！好希望也有这样一个人能够和他一起慢慢变老。
谁不想要西岛叔这样又会做饭又可爱的对象啊😭不过略尬，感觉还是更适合拍成剧
美食依旧不可辜负，剧情肉麻了一些～贤二真的是把人母死，哈哈哈哈，同时你也无法想象史朗今年还去了奥斯卡～
明知她俩会被发现，还是看得好紧张/ let’s go the long way
