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.
为了冲奖都疯特了。全片两个主演都介于半疯和全疯之间，Tammy疯了一半时长突然有给她猛上价值观，但这个人是歌唱得好，能鼓舞人心还是个好基督徒到底哪个是重要的都没交代清楚。看到最后想起四姐的名言：上帝要使人毁灭，必先使其疯狂。《拨开迷雾》《地狱》和本片，互相综合一下疯批配比，是不是就会中和后两部的难看程度了。
1.也许对这段历史了解不多，所以很难找到共鸣，但女主角的表现确实出彩。2.光鲜的背后，都有一地鸡毛？
妆发和表演一流 但是编导过于平庸 俩话痨神棍的大起大落 杰西卡·查斯坦的影后拿的绰绰有余。
故事的核心始终没找到属于自己的落脚点，终成平庸寡淡的流水账。
服化道非常厉害，看到后期的Tammy我都能闻到美国大妈身上的那股香味。他们真的是一个时代的产物。信仰给人力量也让人迷惑。
看到这么大跨度的时间顺序叙事我就知道：天呐又是流水账。全靠劳模姐一人撑起，她太好了，是看今年奥斯卡女主混剪都能感觉到的突出，加菲在她面前显得尴尬。Tammy Faye这个角色令我着迷，疑惑怎么会有这样一个充满能量却又脆弱的人，行骗天下却又那么真挚。
最后反转太牵强了，明明被割喉流那么多血还能反杀
shudder，今年圣丹斯展映的口碑不俗，烂番茄87% 均分6.8，IMDb 6.6。
在精彩的剧情和表演之外，这电影的美术和设计都做得好棒！每个年代的风格都体现在所有细节里。真是厉害啊……五星好评
拍出了女性的恐惧不安，植入到心底的恐惧。走夜路，回头再回头，张望又张望。谁在那里？想要做什么？这里有一个强壮的男人丈夫保护你，保护你什么？免受其他男人的骚扰？电影、超市跟踪尾行，不敢回头不敢直视，仿佛只要自己足够小心，就能避开危险。
and 劳模前半段造型好像打雷！
她的“积极”看的我好“难过”...劳模姐真的Deserves 一个奥斯卡吧！
剧情如同强力压缩包 加菲真的不太适合这角色 劳模姐继茉莉牌局后又一次惊艳到我 影后提名实至名归
劳模姐每年始终如一输出优秀的表演，这次应该是很有希望的，希望跟加菲这次都能有所收获，片子整体一般，主要靠演员魅力带动片子，跟那年的朱迪有些许相似，但都不是特别喜欢.
水准绝对在，但这种人物传记，真实记录片肯定冲击更大，印象深的地方是对自我沉醉的刻画，一直在做作的状态下，以至于越来越分不清“真我”，把自己抽空了。
这片子一直在试图引导观众去凝视女主的表演，但结果是我们凝视到的却是化妆。这和至暗时刻还不太一样，反而很像戴安娜里的小k，一直让人无法在原演员和试图让观众信服的角色之间找到焦点。所以就表演而言，更像是模仿秀，并不喜欢这种呈现方式。而所叙述的这个人物，和国内观众又必定会有代沟，不在一个宗教体系，也没有宗教电视台的语境，我相信绝大部分人从一开始进入这一对夫妻就觉得是传销和诈骗，其中的人物变化和复杂性就很难去探索，更别说去理解劳模姐所说的“真诚”。其中又试图去植入过多的议题，倒不如打从一开始就顺着塔米菲为同性恋群体平权的立场，讲清楚一件事就好
劳模姐演技太可了。另外电影最后要是没那么政治正确整体也许会好一些
这部还可以啊，属于放下电影就要百度百科历史的片子。学了点知识的那种。毕竟了解一个国家一段历史的横向剖面还是需要靠电影呢。
表演艺术感染力很强，但是以宗教为背景，每个线索都太碎片，作为传记又像什么都没解析到，不知道是不是因为自己先入为主、偏见太大。感觉故事和《圣母》很相似、但《圣母》明显好很多。其实最能打动我的还是真实存在的人，最后字幕打过让人感叹人还是多面的
202227 完全冲着奥斯卡影后劳模姐去看的 前半部分觉得演技没看出来值得影后奖杯 后半段好几处真的发自内心的赞叹 奥斯卡影后终于被劳模姐摘得，且实至名归！不过我还是要吐槽：为什么好多拼命三娘拿奥斯卡影后好难，自我牺牲太大，比如劳模姐、olivia colman 而有些人明明得奖的片子演的很一般却可以拿影后，比如艾玛斯通、大表姐
