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.
8/10.
但却被这样敷衍了事
无情地碾压过一个又一个追求渺小而具体的幸福的人
自打该系列开始真人化以来就一直心情复杂的在期盼追忆篇。欣喜的是爷青结，惶恐的是毁童年。
因为知道是村花演雪代巴，我内心一度是很抵触的。但是，她登场的一瞬间，我就感到，这个选角太妙了。村花真的演得很好，而巴的发型也很好地修饰了她的脸型。而砂糖的剑心有多好真不用赘述了，只能说，现在的佐藤健，他演绎每一个角色都会让我觉得他是为这个角色而生的。
其實最後看這一部是對的 一切都回到最初 哎 看一次傷心一次 從小就堅信Kenshin唯一愛過的只有Tomoe 漫改當中 這一部的選角接近完美了 有村完全符合童年看動漫的Tomoe形象啊 佐藤健也是唯一的kenshin 拔刀齋
浪客剑心最动人的部分，是不同的人，在新旧时代的交界点上，做了选择，并不屈不挠的为自己的选择而战。日本演员们总有一种挥之不去的漫画气质，热血或者怒吼，都出奇地合理。佐藤健遇到绯村剑心这个角色，实在是幸运。
20年前看的漫画，10年前开始电影系列第一部，到今天为止终于完结，大友不仅奉献了我心目中最好的漫改电影系列，也让佐藤健在个人影史上塑造了一个经典的人物，到这部结束，在我心里剑心就是佐藤健，佐藤健已经就是剑心了
大家好深沉 女主一家好悲剧 剧情慢得好捉急
原作得是初中时候看的了，真人电影也算是圆满结束，这部比人诛篇明显剧情充实多了，但村花实在不是我心中雪代巴的样子……
雪地场景拍得太美了😭😭😭 等我找个时间从第一部开始从头再看一遍
即使抱着很高的期待值去看，也不会很失望。冷色调营造的时代沧桑感，系列最写实和最冷峻的血腥场景，还有“一切尽在不言中”的眉目传情，都让本作成为了完成度最高的漫改（没有之一）。也许作为动作电影，剧情逻辑细推还有不少问题（反派嘴遁不下死手太经典了），但是作为爱情片，已经足够浪漫了。
最后追忆篇收尾的安排很好，本来不太理解先人诛后追忆。四溅的血液和屠杀看得好爽（bushi (￣▽￣) 几段真的再现了人斬り抜刀斎 让本来已经想不起来为什么小时候那么喜欢剑心的我内心感叹怪不得会那么喜欢 还想感叹一下真人版做到了剑心是剑心 佐藤健是佐藤健（虽然印象里的剑心似乎没有这么这么阴郁？ 那句あなた杀伤力确实巨大
【B－】如果关于《浪客剑心》这个系列你只看过真人版改编的话，这部「追忆篇」倒也确实不错。但对于看过那部经典OVA的观众来讲，本片作为系列收官作真是拉了大胯。毫不夸张地讲，真人版「追忆篇」每时每刻都在彰显着「动画」作为影像载体的优越性，无论文戏（分镜演出的上限彻底被实拍给锁死，更别提两位主演的演技都很迷惑）还是武戏（没错，武戏的节奏安插有很大问题，集中体现在第三幕）。动画里太多太多的高光时刻到了真人版要么被草草提及，要么无影无踪。而且反复观看第三幕后终于确认，剑心脸上那道十字疤划歪了....
果然还得是有血腥气，才会让动作戏更吸引人。情感浓度没有OVA好，前半程都挺不错的，剑心怎么遇见巴，俩人在客栈里来来回回的试探和若即若离的关系。但是到了乡下反而生出一种完成拍摄任务的感觉，影调不再那么暧昧了。
评5星的理由：鉴于前4部我都给了4星，这部评分没有理由比前4低。无论是倒幕运动的历史线，纯粹刀光剑影血雨的武斗线，还是沉默寡言与周边喧闹形成对比的感情线，都均衡处理衔接自然交错补缺。结局火祭茅屋桥段莫名撼动，适度让压抑的情绪自然挥发，然后回归时代洪流主题。PS：有村架纯演绎的雪代巴很有味道，不比动画版差。
20年前看的漫画，10年前开始电影系列第一部，到今天为止终于完结，大友不仅奉献了我心目中最好的漫改电影系列，也让佐藤健在个人影史上塑造了一个经典的人物，到这部结束，在我心里剑心就是佐藤健，佐藤健已经就是剑心了
终于，历经九年，大友启史与佐藤健，用这部追忆篇给剑心系列画上了一个颇为圆满的句号。靠削弱所有其他人物，剧情，乃至动作元素，为剑心与巴这段凄美的爱情让路，从最终效果上来说，是值得的。这样一个女人如何在复仇的过程中爱上仇人的故事，本片描述的足够令人信服，起承转合都非常到位，也让观众清晰了他之后不杀生，守护人民的信念是从何而来。本部不仅是画面格外优美，有相当多构图和镜头语言，是去为人物心境和情绪氛围，提供额外的表达与烘托。有村架纯演绎的巴也确确实实能让原作党满意，除了最后的那种矛盾感还差点意思。但打戏还是要吐槽，佐藤健绝对迅猛凌厉的身手是让打戏平均水准相比上部有所提升。但除他以外一个能打的都没有，又让全片看起来连一场足够惊叹的打戏都没有……不过还是希望后面星霜篇就别拍了……给剑心一个好结局吧😭
回溯到幕末全冷兵器时期，会比之前几部掺杂坚炮利船来得更纯粹，也就更有了真实的时代感。开场那段屠杀场面设计不错（w 后续也多有属于死亡的独特美感。
对前行的路，有些许疑惑，获得与失去，会让自己看清更多，有时候，许多事都身不由己，但仍需坚持下去，为了更好的未来。
