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.
为什么最后一切都变好了还是要结婚？为什么不可以重新在一起？
带着对豪门恩怨的偏见 带着对老雷的要求 看到几乎睡着 最后的“baby can i hold you”才把我叫醒。。。对了 我差点没认出莱托 又一次
九十年代后香港很少描写校园生活的电影作品（这点与内地、台湾电影对比很明显），而这片讲的则是一所女校里两个女生之间的朦朦胧胧的爱情、友情，整体也比较保守。同类型影片个人更喜欢去年年底台湾的那部《第一次遇见花香的时刻》
为了狗血而狗血，关键剧情（伪造遗嘱？）一笔带过
虽然中间好几次想打人，但是已经很久没这么投入看电影了🥲真会亲
维基百科可比这好看多了……但高领毛衣版司机赛高！
虽然中间好几次想打人，但是已经很久没这么投入看电影了🥲真会亲
我真的好吃这样的剧情哦，大概是因为自身一些经历混杂的吧，滥俗又痴迷。
朋友们啊女同的钱是真好骗啊，就这种柔光刻板青春爱情故事整体逻辑稀烂感情爆发也全靠硬推说真的你放到异性恋或者男同我都骂死了啊啊啊但是女同啊啊啊啊这可是女同啊就是说懂的都懂tj人和fp人家庭与命运父亲的手表真的懂的都懂啊啊啊啊我特么后半程一直在哭从好兄弟到芝士蛋糕都舍不得的父亲
4/10。以处女作来说，勉强算是完成了任务，但拍摄与剧作上的缺点必须要指出。首先滤镜实在太亮了，甚至有些泛白，还有下雨、沐浴的场景是否多了点？明白导演希望营造浪漫或落寞的气氛，但有些过了。剧作的问题更大，大量直观的旁白影响质感，电影同时是用来看、感受的，而不仅仅是听的。其次，不明白为什么要设立30岁再结婚这个期限，明明相爱，而且大学毕业后已经没有任何阻力（至少影片没有表达），为何要等到30岁呢？即便社会、家长不允许两人在一起，难道两人到了30岁就会允许了吗？
作为爆米花片看得还挺开心的，之后还买了一个Gucci的耳环XD
难以相信出自雷导之手，难看到令人发指，司机成了我坚持看完的唯一理由。对gaga的厌恶程度到达了新高峰，有点恶心了已经
崆峒深柜把姬佬耍的团团转啊哈哈哈哈哈，什么30岁没有结婚我们就结婚，诶我就给你来个30岁前结婚，合着拉拉最爱的是和男人结婚是吗
没想到奥斯卡级别的导演和卡司阵容竟然拍出了如此糟糕的效果，剧本的硬伤直接让整个故事没有重点也没有落脚点的吊儿郎当平庸至极，Gucci家族的勾心斗角和尔虞我诈可以用一部电视剧来表现，而浓缩在两小时内乱的毫无章法顾此失彼，是争夺股权还是杀夫泄恨？是兄弟反目还是个人无能？是移情别恋还是因爱生恨？好像都说到了却好像都没说。一部可以拍得很精彩的家族戏成了大杂烩的四不像。以歌手的角度看gaga的表演挺不错，但距离优秀演员还差太多了，演的好像我家门口菜市场买鱼的大妈，几处情绪的表现不自然太演了，反倒是杰瑞德·莱托成为全片唯一惊艳之处，但表演的痕迹也太浓了。应该算是颁奖季中最差的一部了。赚的都是吆喝而已。
稀碎，这不是能成为密友大概总带着爱，这是谁说旧情人变不到老友😓
故事本身不复杂，镜头语言也非常唯美，符合这个主题的基调。节奏略拖沓，但整体可看度高，其中也包含了一些用心的设计，包括致敬张国荣、致敬《蓝宇》，两位父亲不愿面对又内敛的父爱。
像是快进看了一部爽文美剧 落差大约是意式特浓到冰美式吧 Irons & Driver's Suit Look
还不错啊，这就是香港的青春片啊，不过整片看下来很容易猜想是导演或编剧亲身经历，很奇妙，很感动。
徒劳无功 怎么hk拍《叔叔》就可以婚后再约 拍这种就纯纯恋爱 女校中学都是犯错 最后还是要嫁人 女同也可以骗婚！也骗姬！
-为什么要找我当伴娘？-为什么你要答应？-因为我不想失去你这个朋友。-因为···其实我只有你一个朋友。—— ★★★☆ —— 观影过程时不时联想到台剧《第一次遇见花香的那刻》。
