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.
电影以上层杀手之死与警笛结尾，“我会去找你”是最后的告白。正义未被伸张，冤魂未得到安息，也正有人遭到迫害，压抑、没有希望、没有出路……
不同视角的人类观察和体验记，看似诡异离奇的“女巫”却作为视角的载体有其客观性。有趣的是当你为了一个人all in 的时候你变得越来越像人，同时也不得不表露你的本性。
这个前面看的时候虽然没有get到颜值，但是越看越好看，剧情好。而且我超喜欢他两的眼神，题材也好。
呃。过度文艺了卧槽。《羊崽》女主选片子的眼光咋都这么………奇特
emmm，破案过程十分玩笑，全靠听墙角，所有线索都是别人聊的时候不小心被男主听到，跟车那段也是，他那是在跟踪吗？？？明目张胆的跟着生怕别人发现不了…全程迷惑，到最后也不知道要讲的啥，另外，同性恋题材一定要有同妻吗…出轨之后道歉就能解决问题吗？
是好看的欸 看在两人颜值的份上给满星 其实核心案件一直没太看明白 太散了 男主看着不高 比例真不错 妥妥的大长腿
年度最佳预定。小女巫一路诗化呢喃，马力克式镜头语言和配乐结合得恰到好处，温柔又残酷。主角的不语和残暴直给的故事设定不由想到金基德。西方版《画皮》进阶版，不仅幻化人形，男女老少、猪狗狼鹰，“我”变成世间万物，维度广度探索的更大了。这部电影最难能可贵的，是虽以父（男）权、女性主义为主引，但已然超越，甚至超越了爱，而归于对被怆害的命运的态度。老女巫被小女巫杀死前流着泪的一问：“为什么你可以轻易做到？”万物自有其含义，这世界令人刺痛、让人恶心，然而“我”曾在草地上尽情玩耍，与“同类”嬉笑欢闹，沐浴阳光下，同河流、同不同的河流、同内心的河流流淌在一起，“我”不愿让它再干涸。为什么“我”就可以做到？“然而…然而…”也许是因为虽随命运指引，还是“选择”去化身万物，更因为“幸运”，终成为自己，而非其他万物。
能拍到这样也算不错了，毕竟是80年代的视角。前半段80分，后面30分钟60分！
《生命之树》之女巫篇！美丽的山村自然+古朴的风土农作+诗意的细语呢喃=矫揉造作的电影美学。哪怕我从婴儿时期就被仍在山洞里面，也不妨碍我日后成为一个忧郁的哲学家。
自由一定是建立在黑暗历史的尸体上建立的，viva la vida
我实在是啃不动文艺类的片子，一直强撑等到劳米拉佩斯，后面就被闷睡着了

就是说，我没有看懂……
意外的不错。选角加分，灯光构图都挺好的，床戏也是非常艺术的表现，而且挺美的。
一定有两个男生时时刻刻都在一起
质感太棒了。剧本扎实，节奏稳当，男主男二都养眼。不管你是看剧情还是嗑CP，想要的都能找得到
★★★★ 波兰电影，带有同性恋元素，再加上悬疑元素，电影还是不错，节奏也好，就是BOSS的保镖太敷衍了，唉。
“人不能对一切感到恐惧，尤其是为了自由。”
humanity in the pov of witches 最喜欢她感受生活的部分探索玩乐体验 活久了感觉每一天都一成不变 these scenes remind me what a joy it is to be alive and things i can do different ways to be 另noomi能打
在与世隔绝的山野深处，从超自然的恐怖警言里谱写诗意的篇章。我形塑我自己，身体成为最不重要的介质，如同语言不再依靠声带的震动，意志在生命间流淌，更超脱出新的价值，从好奇、救赎到普世的爱。（Félix一如既往地🉑️
