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.
奥系观影⑨：一个不及格的剧本，对神婆的刻画仅仅留于表面，流水账一般讲完了故事，让女主每一步心路历程的转变都显得捉摸不透。劳模姐用尽心力把电影勉强拉到了及格线，片子是个烂片，但值得一个奥斯卡影后。结尾唱歌的moment够够的。
It’s not over until it’s over.
平平无奇的一部“偷窥”惊悚片。女主的第六感有人在跟踪她，其他人都不信，女主和男友因此产生矛盾，就在女主决定远走之际，坏人抓住了她，最后女主坚强反杀。过于套路了，没啥惊喜与看点。我想的是，如何把这个故事编得更有意思。比如，男主才是那个坏人，每天假装去工作，其实是悄悄跟踪女主，女主越害怕，他越开心，满足一种心理扭曲的需求。或者，女主精分，她的另一个人格在跟踪她自己，最后她自己杀了自己。
剧情本身没有什么特别的点，不过拍得蛮流畅的。记得要重视自己的不适感，当逃则逃。（及格分
一个真真实实的大女主戏（可怜的加菲，演技被压的死死的），虽然感觉矫揉造作，但劳模确实展现出了tammy faye那种引人跟随的风采，但对于内心挖掘的缺失，演的再好，也无法弥补这个空洞，所以她的表演还是欠缺
Tammy Faye精准捕捉了camp的精华 如果有christian drag这一category she‘s the queen then
这个电影除了让劳模姐封后就没其他作用了，故事和情绪都是断裂的，这个很像19年的朱迪，但是完全没有那个传达地有效。啊，还是恭喜劳模啊，好喜欢她～
一个仿佛糅合了去年《偷窥者》和《门锁》要素的故事，整体行进得有些按部就班。最先是烘托女主角在陌生国度的种种处境，对语言的不熟悉、不被相信的遭遇诉说以及失踪的邻居和再次引起怀疑的心；接着是扑空和“狼来了”的转折，末尾则指向必须解决的痛快。尽管所有的过程都几乎能想象，但透过公寓内外、街角前后的空间展示或是借由与伴侣相处的生活状态从而烘托的无助还是足够行之有效；它没有给予更复杂、更大的展示，但却做好了自己想要完成的事。
相比《偷窥者》，更现实更冷峻，紧张气氛营造的不错，结尾凌厉非常，很加分。
又一部奥斯卡流水账人物传记片，每一场戏都直白浅薄的要死，然后中间插播还原几个名场面，别的部分一带而过。和人讲一讲就上电视了，吃个饭就开自己电视台了，儿戏到要死。洗白负面人物也算这种流水账传记片的传统艺能了，冠冕堂皇地说要为别人正名，然后把主角夫妇骗钱的负面部份有多省略就多省略，还把女主塑造成一个无辜地不得了的形象。但不管她有多无辜，她也是帮凶啊，自己天天过奢侈的生活嗑药然后还一点都不怀疑丈夫? 本可以深挖资本主义蚕食利用信仰来赚钱的故事，偏要用来洗白主角来提供一些对电影毫无帮助的oscar clip。这种电影毫无存在的意义
不了解这对夫妻原型，看得有点乏味，以为是一部传教片，似乎又不是，看片中间睡着几次，感觉流水账一样没有重点。
童年的一次表演变成歇斯底里的信仰，她人格分裂，自欺欺人，但完全自恰。可只要我们笃信着一些价值，都能在她这里看见自己。
感谢电影总能让我们看到不一样的人不一样的人生。这近乎于传销洗脑般的“信仰”也从侧面说明了人的崇拜可以多么盲目。tammy和jim由信仰相识相爱，却又因利益和虚荣走向深渊，电影还原度很高，通篇顺畅，观影体验极佳！
挺感慨的，人真复杂。虚荣浮华和朴素的爱人之心不冲突，她把一个脆弱敏感又张扬个性的角色演活了。加菲拖后腿，和查斯坦的游刃有余比起来明显不足。剧情两星，为劳模姐的表演加一星。
当你们都在嘲笑我的妆容的时候，我只想的是让上帝祝福你们。
Tammy Faye从小渴望爱，于是长大了就想给予全世界爱，内心真得非常强大，并且思想很包容，作为基督徒还公开支持LGBTQ人群。而人生败笔就在于她那个巧言令色的丈夫，一直渴望财富所以最后落得锒铛入狱。但剧本松散，只让人看到纸醉金迷的表现。最后的舞台独唱直接穿越到Judy，一样给人非常强烈的触动。劳模姐演得确实好，牺牲很大，神情语气都高度还原。
孤独氛围的心理惊悚片，类型元素一个不少，最后的反转也很老套。女主在陌生城市，语言不通，没有亲友的环境中，一切都在孤独中变的惊悚。欧洲小国似乎成了欧美大国营造惊悚恐怖的圣地。
这种人算是骗子的最高境界了，把自己都骗了，都不觉得自己是个骗子。
劳模姐和加菲表演都很不错，豆瓣评分6.5，显然偏低。
平庸的传记片，与近些年来的名人传记片一样，演员的表演成了唯一的亮点，剧情稀碎，重点模糊。影片意图讲述主人公在信仰的成长和利益的冲突面前所经历的起伏人生，但她对传教的独到心得、对信仰的复杂态度却没有呈现出来，而是本末倒置地过多展示她失败的婚姻，缺少打动人心的点。但劳模姐毁容式的表演的确值得一尊奥斯卡。
