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.
可能我已经没法感受这么细腻了，但如果这么敏感的话，会发现更多让人出戏的地方，最后就是不知道该保持多少距离。
男主是个绝对的暖男，展开了类似《廊桥遗梦》式的爱情，只不过人家是已婚，而在这是已订婚，并且因为经济条件，年龄等现实原因，两个人知道这份感情无法转换成婚姻，所以两个人也没有走远，而是点到为止。不过男主暖的温度忒高，让我有种不现实的感觉，现在去哪找这种男孩啊，梦幻中？我给3星6.3分，删掉！
对话流电影，自导自演的宝藏导演，直白的讲了一个要爱自己的故事，把时间、金钱、精力、感情都花在自己身上，年轻迷茫的时候，适当的have some fun也无伤大雅，谁能一下子就认清自己呢，其中讲感情的地方又占据绝大多篇幅，如果像这样约好了再也不见面，那一定曾经是相当在乎的人吧。
一位年轻男孩自导自演的第二部作品。
成年人在两性中压抑自己的情绪，小孩子在初恋中表达自己的情绪。
虽已成年，但依然是个孩子。学会了接受妥协和遗憾才真正的步入了成年人的世界。
看到有人解讀片中男性形態之一的穢語 又看到評論區有男性大概感到被冒犯而對電影本身投擲各種空洞難聽的髒話 還蠻有趣的
太尼玛治愈了，summer sadness治愈神片。探讨各种心理疾病、成长烦恼。没有极端细致的观察和生活体验的人是写不出这种剧的ps：达妹好美
平平淡淡流进心里。真好啊，人生；真好啊，经历。
没错，我是你的灵魂伴侣，但他也是，还有可能另外一千二百个存在于这个地球上。
还可以，达妹是真的蛮有魅力的，但是这个男主很难让人相信是97年的😅
三星半 被97年自导自演的男主帅到了 不得不说挺有才的 但故事稍显平淡了一点点 虽然其实也不需要什么大的高潮 但还是太平淡了 最让人心疼的是他们最后一次在车里见面 她和他都知道以后可能见不到了 我直接代入进去了 这种心情在一个下雨天该怎么缓解 想想都难受 不过不得不说 没想到生了孩子的少妇 也挺迷人的
好像《文科恋曲》，年轻男性通过爱上一个“特别的”女性来获得成长的cliche。可能男的看来会觉得舒服，我反正看来只觉得精致而无聊，唯一好的是片名。
好矫情好自恋好无聊好单薄好幼稚 Domino的角色台词都像是teenager意淫出来的年上形象 毫无层次 真的辱成熟女性了 再加上达妹的表演每一秒都在疯狂传达我好美好惨…结果就是很油
真的很细腻丝滑啊这个电影，只是部分场景真的很像MV…大学刚毕业的男生和十几岁孩子的妈妈，本来像是活在两个世界的人，他们短暂地碰撞又永远地分开，两个灵魂只能跳一段恰恰，却不能真实地生活在一起。挺好的电影
确实是很smooth的一部片，但也确实是没搞明白想表达什么。喜欢片里的妈妈，好像是那种典型的美国妈妈。以及，全世界的毕业生都面临就业困难这件事哦（至今才知道，男主就是导演
不免想到我大学快毕业时的状态，超喜欢Broken English，跟这片形成对照，都是隔靴搔痒的小清新，人到中年的我已经无法relate，留下的只有中年人生一片荒凉的心酸跟无奈。（Dakota整个人软绵绵的，好美腻！）
一个观察不一定对，只有片子有句类似“Growing up is hard”这样抚慰又煽情的废话，就总能戳中不少人心窝子哈！最好笑的一句台词是那个discount Bradley Cooper，看来男主对自己导+演水平定位还蛮准的。还要等多久好看到Dakota能胜任（大）女主的片子？
看不懂 不是一个环境 看完才知道这是自导自编自演 本来这种片我都不会多看一眼的
没有过分繁杂的因素干扰，全程投入在这段短暂交集的感情萌动的故事中。心理年龄还未成熟的大学毕业生对成熟已育受过情伤的女性的悸动，亦是对于真正长大独立的向往，故而在这段经历中，他收获的是比爱情更可贵的东西，是回忆，是成长。
