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.
歌很好听 演员也喜欢 但是作为电影看完后有些五味杂陈 可能还是更适合音乐剧的表达形式吧
先标记看过电影，后面再看音乐剧
就你以为这个音乐剧这么好那电影再烂也不会太烂 但是…………
高中喜欢的女生最喜欢的音乐剧。之前本想搜索来看，奈何画质和音质都达不到我的最低观影需求，无意间发现有电影版，惊喜之下迅速下载来看。故事非常有趣，奈何音乐部分不妙。电影缺少了舞台原本的浪漫以及歌唱的合理性，如果大手笔直接做成歌舞片会更好，抑或是直接快刀斩乱麻直接摒除所有歌唱部分，最终影片还是没能呈现出期望中的样子。影片围绕着“失语”展开，一直到主角“拾语”结束，是非常工整的剧情片，可惜的是男主扮相太像变态，使得内心在整个观影过程十分矛盾。
问题很多，做为一部音乐剧电影，它显然是不合格的，大部分演员的唱段都很糟糕（歌曲本身的内容我是认可的，但是不知道怎么回事唱的都不太好）。导演对于音乐歌舞画面的整体把握也很差
呜呜呜呜，我以为它能在音乐剧的基础上，通过影视化手段将故事整合与创新。但没想到只是简单的场景再现，直接来了个粘贴复制，我的埃文汉森啊…哭了
虽然影视化的效果有点可惜，不过也仍是一个值得大小朋友关注的好故事
看完又是发自内心地微笑，最近一直特别容易被浅浅感动。观影过程中一直被谎言困扰心神，后来思索着也许是我太胆小了，倒也挺好笑。
沿用舞台原版的男主到电影当中，对这个角色确实是驾轻就熟。作为歌舞片，里面的几个唱段是相当好听，不过观众还是当普通剧情片在看本片，期间影厅里有人喊“stop singing! ”。确实够催泪，尤其结尾处的三连催泪弹，到后来我也没扛住流泪了。作为一个社恐的人看本片，得到的启示原来是谎言可以拯救社恐……
虽然改编并不成功，但还是毫无意外地被某首歌戳中。
立意很好，歌都好好听！中间男主角发言的视频被转发，好多抑郁症被治愈转发点赞那一段太燃了，但谎言得到的越多最终戳破就越痛… 结尾平淡但真实，继续hold on and keep going
请 停 止 音 乐 剧 改 编 上 大 屏 幕 ！ 想 上 大 屏 幕 赚 钱 就 放 官 摄 ！
虽说是个歌舞剧吧，但是你动不动就尴尬的唱歌让人觉得很傻逼
You are not alone. You will be found.主题是好的，但是每次音乐想起，我就想跳过…舞台剧做成电影，也没必要照搬啊
虽然久闻音乐剧大名，但一直没看…所以就整体剧本上来说，第一次看我还是很喜欢的，一方面毕竟横扫托尼底子很好，另外主要是共鸣点太多了…剧本结构以及歌曲本身的内容对我来说非常有说服力，可能是今年新片中最能牵动我私人情感的一部
1.降低预期后观感还行，毕竟珠玉在前，小本DEH唯一真神不接受其他人演。
第一次知道ben platt，说实话我看不出他三十岁，少年感还是在的
改编得不算成功，优点是让看音乐剧时很多对歌词画面的想象有了具象化的补充。
歌曲插入很违和，情绪渲染、人物塑造都不如舞台剧
这还是音乐剧感情分，白期待了。
