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.
好喜欢这个故事，喜欢这种“正常国度的理想状态”，家族史和血脉的延续有自生的力量，庄严但不哭天抢地；亲密关系建立在自尊与互相尊重的基础上，家庭是有爱的；每个人都独立，可亲，最重要的是，他们相信历史不会沉默，这种否定性的判断可以成为进步性的力量，去掀起每一寸浸血的土地。生者是骸骨，我们的儿女就是我们，历史从来不是静静向前，所有今天的沉默都是明天的先声。
3.5/历史与母亲两条线有点割裂了，喜欢潘的表演，阿莫多瓦的配色总是那么强烈，喜欢。
想要孩子的女人借精生子，不愿承担责任的男人随意离席，两个母亲互助互爱扶养双方的孩子，所有人都迎来自由生命的大和谐，哇阿莫多瓦带来了多美好的女权社会样本。对照《关于我母亲的一切》看更有意思
又见人傻钱多大数据。赶在高司令变成大亩灵之前，看一下这个Netflix大数据电影，没有故事，只有动作戏，动作场面真的是烧了钱的，拿来打发时间还不错，比他家那些大数据烂片强一丢丢。导演：别骂了，兄弟们就是来挣点快钱。
总能在阿莫多瓦的电影中看到一种真正的解放～历史与现实的共通之处在于男性位置的缺失，不同之处却是女性由被动到主动成为主体的进步～
從情節肥皂劇到歷史轉型正義，從平行母親的生活情節拉到歷史對生活的影響，真的沒想到可以這樣拉在一起，但在觀影當下真的會讓我主動拉在一起，而當我主動聯想在一起的時候，下一幕馬上就是Janis對Ana坦白的時刻，那個人類的共通性真的被阿莫多瓦抓住。
强行一个狗血的故事，硬要配上“发掘真相，发现历史”的大背景，实在不必要。以及情感线里女主这个人设蛮讨厌的，想起一些不太好的回忆。
虽然本身缝合了太多东西但难以改变核心就是想拍成无脑剧情不重要的《John Wick》，但是看到所有人都 out of nowhere 见到小女孩就挪不动腿的万年老梗真的忍不住翻白眼。最重要的是应该是唯一卖点的枪战肉搏各种动作戏真的太拉跨了。Ryan Gosling 的颜我本来就 get 不了，现在脸有点发福全程像个薯蛋头先生。
看似不关联的全都是生活的关联，所有的未来都与所有的过去有关。
不愧是妇联美队班底，虽然整体极其俗套，但每个俗套的段落质量都非常在线。介于《007》和《谍影重重》之间的高仿货，角色和故事是基于《谍影重重》，夸张的剧情和阵仗偏向007。遗憾的是，没有前者的现实感和思考，离谱的剧情也没有后者的品质和调性。在窠臼和不落窠臼之间反复横跳，最后还是疯狂拥抱窠臼。反派太low，幼稚话多，拉低了整体档次。有几句台词还是让人印象深刻的，讽刺并试图跳出烂俗的套路：“今天只不过是另一个星期四”“击中一个人这么难么？”“没人会扔上膛的枪”……
阿莫多瓦最新影片，Cruz身上所具有的西班牙风情的野性之美太吸引人了，恭喜提名奥斯卡女主。还是那个很会拍奇情影片的阿莫多瓦，对准女性之间具有的互助，信手拈来处理得当的极具戏剧性的故事情节，生活中处处充满狗血，但在面对这样的历史悲痛事件中这一切都算不了什么，还有更需要值得我们去铭记的事情。怪不得西班牙没有送这部影片到戛纳
演员、服装、建筑、装饰都很美，很舒服的电影
20220308三八节特别观看，感觉是两个完全不相关的主题生拼硬凑出来的，所要讲的主题也是模糊不清，不明白为什么要这么设置，内容太割裂了。不过对两位母亲的刻画塑造上还是非常不错的，克鲁兹的表演也值得提名最佳女主。
跟海鲜饭似的大杂烩…真的没意思。有些情节很讨厌。
将过去和现在元素强凑其实不怎么样，但说实话单线的悬念还是很不错的
与之前作品相比多一份厚重
想要孩子的女人借精生子，不愿承担责任的男人随意离席，两个母亲互助互爱扶养双方的孩子，所有人都迎来自由生命的大和谐，哇阿莫多瓦带来了多美好的女权社会样本。对照《关于我母亲的一切》看更有意思
一下子被海报吸引才走进电影院。剧情挺老套的了，阿莫多瓦最爱的狗血家庭伦理剧，基本都猜得出来大致走向，两条线割裂感很重，没有形成互文
前面不错，后面故事焦点转移以后，不太能共情上
