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.
3.3星。往好了说是密实细腻，往坏了说就是平淡沉闷，卷福饰演的哥哥是个阳刚气质的深柜，和弟媳白幼瘦阴柔的儿子形成强烈对比，整个故事阴郁压抑，看完结局也让人无法松下那一口气，整部电影看得有点累。
这是个鬼爱情，这明明是场谋杀
恐同即深柜，我悟了。暴躁农场主和娇美服务生的血腥爱情故事✔ 谢谢导演，眼神拉丝纠缠都拍出来了，好美啊。
莫名想起烧女图，都是这类剧情留白很多、情感拿捏极其细腻，剪辑风格凝练干净的剧情片，平淡生活之下暗流涌动，这部还要更压抑和内敛一些，最突出的都是摄影。本尼那种不怒自威的表情好让人害怕…跟邓斯特互相角力折磨，气氛压抑的大房子。抚摸纸花的蕊心，摩挲故人的马鞍，缱绻旧爱的汗巾，拨弄梳齿的声音，用象征性的细节一点点积累起暧昧。女主儿子抽着烟看他盘绳子，两人你一口我一口，压迫性的光线和构图，比床戏还欲。结尾是没想到的...所以就是高冷易怒的深柜其实很柔情，文弱白净的小基友内心毒辣...错付辽
摄影可谓帧帧如画，调度和镜头堪称一绝，冷静而克制，故事细思极恐，讲了一个伪装者的悲剧。表面是探讨男子汉气概，事实上还是在讲人性。
多角度的同性恋暗示，对男子气概的戏谑和拆解，无处不在的阶级观的渗透……Jane用一个同性套子恋母里子的故事，真正做到了对父权与其代理人进行了一场漫长而温柔的杀戮。
很🐂 各方面的🐂 深柜当然抵挡不了干净美丽白衬衫的美少年
看起来硬汉实则孤独的深柜牛仔、看起来柔弱实则锋利的纤细少年，将有毒的男子气概和有毒的刻板印象表现得淋漓尽致。
一直记成这片是lynne ramsay拍的了 结果发现连看完失望的感觉都很像
气质迷人，原来片名就是隐喻。初看感觉人物转折都没来由，但看完后却让人不禁探究，全程含蓄克制，Peter和Phil吸烟的一幕终于在情感上有所宣泄，吞云吐雾，暗潮汹涌。
辣手摧花／擦馬鞍／閹割牛隻幾場戲，剛好對應真實性向的隱晦展示，對一種潛在的陽剛牛仔男性形象符號的迷戀，以及自我「閹割」的儀式。摧花更預示著影片後半段對Peter 的培育，暗含心理上的居高臨下，希望對方服從。卻沒想到對方會「弒父」，可惜後面Power of dog的詮釋有點太直給了，狗的形象對照，一個是虛無的指涉，遠處的山巔與牛仔，一個是具象的實物，他身邊的狗，同時也是母親身旁的忠犬，一開場的獨白就暗含了全片的主題。
前一个小时节奏缓慢，后一个小时渐入佳境，结局细想之下寒毛直竖，后劲很大。阳刚和性取向无关，就如纤弱与善良无关；外表成为伪装的盔甲，卸下之后有温柔、有孤独、有怯懦的软肋，也有不见边际的恶犬之力。
首先，对我来说，这是一部差点因为“”同性标签就错过的电影，我不反同也不恐同，但对目前席卷全球的各种正确，导致不管什么片都要往正确上靠一靠——比如黑命贵等，很反胃。//接下来感叹导演之水准，不管别人怎么看这部片，对我来说，我感觉到了古龙的意味，对，就是古龙——不是金庸。怎么说呢，就那种真正的狠角色，往往是看上去单薄的，不起眼的，不动声色一刀毙命的。而真正脆弱的，往往是看上去很凶残的。//我从来没喜欢过本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇 ，但这部片，我觉得演得非常好。
一个耶鲁大学古典文学优等生被效忠于母亲的“狗”儿子杀害的故事。最后五分钟之前都想给4，5星，还在期待一个好结局，没想到最后你妈是这样一个主题。本以为是关于相互拯救的故事，没想到是单方面杀害。
你以为你在看“断背山”，其实你是在看“惊魂记”。善与恶，肉眼永远看不清。
绕一大圈讲了一个“守护母亲”的故事，人物关系和情节的推进缺乏着力点，难以共情。邓斯特和普莱蒙继《冰雪暴》之后又演夫妻，这对CP我锁死！🔒
Campion 的手法好细腻，确实很适合呈现隐忍的感觉（但也很容易让人失去耐心）。12年拍一部的节奏太爽了！
总体是高级的，细节上有点故弄玄虚。邓斯特和肥版戴萌冰血暴之后又演了一回夫妻，简直了。
一个耶鲁大学古典文学优等生被效忠于母亲的“狗”儿子杀害的故事。最后五分钟之前都想给4，5星，还在期待一个好结局，没想到最后你妈是这样一个主题。本以为是关于相互拯救的故事，没想到是单方面杀害。
“求你救我的灵魂脱离刀剑，救我的生命脱离犬类。”外表彪悍刻薄的大舅子，内里是个温柔容易被感动的同性恋者。外表gay里gay气喜欢做手工花朵的医学生弟弟，杀人不用刀剑，无声又无息。
