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.
不是很好笑，但是一些科幻设定和想法还是蛮新颖的。
典型的日影，风景真的蛮美的，特别是航拍大海的几个镜头，节奏很慢，剧情也很无聊，但对明亮色调的画面毫无抵抗力。
特别喜欢这种画面四平八稳的克制，在各方势力间拉扯的唯一目击证人，深陷而无法自拔，这不止发生在波兰的那时，也可能发生在现在的身边。
太lovedeathrobots第二季第一集的基础设定了 最有意思的就是那个瑞士奶酪的问题越多奶酪洞越多洞越多奶酪越小 和一如既往的好看颜色设定 还有那个可爱矮机器人和最后的换头设定
前所未有、近三个小时的波兰片居然全然不困！为了袒护当权者而制造新的冤案、真相被隐瞒、司法被扭曲，审判被操纵、新闻被控制，但作为成年人作证该说的话还是得说，尽管没什么用。极权国家和威权国家当然有差别，这就是本片和韩国电影《辩护人》的距离，人力很难改变。
一言蔽之导演编剧不行，这日影只需要看画短片就够了，三星给动画。
各种设定《辐射》即视感….内容还是AI反叛，不过里面的节目很讽刺，人类对别的动物做的一切反过来放在人身上是什么效果…
非常好看，非常有趣的法国电影，特别的幽默，特别浪漫。
漫画意识流那段我还蛮喜欢的，kiss的镜头演的有点不够走心呢
原来是《尽情游戏》和《天使爱美丽》的导演，难怪影片质量还算在线，可能因为剧本的问题，很多剧情逻辑一直在垮掉的边缘反复试探
波兰的孙志刚案，奶一个最佳剧本和奥提。大量的室内对话戏，分镜看得出导演极其学院派的功底，近三个小时的长度，没有任何可以指摘的地方——但这也是这类题材作品的遗憾之处：为了准确反映一段民族历史伤痕，必须要克制稳妥，因此也不容再有发挥创造力的空间，事件本身决定了电影全部的深度。
很棒的电影。想不到是波兰拍得。我们中国什么时候也能拍出这样的电影
但除此之外一切都很棒，要是能在电影院观赏就好了
不错的喜剧片呀，脑洞大，但是预计这样的未来生活也不远了，感觉法国电影很多这种群像闹剧，好精彩也有探索感，稀饭，
游乐园版赛博朋克 无厘头式dystopia
动画加电影的表现形式太惊人了，最后一段令人赞叹。
画风蛮喜欢的，多出来一星给新冠好吧哈哈哈哈哈真的笑死了，尤利西斯要抓他们上法庭的时候，还以为会有第二部呢
ai也突然莫名想要博取人类关注
政治宣传作品，跟现在波兰现在偷俄罗斯天然气一样，西方婊子又当又立
挺荒诞的。（有一说一真的没有3.5这个选项吗？每次三分少了四分多了很闹心！）
