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.
非常努力地分次看到1:30,感觉后面肯定有包袱，但这部电影作为艺术品和工业品，显然都还差很大一点意思。
立意还是不错的，至少能引起女性的共鸣。
震撼捂住耳朵的人。敢拍这样的电影，是需要整个社会的勇气，摸着石头过河的勇气。
剧情节奏很好，没有歌舞表演的印度电影越来越合我的胃口，影片立意很好，反映社会问题，印度电影在女性题材上真的做了很多。另外，说跟误杀像的，我真的黑人问号，这部片子误杀了谁了？
“官方统计，在印度每16分钟，就有一名女性被强奸”，立意🐮，尤其对于魔幻现实主义的阿三来说，但这个套子实在是太老了，谁是弱势群体，谁有诉求就把谁套进去，长此以往，大众会永远吃这一套？，还是说如此公式化的偷懒最终会导致“电影中提出的问题只能在电影里得到解决”，在现实中再激不起一丝回响?🤔
“情绪是一种资产，你从年纪增长里学会它“。想说的太多，又发现无话可说，因为该说的都被说过了，现状依旧让人无力。看到最后，我真的理解了她的悲伤。
强奸入死刑的话会使被强奸的女性陷入极其危险的境地
它更像一部科幻片，女性主义科幻片，身为女性，我非常能理解受害女性的那种玉石俱焚、要严惩罪恶的心情，可是，在一个男权主导的现实世界里，女性想让强奸犯判死刑的诉求，是一种幻想。我更希望强奸犯能得到人道去势，毕竟控制不了下半身行为而违法犯罪的，就不该称之为人，而是动物。影片的剧情设计还是过于流于表面化了，所有人的表现都过于简单，这让整部电影的惊悚削弱，反而变得有点点可笑。
很適合現在的人類觀看 不應該把自己社交媒體化
刚开始看这部电影的感觉是，印度大人小孩儿都开始说流利的英文作为沟通语言，这么国际化了？配乐很印度！剧情有些过于艺术夸张了。
从最后打出那三行字幕，这部电影就已经完成了意义。受害者的痛苦，并不只值得一场烛光游行，吹哨人的勇敢，并不该通过以暴制暴才能被看见。「如果天塌下来正义才能伸张，那就塌吧」。
三星半，前半段很常规，后面剧情的反转让我揪心和痛心，没有歌舞的印度片着实沉重了很多

最近围绕女性的电影，越来越多，什么时候不再刻意强调也就取得了成果。
看过之后感觉印度🇮🇳电影🎦也是和韩国🇰🇷电影🎦一样🈶了质的改变更大关注社会题材而不只是盛产负责载歌载舞……二个小时一气呵成的精彩好看过瘾。
竟然能拍出这种电影，真的不要小看印度了，印度不只是阿三了，这个电影证明了印度在觉醒
“那个前程似锦的女孩。人的生命不能只换来一场烛光游行。”真的是非得把人逼得如此不可吗？立意很棒，印度女性的意识越来越强，印度电影也开始在寻找意义，大家都在自我进步，国内某些娱乐至死又无聊的脑残片电影人可以来看看自我打脸了。
昔日仇人狭相逢，娜娜无奈绑幼童。总理最终修刑法，奇葩国度患无穷。
女性觉醒电影还是得看印度 越是底层越是振聋发聩 最后二十分钟实在是震撼人心 体制无用 律法无用 媒体无用 警察无用 最后还是要靠自己用罪犯的方式手刃罪恶 多么讽刺 如果一定要以此方式才能让人听到 那么用鲜血铺路也无妨
这让我想起误杀2类似的犯罪情节，如果一个社会把最普通的老百姓，最该被保护的受害者一点点逼成了罪犯，逼成了施暴者；一个生态把大家都愚化成了键盘侠和冷漠的旁观者，那么我们每一个人不仅是沉默的帮凶，更是下一个潜在的被害者和元凶。
