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.
今年最爱的电影之一，好治愈。你是如此温暖，即便得不到你所爱之人，也不妨碍你闪耀。看得时候就觉得写这个剧本的人，一定跟里面的男主一样，是个超温柔的人。看完才发现，导演编剧竟然就是男主演员。这小子真帅！ps.达妹真是好魅，还是影片的监制和出品。
淡淡的惆怅，每个人都很可爱，女主酒后笑嘻嘻含情脉脉的眼神，谁能受得了
Warm,also Fashionable
其实就是恰如其分的成长过程中的一段小插曲而已，欧洲的电影其实拍了很多了，我不知道为什么在美国却拿到了观众奖，是最近美国的商业片盛行的原因吗？反正，男生的这种丝滑与女生的这种无奈，恰恰是我们所经历的，可是，爱就应该在一起啊，又何忌年龄、家世和选择。因为考虑的那些，其实就是不爱了。
《男人》直接或暗示的展现了男权社会中女性生存的状态。影片高潮部分中，导演亚力克斯·嘉兰用超现实的手法展现了男人怀孕生产的场景，惊悚的同时又使人深思。
建议喝醉了再看，不然电影里太多鸡汤喝得太腻，而且不停的蹦迪戏搭配酒精效果更佳。总体还ok，达妹太迷人，库珀像是新来的SNL演员。
是圣丹斯的味道，也有点惊讶于导演的才华。影片开头就设置了一个动情场景，母亲拥住12岁的儿子不无伤心地说：My baby is heartbroken. 预示着这个故事是关于10年后的又一次心碎。Andrew因善良开朗的性格意外成为镇上成年礼party的发起人，同时也经历着自己社会和情感意义上的成年礼。这个人物的性格太讨人喜欢了，善良细心，彬彬有礼。相对于大多数人，他已经知道多得多“我是谁”的答案了。剧本台词写得太好，家庭人物关系极度舒适，一些人生转折阶段难以定义难以表达的情感思绪不知不觉流露。谈话表白的场景都那么打动人心。Dakota也极其适合这个角色，愿意接下新人导演的片子实属respect .
简单、话痨而清新。男主角的人物设定有趣而治愈，早熟真的是一种痛，它让人总在自以为足够成熟的年纪里收获过多的失去感。生活没有太复杂，用力去爱，用心去待人，如果每个人都能像片子里的各个角色一样思考和生活，这个世界该会多么美好啊！
Death is sweetest homeland for MEN.
没错，我是你的灵魂伴侣，但他也是，还有可能另外一千二百个存在于这个地球上。
你们真的错怪男主角了，虽然他看起来长得有点着急（非贬义），但人家是如假包换的97年生人，演个毕业大学生没啥问题吧，而且多可爱啊。整个片子很温柔很舒服，爱而不得的惆怅，对于这个阶段的年轻人，也是成长必经的阵痛了。Love heals, and love hurts too.有时候人们过于看重一段感情里的那个可能性，却往往忽视了这背后的必然性。但不管怎样，those memories exist.另外，我好像还是头一次get到了达妹的美。不过这片子的剪辑有点紧，不知道是不是跟舞蹈这个元素有关系，感觉跟其他同题材的片子还挺不一样的。
3.5 淡淡化开的绿豆冰 水渍是summer love的印迹
3.5分向上取整，这么一部“小”电影因为人物足够有层次，显得内容十分丰富，探讨的情感联系在主流电影中也几乎是完全看不到的，美国年轻观众里许多人都表示强烈共鸣，看来late millenial迷茫宅家的人的确比前几代要多多了。
对话流电影，自导自演的宝藏导演，直白的讲了一个要爱自己的故事，把时间、金钱、精力、感情都花在自己身上，年轻迷茫的时候，适当的have some fun也无伤大雅，谁能一下子就认清自己呢，其中讲感情的地方又占据绝大多篇幅，如果像这样约好了再也不见面，那一定曾经是相当在乎的人吧。
7 温情自然舒服的类型 大家在这里在这一刻相遇了 短暂地相爱了一下 最后又回到各自的轨迹中 达妹举手投足都是风情 卷毛弟弟太可爱了吧
首先 我真的好喜欢Dakota Johnson
如片名一般，恰恰丝滑，故事本身并无新意但展现出来的又丝滑又好看。另外，谁遇到达科塔温柔的聊天不会沦陷呢。
剧情很无聊。达科塔约翰逊永远在扮演这类角色—有某种病症的、散发神秘魅力的有钱人的女友/未婚妻等。男主看着不太直。
看不下去，男主自导自演，但是演技很差，看着尴尬；女主角美是美，但就一直是《五十度灰》演完赶场的状态，实时放电，真的不适合一个独自带自闭症娃的困难母亲的形象。剧情和台词也emmm
每次都只差一步，也多亏这差一步，处处透着温情。
