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.
把一个个看似无关的狐仙传说串联成一个悲剧的真相。
“孩子的话，谁信？” “瞎子说的话，谁信？”
仍旧表现人体器官极端扭曲的物化形式，剖析提炼性爱高潮中切入的感官体验。不过，这次加了不少有助观众理解诠释的对话戏码，弦外之音向大众宣讲自己从影以来超前轶后的创作理念、特立独行的私人美学及挑战底限的影像冲击。开膛破肚、自我解析，可视作柯能堡献给影坛的退休纪念。片中观摩手术的信徒对应片外观赏本片的影迷，能接受的依然能收获共鸣启发，接受无能的也只看到猎奇恶心。
名字很拉胯，完全还原这部影片的亮点。拍摄很有创意，除了罗生门的感觉，还有点像《十二公民》，每个人眼里都有一种“真相”，但到底真相是什么？
比上映那些垃圾强太多了 一环接一环 在这个鬼都不能拍的时代 编剧可以了
线索扎得不够紧 中后段就散乱了 还有精致的现代妆容之类的眼下通病 村里说「来来来 我告诉你啊 这事儿啊是这么回事儿」的片段从台词到表演都刺耳刺眼地业余 好在用作消磨时间还挺不错
除了“根本没有狐仙”的设定有意思以外什么都不行，每个情节都设计得用力过猛，极不自然，演员也是一样。
善恶终有报，人心换人心。国产片能拍成这样罗生门还是不错了。
没那么好但也不算太差。跟导演上一部风格接近，叙事结构也类似，本以为结尾有点黑楼孤魂的味道，但彩蛋又给了一个新的角度。
很个人化的故事和场调，反而极简冷峻，全程高语境也是我的菜。人类的进化与对自身改变的理解和探索，人类的观念分歧，主角的想法变化，都很深刻，耐嚼。可能改成夸张酷炫再带点儿搞笑的爆米花式，评分就会高一些吧……
网大可以拍到这种程度真的很难得，不露肉，不瞎搞笑，剧情层层叠进，除了结尾复仇那一段太简单其他的很对得起网大了。希望以后的网大也能如此，向奈飞看齐，即使让我花钱我也认。现在目中无人出来，等看口碑
挺好的，模仿罗生门的结构，多视角叙事，有其结尾彩蛋，剧本确实用心了。看到好多人说电影劣质感，抱歉我真没觉得，我感觉灯光舞美道具美术创造的氛围感足够了，很明显八九十年代老港片美术风格的特征，这是一套视觉风格而不是劣质，镜头语言也不是简单的正反打大特写，有一幕从篝火延伸的视角用的很妙。一部网大做成这样很不错了，奇树有鱼可以的。
文艺话语一段接着一段，看得一愣一愣的，奇观嗷，身体奇观，就是切得太痛了，而且还恶心
一种奇观。被高概念包裹噱头的是对人本身的探讨，或是”超人/非人“与人本身的区别何在。器官被撕扯成为艺术的展现，是对人本身的自反。
7/10 6/24/22二刷，回忆起在影院观看小K表演时的反感，急促呼吸➕咬嘴唇➕小声说话，真的受不了，明明我挺喜欢Spencer，但这部里，毫无新意又disturbing
各种情节推进和反转都很自然
有理由相信柯南伯格的脑回路里也有纹身，不然怎么解释老人家快80岁还能信手拈来地玩body horror？可惜我只看到了sex，没有看到vice，导演对身体和仪器的热衷远远超过对情节的铺陈，因此电影只剩下了一场接一场的手术表演。尽管全体主创对前现代的世界观是坚定的，但一种坐在早餐椅上的如鲠在喉的观感挥之不去。另外，对小K那种气若游丝式的演技真的无福消受。
“孩子的话，谁信？” “瞎子说的话，谁信？”
打着“狐仙”的旗帜，以《罗生门》的方式来讲故事，将人性的阴暗面说出，谁说内核都是老一套，但故事逻辑通顺，情节也不拖沓，因为预算的缘故，细节上还是差强人意了些，
升米恩斗米仇，连土匪都不愿意打劫的人家，却被自己一直救济的村民害了全家。看到后面真希望有狐仙杀光全村，可惜并没有，哎……
