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.
这绝对是洪尚秀最好的三部电影之一。金敏喜演技爆棚，那种表演的层次感令人赞叹加感叹。我就再感叹一句：她的笑容是如此的单纯
对于易尴尬体质是一种考验，但不得不说是特别的观影体验。
朱迪科默真的是个好演员 完全被她带入情境当中
一个疫情大爆发，并且现在还是捉襟见肘的国家拍的抗疫电影，让部分zg键盘感动得不行。还反过来嘲笑《zg医生》，我笑了
结结实实的给看哭了。WE need to see this film right now! and It's 2022.
Jodie演得颇自然真实。当你又老又病，就是逐渐被社会淘汰的时候，无论你过去有什么丰功伟绩或只是平凡人一个。社会反映的往往就是最现实的，何况大家要面对的是非一般病毒……尽量自救好过等援助。
而在现实中，虽新冠病毒感染病例持续上升，但大英帝国自7.19后已正式解除了所有疫情期间的防疫限制措施——
Everyone is nothing more than a name or a number on the quarantine list, on the vaccine shot roster, on the survivor or death roll. Expect nothing of a public system or a government whatsoever. A good person helps and treats you like a person, that's all.
怎么说呢，像芳芳这种人就应该直接定居国外吧。
1. 疫情所造成的创伤将伴随我们这一代人。
等疫情结束，差不多就是夏天了。
【7.5+】看似视角很小，其实什么都拍了。资源的短缺、leader的不作为、重症的惨状、孤立无援的绝望，一个长镜头就全部串起。各种先锋恐怖片技法轮番上阵，营造出一个与世隔绝、黑暗狭窄、使人窒息的看护病院，而病毒就像恶灵一样逐步在每个病房间蔓延。不需要你主动去共情，它就已经令你想逃离。后半段的逃跑情节，直接把私人情感与集体意志对立起来，让人惊觉在绝对的执行力面前，哪怕只救一个人也是痴心妄想，无数绝望的积累才让最后的警车内穿墙向观众喊话令人信服，天灾一直是人祸的替罪羊。目前看到过的最好的疫情电影。
之前給盆友說：好煩明天要去公司開會，被吐槽真是‘後疫情時代’了，因為在宅辦公已經快2年⋯踢皮球這事哪國都有啊⋯總覺得大事件更應該從‘小人物’身上去著眼，比如xx晴先生的「文x受難⋯850人紀錄」，隨便一個故事就能令我覺得善良限制了我的想像。（只能說到這了（x 一星➕給我的戀愛少女jodie 2021.12.27 in.Tokyo

但我越发明白，不只疫情在消耗这个世界，你也无法知晓是否能见到明天的太阳
就冲最后导演在摄像机背后和金敏喜真实互动那一段，值了。那么简单的对话却无比动人，有摄人心魄之感。
2020年春节后的居家办公时期，晚上在空荡荡的小区马路上跑步，感觉每一次深沉有力的呼吸都是上天的赐福。在英国率先实现群体免疫，摘下口罩回归正常生活的时刻，才有心情回顾这个国家曾经经历的绝望。对疫源地人民来说，这是一种奢望。朱迪科默妹子，没想到一口利物浦英语如此流利，超级奇怪的口音。
整体其实比较平庸，但是题材好评，这是目前为止新冠题材拍得最好的一部了
我其实还蛮钝感的，看到前面我想啊奥兹海默故事，听到车上讲covid的广播也没意识到，直到有人被送过来才发现原来是拍covid背景下的healthcare center. 虽然剧本的情绪走向非常模板化，但是好的演技确实有一些说服力。
最后的金敏喜美得发颤。看着她手里拿着野花，唱着歌，无邪地笑着，全片都没有背景音乐，这时恰到好处地响起，突然热泪盈眶。
