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.
8.0/10 在长达十年之久的沉寂之后，坎皮恩用这部压抑而冷酷的作品宣告了自己的回归。强大的演员阵容及导演本人对场景出色的掌控力赋予了本片极高的完成度和非常“耐看"的视觉风格，使其兼具艺术与商业双重层面的竞争力。片中的三名主要角色(少年，女主人和菲尔)在生存状态上是处于，或是曾经处于过相同的位置的，即拥有在故事所根植的上世纪美国西部的极度"媚男“的环境中时常被排挤或嘲弄的"温柔"气质。一方面，这三人面对弱势地位的态度让他们分别走向了人生的不同渡口：被同化，受辱与反抗。另一方面，这些特质的存在使得这三人相互之间更容易彼此确认，也更容易彼此误解。然而，也正是这让少年对菲尔的毒杀显得悲凉且讽刺：这是一次反抗者对被同化者的一次"误杀"。
啊哈哈哈哈哈我笑不活了，虽然全都是低级黑但是，我真太喜欢这个了，剪辑也很有意思，马克里朗斯这个演法我很服，这也应该是近些年来卡司最豪华的片，真·全熟脸，我以为制片成本一半都拿来请演员了，但后面的视觉效果着实让我惊艳一把，还有配乐和A妹的歌完爆今天我刚看完的魔法满屋啊
不喜欢这部电影。不喜欢Cumberbatch的表演。也不喜欢剧本。看样子八成是要拿奥斯卡，但依然不喜欢。
暗黑版断背山，狗血一点可以说是腹黑继子对家产的篡夺
选角神了，演员都烙入角色。不清楚原著什么调性，但简坎皮真的才情出众，至少对我来说这个故事里的每一张脸都有着不同程度的扁平，能做到这么高级全凭导演的能力。菲尔就一不讲道理的作男，角色弧度很小基本上就纯招人讨厌。有人说彼得恋母恐怕是对亲子关系有误解，我要是他我也起杀心，看着这个什么玩意儿整体污蔑欺负自己妈妈不弄死他留着过年吗？
莫名觉得整体气质贴近《呼啸山庄》，尤其是家庭内部权力关系的微妙制衡，以及人性的冷漠与自私——被恶犬撕咬灵魂的受害者同时也是恶犬本身。没有荒原凄厉的风，明晃晃的阳光更让人胆寒。
8.5/10.
好闷的片子，大致就是说深柜不要装恐同，不要封建爹味被害妄想症，不要老房子着火相信美少年倒贴自己，会死。
是有同性元素，但主线剧情并不是《断背山》那样的爱情。你看到的不是爱情，而是爱情名义下的骗局。不得不说，本尼这个角色是他本人的一个突破，以前几乎都是高智商的英国人，这次演个刻薄、混蛋的美国西部牛仔，挺像的，口音也不违和。我一直觉得演红脖子最像的就是杰西·普莱蒙，这次本尼和杰西一起表演，并没被比下去。故事讲的是哥哥见不得弟弟的新婚妻子，对她各种言语折磨。妻子的儿子为了给母亲报仇，想办法把哥哥给弄了。外来的小崽子把家里的顶梁柱杀了！比起本尼，柯蒂·斯密特-麦菲演的弱鸡小男士更让人印象深刻，先是示弱，然后假装亲近，最后扮猪吃老虎。残忍而冷血。几场欲望戏很含蓄，点到为止，还是挺美的。怀俄明和蒙大拿其实接壤，但没有断背山的蒙大拿，也没有那温柔。你以为迎接自己的是爱情的绽放，最后却迎来了鲜血的喷涌。
好压抑的作品，作为西部片，它太细腻了（可能是女导演对于情感部分的表达上会有优势）卷福有天生的功力去驾驭一些性格古怪的角色，这次又成功了。简导给我们呈现了温情浪漫的西部世界。尤其是卷福与男孩情感的变化上极致的镜头语言和细节处理令人叹服。毫无疑问它是一定会冲奥的影片符合奥斯卡的审美观期待好运
气氛佳 影片慢 学院派导演通病 看的累。结尾好 让观众也逐渐窒息直至跟着卷福一起死亡。
章回体的电影不是导演有情节，就是著作改编，编剧不够走心去好好研究镜头叙事。总之，要把章回体拍好很难，电影不像书，可以慢慢堆积、推进，这个片子叙事节奏有点问题…大抵讲了一个看人不要看表面，男人的要义不是社会意义上的雄性显现，而是在于是否有担当。当然，这件事可能我5岁就知道了。
用新西兰的风光来表现美国西部的野性有点怪怪的…
(2021TGHFF) (Titan廳大銀幕)
讽刺有水平，危机娱乐化，人类蠢猪化，大表姐知性化，小李子老年化，顶着一把达摩克利斯之剑，不解决问题解决人，组团赴死绝绝子。
1.5 / 马克·里朗斯演得真好。片子本身比上一部还像无聊微信爆款文。
行吧，大概是没认真看，知道有很多没看懂的点立马去看了解说，才理解了所谓文明和蛮荒的碰撞。其实能自己悟出这个点，没耐心好好去品，整个片子还是平淡的让人没有太高期待。
第一部简·坎皮恩，电影拍的非常克制，从头到尾都是一种暗涌的情感流动，各种复杂的人物关系和情感都埋在台词和各种细节里（像绳子，医书，马鞍等），这种方式很考验功力，包括演员的表演，因为本片的强情节冲突真的少，但是也导致了很多章节我很难入戏，包括和侄子那种隐隐的情愫建立我没怎么get到，因为节奏真的太慢了，卷福的表演我很喜欢，他演岀了人物外在的狠和内心的孤独，包括给他设计的结局，非常让人感慨。而且本片我觉得《犬山记》那个译名更贴切，包含了对人物关系的暗示。（6/10）
看第一遍很可能会有些懵，抱着看感情片的心态，看到一个谋杀、略微阴暗的故事，有些出乎意料。起初看到男主对彼得的讥讽嘲笑，以为男主是反面角色，谁知道最后男主才是最大的受害者，稀里糊涂地送了性命，甚至到死都不知道因何而起，还对加害者念念不忘，让人脊背发寒。导演拍得比较内敛、克制，全片呈现出一种暗流涌动的效果，似乎有什么要喷涌而出，却又一直被压制着，直到看完也久久回味，算是一种独特的风格吧。值得一提的是，结尾处男主和彼得吸烟那段氛围感营造得很好，昏暗的房间，迷离闪烁的灯光，青涩的少年，飘扬的轻烟，几乎让人沉醉其中。
7分。（目前最好的疫情电影之一？）豪华阵容，漫画式低级黑，但黑得漂亮；意识形态大分裂是一个问题，但是最棒的难道不是极好地写出了“左右横跳”这个事儿么？虽说全员纸片人，但梅姨演技居然还能更进一步，有意思（感觉也值一个奥斯卡提名啊）；大表姐这个人物写得也不错。相比之下小李和里朗斯就写得有点顺拐了。剧作上反高潮匹配间离式的生硬剪辑，也蛮有想法，当然完全可以更狠一点。甜茶这个角色，就，招人烦了（本来可以作为二元对立结构第三元扯出整个一条线的，而且这个角色进晚了……）……本片精华要数演唱会及匹配剪辑那一段。另外形式再极端一些的话，波蓝波宇的《布加勒斯特东12:08》导演你真可以看看……
