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.
故事一般，不过卷福还是更适合这样的角色发挥。
至少开头很轻松地把我带进了故事里，本以为是简单轻快的韩式爱情故事，没想到隐藏的是亲情内核，怎么就避不开这种催泪的电影了哎
真实事件其实值得拍的，但编剧导演拍的比较一般，让故事简单程式化，命题作文的痕迹很重，不走心。演员演的也一般
其实挺好看的，可惜太冷门没有靠谱的外挂字幕。
卷福演得很好，电影不太行，不过我反正是冲着克莱尔去的~~~
还是用哪一套天才必精神病的监狱逻辑在建构，还是用二维平面的社会人来揣度三维世界天才说你看吧，那是他们有病。原型人物的画作真实很棒。
油画处理的画面，4比3的画幅，画猫终于是找准了定位。片名的Electrical是电气之意，心中的电流是因为遇到了家庭教师艾米丽和陪伴一生的猫。
我试图通过暂停电影的方式让他的人生停留在最快乐的时光，然而没有任何用处。
一個蓋火車站的故事，和等一句「我要離開了」的故事。說故事的人用一種很舒服的方式說了一個學會「放下」的事，笑中帶淚、感人至深，主演都好棒，好甜也好暖。奇蹟的發生必然要有天才的存在，而我們真實生活中沒有天才、沒有奇蹟的話，就看看這些天才編的好故事吧，至少能讓心情變好、生活過的美一點。
前半段寫階級差異下的outsiders互相扶持互相救贖的愛情故事相當感人，後半段開始逐漸平庸流水帳。有嘗試提及在維多利亞時期的女性地位問題但只是蜻蜓點水，其他如原生家庭問題也如是（有幾個片段出戲到《小婦人》），甚至片尾對於「電力」的解釋以帶出所謂主題也是如此地生硬。畫面不錯，巧妙地利用4:3比例和油畫感的攝影讓觀眾進入電影的時空裡，夫妻二人在湖前的鏡頭美到叫人難忘。
林允儿绝对是理想型，父亲说出真相那段还不错。
本尼个人秀，4:3画幅胶片摄影。猫是爱的拯救和传递。
三星半 / 看到最后那些画很熟悉，搜了一下是在cat puzzle里经常见到的图案
Willy还是有想法的；Benny怎么那么适合传记人物呢？
剧情有点粗糙但还是很经典。林允儿演真的高中生毫无压力
电影倒是不错，就是导演要是再节约点，直接可以李星民演男主了。
整部電影真的是滿足粉絲的後續大禮包，不以粉絲角度來看的話，我是覺得後面節奏有一點拖，但以粉絲角度來看真是完美畢業大結局~而且赤楚和町田的表演詮釋一點都不尬，看BL電影最怕兩位主角尬演了XD
本质是一个艺术家的爱情故事。最常见的元素都有：精神分裂、天才/天赋、一见钟情等等。在中国的流行大概和现在爱猫人士满大街有关吧…原来一直到19世纪，英国社会还没有将猫普遍地作为宠物呀
哎，看看韩国电影，能从一句话的故事里演绎出那么多，能有那么多感人的情感，让人觉得那么美好。中国电影就一个加了很多元素的李焕英……
永失我爱的痛，孤独的灵魂，美丽的乡村！猫咪是勇敢而孤独的生灵，人也如此，生来孤独，只能勇敢！擦擦眼泪收拾心情，准备去喂小区里我那十多只可爱的流浪猫
