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.
好多处剪辑唐突、人物关系浮于表面、情节不够靠歌词来凑，看个音乐剧都比这电影强吧…
人的成长过程，总是会缺失一些东西，也许是被认为是很重要的部分。同样，也必然会有另一部分来填充，而这一部分，常常会在写回忆录时才会发现，原来得到的比失去的多。
两星半，七零年代金曲串烧。Tye Sheridan与Ben Affleck舅甥组合。缺席的亲情拼图由母系亲属中的叔公辈补全。既不肯承认又不肯改变的姓名仿佛鞋中石子。恐惧血缘的神秘传承会使年轻人也一事无成，于是停在原地，不听劝告地追求一个不可能的完美的她。除却将这样的女人意象化为第一性叙述中闪耀的、too young to have的一切事物外，女友不再有其他任何意义。恰如片中母亲的投奔家庭、寄托希望于儿子、又在儿子的突然觉醒后也突然转向生活的光明面一样，都缺乏足够的原因。父亲所投射的阴影被驱散得是如此快，以至于观众最后十分钟还停留在“that's it？”的反问。
feel I need to change this
看完蛮感动的。以后也要开一个全是书籍的bar！
故事平平到让人很难记得两小时堆砌起的电影，究竟有什么值得回味的部分，全然没能让如此亮眼的演员阵容发挥出原本该有的魅力价值，实属可惜。既然还是全程看完的，给颗三星聊表心意。
大熊真的天生为这种角色而生的呜呜呜呜真的好帅！！！！
韩国很擅长这种题材，但是这部片子节奏啥的非常不连贯啊
我觉得还不错，那种自由的感觉，很令我着迷。可能在另一个平行世界我也是这样的生活吧。
里面一些玩闹的剪辑还挺有意思的哈哈哈哈
打破对父亲的滤镜 那一刻男主十几年的包袱都好像放下了
正太JR很轻松地答出Super Cooper酒吧一众侧目然后King Harvest的Dancing in the Moonlight前奏切入的瞬间
“本来可以拍电视剧确拍成了电影”系列，信息量爆炸。血书请求两位男主人公二搭！！！
淡淡的，蛮有味道的温情电影， 总比人造爆款好太多！ Ben Affleck 可塑性好强！
因为两位主演而看的，虽然由小说改编，但这事也就是搁HG能拍和接受。故事紧凑和结构性一般，不是那么抓人。小崔演技还需要练，赵震雄和朴熙顺一如既往的稳。
sweet & slow。 配乐好好听。 大本老了，不过还是很帅。
大概第一次被本·阿弗莱克蛊到，知性、贴心、衣品好。挺温馨的剧情但是过于平淡细碎，应该是纽约时报看不上的。【。
在电影院看的。以毒攻毒，以恶制恶，以暴除暴。不过，还是没什么鸟意思。
剧情方面没有什么很有趣的地方，人物方面也没有什么有趣的地方，动机上面有点意思，但也没啥大意思。整体看起来就是平平淡淡，无功无过，没有风格，比较失望
其实还挺好看的 要不是有大叔在的话 到底是好人还是坏人 真真假假 最后是坏人里的好人 抓到贩毒人员又安全脱壳
