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.
很平实又挺可爱的，后半段剧情垮了，结尾的处理方式又给掰回来一些。方言和音乐（主要是方言歌曲）加分。

真实自然的故事，流畅舒适的表达，真挚契合的配乐，恰到好处的情怀和地方特色，以及带着惊喜和巧合且省钱的彩蛋式收尾，春节档最佳，与其刷大片不如捞一部有趣的小制作素人电影来得有意义，四星加一星，权作赞助！🎉
如何将潮汕生活的细节喜剧化这一块，还是做得很好的。但其实就是段子思维，不是电影思维。真正落实到人物情感，现实问题，就显得平庸无力。只有在最后几乎是花絮一般的镜头中，我们看到了复杂而真实的人物。一种自卑与自责，好奇与可爱，是长期封闭与落后真正被打开与溶解的开始。而这才是潮汕电影的方向。
除了静珊不怎麼像包郵區人之外，基本上沒有什麼缺點。媽媽的角色花了一點時間入戲，但後面基本就漸入佳境了。以及，潮州家庭不怎麼接受外省女生嫁過去也是好事啦，一年到頭都要各種拜拜，各種民俗真的太難了（我DNA裡那一丁點的海豐基因都不足以令我敢說我可以），還有要男人和客人吃完才輪到家裡女人上桌吃飯這個在我外公老家是真的存在，我外公算是嫁出來了所以家裡就沒有這種規定了，不管怎麼說，這電影我喜歡。
我已经预想印度全国都飘彩虹旗了我国还挂wb图
素人主演的优缺点都很明显，乡土化很成功，最后的转变也不生硬，有闪光点也有好听的BGM~
封建乡土街坊面子最重要，不如过得好。
印度这样的国家可以拍这样敏感话题的电影，而且拍的还是这么的诙谐、真诚而又温暖，值得让人高看这个国家的未来！
很难相信，一个大环境下还靠硬件匹配程度来由家里人匹配结婚对象并指婚的国家能时不时的拍出几部这样题材的电影。更难理解的是，我们一边嘲笑人家一边固步自封（退回封建）。
我承认，大多数汕头人都是不爱自己家乡的，不止是不爱，甚至骨子里轻蔑、嘲讽，对它的唯一认同，大概只有吃。但看了导演阿狼这4年的2部方言电影，真的能感受到有一些人是挺热爱家乡的，虽然同样身不在此。不可否认，那些深藏我们心底的“卑劣感”，也都一一呈现在影片中了，这就是我们留给外地人的刻板印象，但这就是事实。最喜欢的一点，导演并没有刻意美化家乡。——2022.4.30看完
电影没有说多好看，但是印度可以将同性恋搬到大荧幕上给我们在这个方面倒退的国家带来的冲击感是莫大的！
很好看啊 两个couple都蛮可爱（很理想化的形婚了
男女主無聲的電話真的很感人
讲述同性恋群体的爱情和生活，题材小众，讲述轻松。但剧情有些拖沓，男女主角各自爱情线也显弱。
绝对不是说支持形婚
拍的真的很好，看得我又哭又笑的，前半段简直笑抽，很能共情女主，甚至连家庭背景都惊人相似，看的时候一度很担心女主出事，还好是部喜剧，一切都很理想化。我国什么时候能拍一部这样的片子啊...
虽然剧情和叙事都很一般，但场景和情节都太真实了，受众是在外的潮汕人吧？
后二十分的时候开始带情绪，如果自己的亲人都觉得这是罪是病是恶的话，那面罩将一直摘不下。
最后一幕四人坐在一起，为爱斗争了真正地胜利，不分性别，感情是自然而发的，里面人物最大变化是男主，一个大男子主义内心薄弱的Gay，最终能主动直面出轨，女主真的对他改变很多，这个孩子一出生感受的爱就是double 的🌈
