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.
韩国版《真爱至上》，多线故事里只有“自杀男孩和叫醒服务”、“暗恋多年的男孩结婚了但新娘不是我”这两个故事最有趣，其他的不痛不痒。老年CP在公园追逐的戏，和婚礼上卡农的伴奏都瞬间梦回《我的野蛮女友》，但也说明郭在容真的拿不出什么新东西了。
实在太无聊了，一点都不有趣，硬熬了100多分钟才等到林允儿
影片开头长镜头对家庭变迁和岁月是转换处理的有些乱但是出彩。通过回忆带出的事情，本来就不会是清晰明快的。整部影片基调暗淡，主人公的名字叫 犀牛，我想是为了突出那种没有目的的横冲直撞。暴力，破败混乱的生活环境，不知所往的人生状态。目前所有版本的字幕都是意识流，还是要靠理解力。三颗星
05.03.2022
1.片头片尾很有特色 诙谐又魔幻
有些平，这个题材也不新，加入了犀牛的概念，你倒是阐释啊，整体都没有什么起伏，暴力的恶与灵魂觉醒都不能打动人
在清醒时准备好寿衣，在孤独时选择速食爱情，老人家的爱是一同归西，青年间的情是肉体缠绵。本片长镜头极尽写实，但在情感深度和人物塑造上却没有沾到光，矛盾冲突平面化，表演诉求更高。当然全片最大的败笔在最后5分钟，闹鬼一般惊悚的场面实在没必要拿来表现思亲之情。
2022.01.01.01:01 咱就是说我现在心情好到爆炸 新的一年要充满希望谨慎行事
2022年7月2日观看。翻译的问题，字幕有点乱。开场的那个做出来的长镜头有点新意。血腥、情色都毫不掩饰，乌克兰的电影不少都很残酷。
最好看的竟然是老年组，霸道总裁的线最无聊老套了
果然没失望，又让我想起另外两部乌克兰电影《进出口》《聋哑部落》，一样的现实主义题材，都很精彩！
3.5比较喜欢叫醒服务那条线索，其他的线都没啥感觉。
韩志旼和李栋旭 合作一部爱情剧吧 这种大杂烩就算了
时不时会出戏
…真爱至上的无敌粗制滥造版 演员都蛮好的 就是线太多 太潦草了
真的没有人为韩志旼流泪吗，唱祝歌的时候，“不知从何开始我把你放在心上 向其他爱情说再见”歌声一响我眼泪就流个不停，最后电梯里那段「我并不认为 我们彼此没坦白心意 让我们变得不幸」崩溃啦..如果这条线结束在电梯这里就恰到好处，最后为了合家欢大团圆剧情画蛇添足真的没必要，以及其他人的线其实都没什么意思。
抛开又长又臭的故事不说，仅仅是野蛮女友的炒冷饭，吃相未免难看了。另外，我很气将允儿的角色设置成只闻其声不见其人的人设，要到最后才能见得到漂亮姐姐的身影就很离谱。
本片中，父亲患阿尔兹海默症，大小便失禁，靠着妻子和女儿一起，才能脱下脏掉的里衣和清洗。一家三人在卫生间的奔溃大哭是影片的亮点，也是整体情绪下降的转点，观众和故事人物一起，等待死亡的来临。
调度思路特别舞台，包括那个华丽的长镜头。男主角确实长得像头犀牛。
一个家庭或者说是千千万万个家庭的展现，但生活不该这么骨感，有时候也会在苦难中找到甜，影片处于越看眉头越近，色调偏压抑
