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.
Netflix+0715:宇宙自有它的选择。
边看片边看推上的吐槽看完了。几年前的我还是很希望劝导能再出一版翻拍呢，毕竟这是我最爱的简奥斯汀小说。然后自这片立项开拍以来传来的消息就一直在刷新我的下限。看了这片之后才发现服化道选角的问题什么的再差都可以忍的，但最不能忍的是曲解简姨的原作:几乎全员套用原著人物的名字，但其内核性格完全就是原创人物。编剧真的对劝导原著很不满的话就自己架空一个内核现代的古代故事吧，别套劝导的皮。别把原著里一些动人的语句改成粗俗的陈词滥调的台词。一星全给摄影...不是摄影和鸟妹的歌的话一星都不会给。让鸟妹当这片的编剧都比现在这个编剧改编的强。
😂女主被红酒浇头我的第一反应是“发烂发臭”
看了一半拖了拖进度条，弃了。。。。我给电影10分！！！只是百分制罢了。Godawful我不知道是不是简奥斯丁得罪了Netflix哪位高层，ta能这么恨她，把她的小说一部部改编搞成trash，damn，就。。。这种unwatchable的trash不知道是在恶心谁呢，假如如果第一次看这种玩意，谁会去看原著甚至以前的adaption。。。。（物理）劝退
爱来的好肤浅。小时候的玩伴一直能念念不忘到结婚时嘛，只能说未婚夫太令人心疼了。风景真棒啊
女主感觉只为卖性感，可能我还停留在50度灰吧。and男主跟她感觉不出有啥化学成分。
求求了！！！能不能不要强行给“女权”加戏……到处都是各种拼贴的影子。拼贴各种主义，再拼贴点伦敦生活……呵呵
西奥在走向主厨大师的路上，爸爸总在默默热切地关注着自己，才知道原来自私的爸爸只是成长路上自己独立拼搏中种种困难的映射。
只有风景是好的。哪怕再上两盘菜呢？和父亲的关系根本没处理好，更谈何爱情。
以为是灾难片结果是个喜剧，但是非常不着笑，我都能想象演员进行无实物表演的尴尬样子。除了承泰很帅以外，毫无看点，从投资来看应该是韩国的网大吧。
看完了，很精彩，有泪点，有笑点，剧情整体不拖沓，灾难面前，人性很温暖，这个电影适合和爱的人，和家人在电影院看，很精彩！另外电影的片尾曲是《劲舞团》里的一首歌，真好，好怀念，再次致敬自己的青春！！！
我有空听你搁这大段自白，不如把原著再读一遍...
我看过最差劲的奥斯汀小说改编，从女主那个欧根纱外套开始，一切都朝着烂片的方向狂奔。
Dakota Johnson的英音简直是犯罪
“Nessuno è speciale. Ma tutti possono diventare uno spettacolo speciale. Se li guarda la persona giusta.”
这部电影是在讽刺ZF遇到紧急事件救援的无能吗？
这不傻嘛，Dakota的气质和颜值怎么看都比她姐姐Elizabeth出色很多，怎么就成了家人嫌弃的丑小鸭。改编起码得尊重原著尊重历史吧？行，政治正确无所谓，长得不帅也无所谓，但最起码你要会演戏呀，都改成这样了，为啥不直接拍个现代剧，何必这样毁掉别人心中的白月光。感觉仿佛又看了一遍新版的《灰姑娘》，还是那句老话对于童话与名著来讲，古典美的消失是件极其恐怖的事情。
把我心中神圣的Persuasion拍成这样，我也只能说，Netflix, not surprising. 达妹真的是一如既往的让人失望。我就活该看了。
👩：这是一个有点俗气的三分爱情故事。
