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.
吹爆这部影片的美学镜头，真有被它美住了，水墨画的质感给人超强的视觉体验，黑白色调给足了年代感，身临其境了属于是。
这是一部一个人的使命，却完成的十分的艰难，很出乎意料导演用另一种方式来呈现，与平时欣赏别的战争片有所不同，影片里没有那么多的喊口号似的台词，也没有花里胡哨的情感戏。
我对新撰組说实话真的不了解太多，对于土方、沖田他们的理解都是从銀魂里来的。看这部电影纯粹是因为朋友的朋友出演里面一个小角色（就一两句台词那种）。就我浅薄的历史知识来说，我觉得岡田和山田涼介的演技让我没觉得有很大的违和感，甚至对于他们俩有种刮目相看的感觉。我个人属于基本不看日本的电影和电视剧的，但是他们两个不得不说把自己的角色演绎的很好。剧情说实话，不了解一定历史的不太推荐去看，日语太难懂了剧情也难懂。我和日本的朋友一起去的，她竟然也没怎么看懂剧情，就证明真的不太推荐没有一些历史知识（or那个时代的日语词汇表达）的同学在日本看这部电影。
睡着了，但不影响我给他打高分。
在我看来，这部电影不仅画面视觉方面很有冲击力，在听觉音效方面也有一些小创新，小巧思，整体氛围感营造的很好
全片只使用了黑白红三种颜色，整体氛围感很特别，长镜头和音乐运用凸显了一种阴森恐怖感，给人一种深刻的压迫，这才是战争最真实的一面吧。
司马辽太郎被原田真人和冈准给绑定了（ 比关原之战更加流水，但其实美学风格还是很对味，可以考虑拍成上下部？
剧情记流水账，宛如工具人偶的女主。冈田的演技越来越同质化。那眉头一皱那说话的语气神情我根本分不清演的是黑田官兵卫还是石田三成还是土方岁三…
期待了好久，不过也对原田真人没有多高预期。整体是土方视角的流水账，好在阵容、杀阵、美学、构图都还可以。池田屋配乐卡门，有意思。我喜欢的寻剑一段拍出来了，可惜没啥韵味。11的动作戏真的很棒，而且居然是自己设计的，厉害了。
结构非常好。镜头调度、分镜都太草率了吧，配乐有时候有点过了。色阶是不是有点卡得太过了，有点影响观感了
（冈田准一在关原演石田三成还行，到这里演土方岁三好像都是短板，前期光顾着看他怎么能这么土，后期光顾着看他身高实在不行。。。。）
我愿称之为国内最美的战争片，这种美来自于制作团队超高的审美，也来自于影片中在镜头和音效上的各种全新尝试。
以血饲剑，誓同生死。幕府末期生于剑又死于剑的武士、新选组副长土方岁三顽强好胜的一生。正是这位武州石田村的平民之子，曾被人唤作“刺儿头阿岁”的他，凭借其天生好斗的性格和创建组织的才能，把原本不过是聚集了浪人及平民的新选组建成了当时最强大的一个团体，并在日本历史上掀起了他自己也意想不到的波澜。
就算作为流水账都太难看了。两个半小时拍新选组的历史，怎么可能拍得清楚。04年大河剧版帮追完一年的观众回顾剧情的总集篇都比这个长。只拍池田屋或者箱馆战争不好吗。
光影太暗，放眼完全听不懂，情节和人物交代也不是很清楚，不过空镜还是有一些艺术气息
我以前还真没看过明治维新这段的任何严肃作品。这部真的很好看啊，杀阵漂亮，剧情紧凑又不会让我看不懂，几个重要角色演得很出色。惊讶于评论区很多骂声。
这个叙事节奏，相当于拍了一部大河剧《新选组》的速看版，急急忙忙把事件过了一遍，无论是对这段史实熟不熟悉，都会觉得索然无味。新选组就是一帮随波逐流的无脑鹰犬，根本不知道自己想要什么和应该坚持什么，我对他们一点同情都没有。
眼鏡快瞎了
演员都很棒，其实原作也很好，但是把六年的历史强行塞进2个半小时的电影里真的太过勉强，匆匆忙忙的流水账叙事，虽然是按时间，但是造成了整体叙事的乱，非常乱。整体感觉就是，好像讲了很多又好像什么都没讲，感觉比起拍成电影电视剧更合适。
没有过重地刻画战争场面，却能让人从张力十足的镜头语言中读懂战争的残酷，很棒的表现手法，赞住了。
