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.
借热门短评：2018年才将同性恋去罪化的印度，2022年已经拍出直面有关形婚, 同性恋领养方面的电影了。
过于脸谱化的角色和最后有些刻意的结局扣一分
真不错啊，阿三。印度对社会议题，女性主义，性少数群体的关注，甩了国内十万八千里
7.5/10 我同意友邻关于porn的说法 哈哈哈哈哈
这个题材印度来拍好新鲜，有动容~只要有真情，男同女同结婚也很美好～
OST赞！PRIDE游行。
印度最近用心思动脑子的电影越来越多了，而我们在30年前也是可以拍《喜宴》的。
现实是，大部分人在谎言中担惊受怕。大环境如果改变不了，我就祝愿所有的家庭都有和解的一天。还是蛮喜欢医生小姐姐的颜的。【轴】

只能说意义大于影片本身。对影片本身而言，其实还是套路了。但印度，可以可以
愿世界不再恐同。纵观近年来凡赚得高分高口碑的同类型影视，在“敢拍”且“让播”这一条上，我们就已经被甩开太多了。所谓人人生而平等言论自由，唯有无论何时也无论是谁但想表达出的东西都不再各种被锁被限时，那时才是这个社会真正的进步。
PS:我特喵心态崩了呀，如果这个电影是日本的，是美国的，哪怕是韩国的，甚至是俄罗斯的，我都能心平气静的接受，这他妈的竟然是印度的……我特喵心态崩了呀……
宝莱坞电影是一个独特的存在，在载歌载舞、插科打诨、嬉皮笑脸的背后，有着深厚的观点和沉重的社会问题，敢于直面深刻地反映在印度这个国家，人民争取自由开放平等的思想。在最后高亮部分，男主在七大姨八大姑面前的一番慷慨陈词，把影片的主题阐述清楚，这个世界上有许多许多不同，这个社会要做的就是能够包容。
我觉得你们这群人很奇怪，这么怕晦气吗？来生都不信的一群人怕晦气。。
印象中好像从来没看过形婚的电影 一个谎言需要无数个谎言去掩盖 从形婚开始的每一幕都尬得难受 这男主如同女主形容的一样mcp 好在最后总算勇敢迈出了最重要的一步 出柜后世界依旧没有不同 但每一口呼吸都是真实的
开头还可以，男主被甩后就不太行了，还是前男友帅😑
氛围感很不错，是恐怖的，确实邪性，也确实有点晦气。不过我唯一的不满还是源自我对伪纪录片的不喜，晃镜头这事我是真的受不了，看着晕。。另外养父也太可怜了叭。。然后就是，我以前以为自己没有很密恐，看了以后觉得我还是挺密恐的。。。。
国产影视剧的主角什么时候能不傻逼？不中二？不智障？不作死？
没什么信心能脱单🙏
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈手机从火车上掉下去那一刻我真的笑死了！
