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.
就这都7能上七分，大家包容度真高
还有上一次见面说自己根本没听说过大卫鲍伊，下次见面就给点Space Oddity
故事简单流畅，很细细的情感。结尾好好，片尾佳
戳爷一分，电影色彩养眼，一分
太棒了太棒了艹。暑假的三个月、即将升学、自我放弃、点歌大卫鲍伊、自行车…我最难忘的21岁的夏天。
戳爷好甜，表演好松弛，就是不知道他那么爱霉霉为啥会在片中黑她两次😂虚惊一场真的是人生幸事。等待的时光不要摆烂，要悄悄积蓄力量。
纯粹为了看troye。如果拍成20分钟的短片其实会更好……
就算再怎么喜欢大鹅也只能说这是略带青春疼痛的甜水mv啦
非常非常一般的同性青春小清新电影，没有戳爷的话三颗星
还有上一次见面说自己根本没听说过大卫鲍伊，下次见面就给点Space Oddity
完全可以相信戳爷的颜，但跟印度小哥毫无cp感，且两个人都挺0的…在床上抽烟吃零食然后还弄得满床都是我真的非常不🆗
为啥人家的小鲜肉长得真帅演技还好还多才多艺，关键是还敢承认自己是gay
这是导演自己的亲身经历改编的？！所以最后的结果是什么啊！也不交代一下，不过男主的这个经历倒是有些不尽如人意了，为了追求美好的爱情，倒追男二还被当成玩伴被甩，真的是很渣啊！演员方面，戳爷倒是挺适合这个角色的，又甜又帅的，谁不爱呢？男二真的是瞎了眼啊！整个故事呈现出来还是可以的，就是结局有些仓促了。
片子把戳爷拍得还是挺美的，有点像甜茶，但是情感刻画以及落脚点确实不敢恭维，这个男主的设定也不讨喜，一直是家人和朋友在承担他的戾气却没有feedback. p.s本片会收到霉霉律师函警告。
troye多演演电影吧
开头无论是内容还是色调，还是男主的脸我都很喜欢。看着看着放佛也感同身受到男主孤立无援的感觉、no friends no lover no family，还好奶奶一直支持着他。这漫长的等待审判的三个月。
看腻了好莱坞熟悉的那一套打法，回头看下俄罗斯电影，值得思考！
非常非常一般的同性青春小清新电影，没有戳爷的话三颗星
戳演技真的还不错诶 差不多集齐了一个常规青春片的所有要素 还可以吧
蓝色和阳光真的和戳爷太搭了吧！前面节奏略慢，后面心态转变也有点突然，虽然开放式结局想突出“不管postive or negative都能拥有美好人生”，但电影呈现差出来就是一觉起来豁然开朗。
