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.
寸头、电梯里的衣架的隐喻都不错，母亲背负了来自传统的多大包袱
7.7分#有趣的客家话，可爱的人物，真实的烟火气，是个令人惊喜的作品了～唯一的小遗憾是结局太仓促了
特别真诚，特别感人，戏剧冲突甚至有点套路，但是架不住真实感。潮汕话跟闽南语好多用法都一样，是属于一个语系吗？
电影全过程，我又哭又笑😭😂
男主还是很幸运的，有个以他开心为主的妈妈，很多人的父母哪怕断绝来往还是接受不了坚持己见。
参加了不散的点映活动，观影体验很不错！还有主创演员和玩具船长主唱映后和大家交流。故事很简单，潮汕人情怀加一分（不知道非潮汕人能不能理解其中的文化，潮汕确实整天拜神，不希望孩子找外地人，离婚的）。很好地展现了当地人的生活，很有亲切感。难得有全潮汕话的电影！总感觉男主说话的语气和仁科有点像😃。希望导演下次继续用潮汕话讲个好故事(故事很重要)。
以俗套的爱情故事为主线，夹杂着有关隔代思想矛盾和地域文化差异的表达。潮汕地区特有的拜拜，邻里之间的攀比与祝福，母子间激烈的争吵，这是一部属于小镇青年的电影，源于导演和编剧生命体验的私人影像。但是人类的情感是相通的，尤其喜欢最后手机拍摄的坐飞机在西湖出游片段。让我想起初中时妈妈带我去游乐园玩一起坐过山车时她紧张的样子，原来天底下的妈妈都一样，有时候“不讲道理”有时候又温柔可爱。前半段稍微有些生硬，后面渐入佳境。
整体电影结构清晰 故事简单 潮汕话微电影添彩 现在讲故事的电影太少 讲的清楚的更是沧海遗珠 所以整体不错值得去看
意外不错，就算听不懂潮汕话也很容易感到潮汕的氛围
"欢迎潮汕话加入2022乡村爱情故事电影大赛"...某种程度上算在深潮汕人特供片吧...各种南山镜头...回家房间那段王家卫差点要叫律师了...机场飞机在车窗倒影也很有技巧..."仿佛看到了中国电影的希望"...
闽乡情。渔港湿热的海风、甜糯绕口的闽南话、咸香生猛的潮汕生腌、家长里短的闲言碎语，还有厝头妈妈爸爸的碎碎念，当这些组合在一起，故事、情节、电影技巧什么的就不那么重要了，这就变成了从影像中抽出的私人的、生活的、怀旧的一丝丝乡愁，暖人心脾。
电影本身还挺一般的，有一些小彩蛋，看得出来导演是资深影迷。
很潮汕的电影，把风俗人情都拍出来了。炒麻叶，拜神，拉拉扯扯的送礼，算命，有些人重男轻女，在深圳做生意，潮剧，做桃粿，排斥外省媳妇，非常贴合潮汕人的生活。
尽管方言可能有隔阂（潮汕话真的不容易听懂），但是电影聚焦于“婆媳”之间与新旧观念的碰撞，还是能有共鸣。电影最大的矛盾是妈妈无法接受外省离过婚的准儿媳，最终因为爱而改变观念，面对潮汕地区一直存在的观念，以爱作为人物动机的转变，有投机取巧之感。而且我一直很纠结这样的设置是否存在污名化的嫌疑，如果潮汕地区真的如此，观众可能会觉得这个地方还是很封建，如果潮汕地区对此已经改变很多，那创作者的设置就有污名化的嫌疑。然而妈妈的扮演者是全片最大的亮点，编导对于她的塑造已经本人出色的表演，能将一切合理化，这个辛勤、能干、火爆、慈爱于一体的妈妈，不同于以往婆婆对媳妇外来人的防备，妈妈对媳妇虽刀子口却豆腐心，比较而言媳妇的角色就太扁平。另外航拍汕头的两个镜头和潮汕方言的歌曲是点睛之笔。
很厉害，拍的挺好！摄影特别用心，剪辑上安排也有细腻的镜头，没有什么特别尬的感觉（有的话，就是在深圳的，在深圳画面很容易尬，生涩），从片子整体来说十分自然了，接地气，身为喜欢看电影的潮汕人，我走心了！
制作中规中矩，亮点不足，故事无比现实却闪烁着人性的光辉。
配乐选择得很好，很贴合潮汕风情。
奶奶问：知道怎么洞房吗？要不要我教你？要脱裤子知道吧——笑了要死
处处可见尴尬和捉襟见肘，但仍然能感受到那份诚意。
最后，功夫茶是真的好喝的，单丛最好喝了。
