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.
感染力女王握着别人手时、站上舞台时，世界好像只剩下她，和身后耀眼的光芒。越来越喜欢看传记电影，尤其是没有明确价值导向的情况下，重点去凸显人物的深刻特点。
活在自我感动中而不自知的美国倪萍，只有在镜头面前、在表达的过程中，才能找到存在的意义。生活中无法摆脱表演型人格，一如那不能卸下的眼妆。btw，一直觉得加菲是个吃人设的演员，任何角色都很难摆脱他弱气的个人气质，以至于老年仿妆在他不谙世事的脸上如此违和，一度觉得造型失败，直到结尾对比图一出，才惊异于和原型竟然如此吻合
三星全给劳模姐的表演，硬生生的把肤浅的剧本给演出深度来，奥斯卡影后拿的顺理成章。本来是一个很不错的题材，但是根本没敢深度挖掘电视福音传教机构这个庞大的骗人产业。只是蜻蜓点水的“你好我好大家好，坏蛋只有一个”。加菲演技在劳模姐面前彻底崩溃，俩人最激烈的一场对手戏，只有劳模姐一个人在拼，加菲脸上贴着假皱纹，根本没演出感觉。差太多啦！
还是一般水准吧，不过我看的时候，周围的小盆友倒是看得很开心
挺失望的，大雄的主角戏份居然还没有小矮人高。哆啦A梦的道具也丧失了奇思妙想的点子。群戏的刻画依然是动画电影里面天花板的存在

2.片子所有编排都在为颁奖季度身考虑。
在美国你可以贩卖任何东西，甚至是信仰。不是劳模姐最好的电影，但绝对是她生涯目前最好的表演了，这个奥斯卡拿的太不容易了，她这个岁数只能靠“毁容式”造型飙演技了，特别是要和妮可基德曼和奥利维亚科曼竞争，难度不小。不过另外两个影后去年的片子质量都不咋样。
3. 每个议题都如蜻蜓点水般轻轻点过但又不能不提毕竟不提就对不了颁奖季评委们的胃口。但蜻蜓点水之后的涟漪会迅速消去，没有人再会记得，没有人想再提起；没有一个点有继续深挖下去，包括女性主义。
拍一部纯粹给小朋友的电影不好吗？还是我低估了现在小孩子的成熟度？
劳模姐这部差点真没认出来，真的拼。。。感觉用圣经打嘴仗挺有趣的。。。
太難看了什麼玩意兒（竟然是跟他一起看的第一部院線電影

不是劳模姐最好的电影，但是对于她来说，可能真的是生涯难得的最好时机。
以復古、誇張，表現著他們的貪婪、虛偽，試圖去觸及諸多議題，都只是匆匆一掃而過，反而削弱了最關鍵的女性主義的表達，一度讓我想到Tim Burton那部失敗的《大眼睛》。Jessica Chastain的表演讓人夢回《相助》，當然這一回的角色更加複雜，她的表演也更加成熟和有層次，尤其是老年部分的演繹，完全沒有她本人的影子。
一度像坐下来认真地看一场大型宗教电视人八卦，最后求职和充满光辉的演唱略感人，杰西卡·查斯坦的声音好像珍妮丝，特别那笑声。很卖力也很倾心的演出确实，但不至于，还是为佩内洛普感到可惜。
拍的像小孩子过家家，演员自己在说台词的时候真的是尬的不行，劳模姐再演这样的东西，迟早得废了！
就这样宗教搭配愚民政策，形成了完美组合拳，塔米·菲夫妻俩正好吃到了这个巨额红利。
