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.
这个卡司，居然可以拍得这么无聊，着实没想到。 除了布拉格大战能看，节奏真的有够烂。 本想着会有点不一样的惊喜，结果越到最后越烂。 肉搏戏也一股花拳绣腿味儿。

《机械姬》导演再度探寻人类和AI的生存之道
把千男一面进行了极富想象力的视觉呈现。它并不会利用惯常的恐怖桥段去渲染气氛，单纯复现女性会遭遇的一切就已经足够恐怖，男性极度自我所带来的压迫恶意也已足够骇人。结尾足够猛。
this is what u did. 从苹果与乐园开始，到电影开场的丈夫自杀，所有男性对女性责难符号化成一场往复无穷的循环分娩。神权，暴力机关，疯癫都归结于性凝视，总有简单化的嫌疑。这剧情像是所有创伤女性永恒的噩梦：异化而分岔肢体带有的绝对力量，入侵伴随的耻辱和自身完整性的丧失。她在这个循环里给出的答案是，倒转hide and seek 的权力关系，绝不放开手里的斧头。
美队想演反派能理解，但被高司令揍，打不过高司令？严重怀疑是高司令投资了这片，证明自己不是只能演文艺片，唱唱歌跳跳舞的，还可以徒手暴击美队的。哈哈哈～
就那样吧，在网飞的天价自制电影目录中，惊天营救>此片>鬼影特攻>红色通缉令。美队离开漫威，几乎丧失了自己的角色属性
好牛逼啊，完成度超高，对女性的责难压迫与威胁从看似伊甸园里的第一口苹果开始，一点一滴不急不缓积累起来，形成前半段压倒性的女性向巨大惊恐，后半段从牧师的那段关于丽达与天鹅，壬塞与水手的冗长“布道”中，又清楚读出父权制度下，男性同样承受着巨大悲剧的意味。张老张家庭影院选片太棒！A24果然世界上最美丽恐怖片的制造商
全片除了高司令有虽生硬但还算完整的人物背景，其他角色堪比一次性工具，能够留下记忆点的部分都是由演员本身提供的。还有就是动作场面，还算是罗素兄弟较为擅长的部分吧，可故事线和动作戏的串联要不要这么儿戏啊...
220723.★★★★★.单调无味对气氛营造徒有负值助益的配乐比反派的台词还聒噪吵闹，系平庸套路记忆点稀薄的剧情和人物塑造以外最扎眼的短板，插曲也一般；高潮决斗更是出现了一处最不该出现的低级“穿帮”。所幸节奏和审美从布拉格街头战开始渐入佳境（）；穿越机的运用系有别于老贝的一番风味（摄影质感和统一度仍不及后者）。导演对几个主演的角色魅力的挖掘开发≈零。高司令美队的摩擦对峙零戏剧张力零火花；茱莉亚尚可，安娜卖力，三哥技最高（）；导演在最后的客串反而成了为数不多的表演准高光。拉得高不成低不就，怪失望。
真的就是feminist horror（点了几个低分果然都是男的）
这就是女人生存的世界，男人编织起让人窒息的网。你以为世界多元他们各自不同，才不是呢。他们是共脑共体的存在。里面的苹果、乌鸦、雌雄同体图腾到男人单体繁殖全都是男人最终的YY以此构建的贬低女人的社会。当女人举起斧头不在恐惧不在内疚，所有这些桎梏不堪一击。
剧情方面真的很一般，结局有点屎，可以这么说这是反派赢了的结局！
立意挺好，但男导演没有拍出女性在男权社会里真正的焦虑和恐惧。全片都是流于表面的情绪氛围，作为女性我也很难体会到女主的恐惧情绪。
6.27 “男人都不是什么好东西”，把男权的压迫具象化为一个个独立个体，表达是有的，结尾妊娠套娃的cult质感也很变态，可就是太垮了……前半个小时真的快睡死了
2.5 / 依然很喜欢那些《湮灭》式时刻，加兰依然有那种把所有无比自然真实的环境拍成虚假合成景观的能力，这也是其营造氛围的最重要方式。但除此之外，这真的只是一个概念短片……
差点没认出来美队，倒是女一号让我想起了银翼杀手。
亚历克斯·加兰用浓烈的视觉风格，自然装置完成了一部乔丹·皮尔式的，包含二元对立的议题的恐怖片，幽灵与记忆在回忆被去魅，又在不安的哥特空间之中被重新发现，在设定上如同“造访带”，但并不是塔可夫斯基的而是形如斯特鲁伽茨基的原著描写。无数的宗教隐喻是对于《创世纪》的改写。亚历克斯·加兰和迪库诺最大的不同在于一种反-启示录精神，在《机械姬》中，其实现是哈拉维式的赛博格宣言，《男人》则是圣经的后现代结构主义阐释，而裸身的亚当则逼近一个荣格式的等级制原型，他的不断自我生殖是符号-结构社会的裂变与自我生产，在这种压迫性的封闭中，女性只能被迫扮演夏娃，承受人类“堕落”的指控。happy ending的结局和前几部作品相比显得邪气不足，导演本身可以处理为一个恶之社会在恐惧的伊甸园之上的就地诞生。
很懂了 When can men leave woman the fuck alone?
故事线嘛就是没有，但高成本一定是花在破坏各种历史建筑甚至炸毁了半个欧洲这些动效场景里所以还是好看的！高司令的脸简直是失去痛感刀枪不入的早期施瓦辛格味道，台词已经很努力了小学鸡垃圾话还蛮轻松哒
