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.
剧情的删改没有了舞台剧的惊艳，但是值得一看
看了豆瓣有个心理预期，结果比想象中好很多啊。我觉得是合格的电影版（虽然开场的waving through a window很出戏）电影版的表演会更加细腻，get到了很多之前没有get的歌（大爱for forever和sincerely me）you will be found搞得我在课上差点哭出来。其实一直比较膈应zoe和evan这对cp，在if i can tell her的时候没亲简直太好了。anonymous ones真的很应景超爱！！朱莉亚摩尔唱歌真的我惊了🆘 个人很满意电影版🥰（如果能把每首歌切入的地方优化一下就好了，感觉音乐剧电影每首歌还是一开始娓娓道来的好）
not half as good as I had in mind
阿部宽真的太像加贺了，但我也真的对加贺无感dbq）我其实一直搞不懂濑濑敬久的风格 《友罪》和《乐园》其实和这个都总让俺有种似曾相识的感觉，演员演技和本子质量都没啥问题，但就总觉得差点什么 （但是这个电影里的kaya演的好好
一言难尽，如果不是ben我可能也就给个2星吧，是真的很喜欢他。一直没有机会在西区看这部剧，打算明年去补一下。但原声带我早就听过了，但电影版我觉得如果脱去了原版的背书，这剧情就是一集glee的水平，真的情绪线也安排的跟glee差不多，靠一首key song把观众的情绪推到红眼眶，然后开始激流勇进式的用cliche给观众降温。其次我就是想问，ben platt的体态为什么在这部剧里这么难看，我简直不敢相信，真的生涯最丑。
看过音乐剧，电影还算是比较还原了。歌曲很感动，新加入的anonymous ones也很好听，让Alana这个角色更立体了。但果然每次看都觉得结尾好可惜，果然参杂了谎言的爱情无法持续吗？表面上相敬如宾，实际上连朋友都不是了。电影里Evan努力找到的Connor的歌算是小惊喜吧。
选角太老的问题别纠结了 毕竟制片人是Ben爹🚬
非原著粉，很喜欢这个故事，第一次拥有这种悲伤的同时感到快乐的感觉。
三星半吧，题材选的很好，但是节奏和叙事都不怎么出彩，悬疑感不足
适合心情灾害重建的人，套路是旧的，但是关怀是好的
新歌挺好听的，Connor好帅。
這個翻拍電影比較難啊 很多誤會和黑色幽默轉變得一板一眼就不是那味兒了
每个人都在努力的活着啊 希望福利社会的那天能真正的到来 （不知道有多少无名的英雄在暗处努力的做着这一切）让我们发声吧 不论几次 要比那些卑劣的人发的更响亮 更理直气壮
时间线的铺展和收束都恰到好处
政府部门办理救助业务的人应该好好看看这部片子，时刻提醒自己，生命，每个个体的生命，不分贵贱，都应善待。
灾难带来的伤痛人只能如同吞下掉落的牙齿被迫忍受、平息，而对于人为伤害则会选择牙龈咬出血也要复仇。悲痛之至，当有进击的对象时就会不顾一切完成破灭。
时间线略杂乱，剧情逻辑性稍弱，但看懂了想表达什么，很受触动。
想用导演祭天，虽然都能想象他跟制片方掰扯的整个过程
一个掏心挖肺的剧，电影改编是怎么做到一点起伏动人的地方都没有的？服了导演。很多的原本很震撼的台词和表演都被掐断，马上投入感情的时候戛然而止。歌曲的引入太生硬了，跟马戏之王比，我再也不嫌弃马戏之王了。其他歌删掉我理解，但我觉得不应该删Good For You？最后，Ben Platt. Ben Platt. BEN PLATT. 赞美一万遍Ben Platt，三星全给Ben Platt.
如果没有看过原著这部电影还算可以，但对于看过的我来说就有很多不满的地方。原著的悬疑气氛是很浓的，电影变成了感情戏为主。佐藤健的女装造型没有出现关键这个角色比小说里弱了太多一眼就看出不是嫌疑人。原著中罪犯的真面目最后才揭晓，电影里暴露的太早了。最不能接受的是佐藤健的角色很早就知道了真相并默默帮助真凶，最后还无罪释放。对影视化还是不能抱太大的希望啊！
