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.
认识自己，认识自己的身体，最后时刻保持某种界限
讨论话题可以，但是Leo这个角色实在是过于Sex Saint，上一次看到现实反差这么大的角色还是爱很美味的健身教练。
再来补官摄，无论是立意词曲还是表演都是很完整的作品。突然想起本来2020是可以看到澳洲版卡司来上海演出的啊。。希望平行世界里已经看了。
设定很美好，但是说教太多了，我们不一定要和家庭或者身体和解。希望落点在不管老或少，美或丑，在欢愉面前皆平等。
二十年不长，阴影仍旧笼罩；二十年却又弹指一挥间，彼时的欢声笑语恍若南柯一梦般虚幻。
喜欢电影中二人的每次对话，虽然很理想化，但都是对现实生活的一种提炼和萃取，看完以后会给你一种思考。
【I watched it, I got it. I never review it.】
疫情前看的最後一部音樂劇，緊湊又聰明的結構。最愛On the Bus。
Sex is amazing! Enjoy ourselves!学会接纳自己什么时候都不晚。不知道是不是一部话剧改编的电影，简单的场景与运镜，多数是靠台词支撑，真的更考验编剧的能力，还好撑住了。四次会面中间部分有点boring.但最后一段在咖啡馆艾玛的独白真的是让我泪目。PS：独居人士看完有点春心荡漾。虽然小伙子永远不是我的菜
与ta人发生身体和心理上连结 通过性和关系探索自己的身体 多么美好 男人的oo不是彩虹魔法棒插入一次就把你变成完全不一样的人 希望每位女性都能在人生旅程中自由探索性的领域//羡慕英国能拍出这样的电影 羡慕别国电影院和电影节能上映😢
完全的放下外界对你的看法、你对外界的看法，是很难很难的。完全看不出是表演，没有一处做作。最后一次见面的两次露胸不像同一个人。谁说是喜剧？
如果女主换成60+的老男人，男主换成22岁的美女，评价会怎样！！！！！！！！！
太棒了，希望以后歌舞剧作都能慢慢放出官摄电影！！
我真的是太吃音乐剧了，尤其是这种在舞台、道具极其简陋的情况下，完全依赖于演员超稳定的发挥、极强的信念以及精密的编排所营造出来的代入感。12位演员用相同的道具场景不停歇的完成16000人的五天生活，在一气呵成的2小时内分饰多角不出错之余还能将所饰演的角色塑造的如此鲜活丰富，太厉害了。这种彻底的塑造也落实到了现实当中，女性机长的天空之歌、躲藏的同性之恋、被排挤怀疑的种族歧视，这些都没有去刻意遮盖，而且用甘德小镇的美好真诚去突出大城市甚至是大国的狼狈。最后，以群体去片面的筛选个体虽然不公但确实是最高效的。
有深度有温度，节奏很好。编剧厉害，老妇少男的性事没有让人反感，只有美好。导演加分，在封闭空间里只通过两位演员不停的聊天，却能一直抓住观众的注意力，这是本事。演员厉害，男女主充满魅力与自信，松弛的表演让人欲罢不能。但从社会意义上讲害人不浅，少儿不宜。 2022·6·27 8.4/1.3万。短评6061条 %86/11/3 【IMDb 7.1/4700 全球票房29.16万美元】
A fantastic sexual therapy. Maybe I need it too...
3.5，前面感覺像一場囈語，男主更像是女主內心投射的幻像。
那无人知晓的地方。
我只想说四个字，职业素养。虽然有点鸡汤，但互相以温暖，互相以分享。暖心又有趣。
前半部走的情节路线，都是能预料到的，但一切直到女主开始引入真实生活，建立在虚拟人设之上的关系忽然映照到现实里，幻想被残暴撞碎，现实又如何自处，这一点正正好好才终于打到“会喜欢的电影”上。与年上发展的性式心理咨询，最终成长为心理和解，也许才是最终让人释怀的点吧。今年看到现在最喜欢的性喜剧
