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.
最令人称赞的是舞台设计，这么简单的 呈现形式讲了一个温情的真实故事，体现了导演的能力。
比bootleg的观感好了太多，我又从头哭到尾了。明明是在人最容易丧失尊严的时机，Newfoundland却保证了每个人的尊严。记得从超市拿除臭剂，记挂动物的安危，捐衣服，带人回家洗澡……这些远超过生存层面的援助，让人在灾难之中，依然还是个人。虽然是主旋律正能量的，但不提政府，少见组织，只是人对人的帮助。赞歌唱给的是人性，唱得真心于是我也哭得动情。与此同时，对种族/信仰歧视也提及得毫不避讳，没有妄想塑造出一个乌托邦。歌写得也是真好，意象新颖转折自然，机长的天空之歌和情侣的分别之歌，都是能听到我屏息的程度。中老年情侣也有权登上舞台也能甜得不得了啊！机长帅死了帅死了我的天她的片段我会经常温习的。【啊她果然是弯的！
O！M！G！太好看了吧！来一群陌生人的善意！太好哭了！还很幽默！又哭又笑我本人了！里面的演员唱功也太好了！特别是女飞行员那里，看哭了！N刷的歌剧！
一切都太像一部话剧了，顺理成章的职业与压抑，顺理成章的身体羞耻，顺理成章的冲突与和解，几乎就是一篇命题作文。因此尽管它提供了一个很好的观照视角，它仍然很不真实。更何况，由一个年轻貌美谈吐优雅的男娼来“解放”一个中年妇女的叙事看似惊世骇俗，实则保守（一种老男人嫖雏妓的对位叙事）。男主的形象亦颇为扁平，我们无力分清他的言行举止有多少真情实感，又有多少只是出于“职业道德”（毕竟敬业的色情演员简直不要太多）。艾玛·汤普森的演技精湛到了可歌可泣的地步，但本片的深度也就止步于此了。毕竟诚如戴老师所言，“我不相信消费能提高女性的地位”；钟点一到，女老师裸身自鉴无比洒脱，然而这究竟是“犹可脱也”还是“不可脱也”？
#22#44一开始还端着大有劝鸭从良的扭捏和矫情，最终还是成功和自我和解。大抵曾经有过类似的经历，当然没有钱。“性圣人”的背后是对对面女性莫大的尊重，也是对自己真实生活中不堪的一种逃离。而在这过程中，能相互慰藉实属幸事。然而，现实中抽离时难像故事中那样美好平和，有人会认真就注定有人会受伤
好的卡司确实能够掩盖剧本的局促，并且让影像高于平庸版本的真正舞台。2001-2011-2021，时代U字回转。
上帝为阻止人类团结共筑巴别塔，创造了不同语言，然而却又用共同编码的圣经，打破了自己打造的藩篱。
原来还有这样一段历史。演员都好出色，音乐都很好听。哎还是希望love & peace吧
男主真是好性感，就像女主所形容的，简直就是sex saint！诚然这部电影就像一场巨大的意淫，但是关于女性对自身欲望的探索和释放实在是太真实了。我不知道还有多少女孩会对性感到不洁和羞耻，但如果这种性压抑像片中的女主那样伴随大半辈子，未免太可惜了。其实男主说的很对，在这件事中我们应该卸下那些现实身份，性需要的是fantasy，这和我们生活中做什么职业或是扮演什么角色都无关。不过中间略感到尴尬的是女主试图和男主“交心”，这里的窘迫在于打破了一种去现实化的fantasy，把现实身份引入了性中。试想一下如果我在做爱的时候对方突然问我在哪个公司工作，应该也是挺让人下头的。当然了我不否认有这些时刻存在，但对于我来说最好的体验的确就是专注，就像坐在电影院里沉浸式看电影那样，just enjoy it！
电影本质上跟男主是一样的，提供一种幻想服务，重点是 find your pleasure and honor it
"A powerful celebration of humanity."
曾经买了票却因为疫情取消的巡演；小成本制作的最佳效果；一群人演一群人、每个人都是主角、所有的“自己”都是“别人”……令人惊喜的新形式，甚至还歪打正着地蕴含了某种深度，不禁让人感叹，剧场到底还能玩出多少新花样？缺点是三观过正、略显说教……非常怀念音乐剧现场——911事件二十周年纪念日看“官摄版”
机长原型说她看了这部戏101次，它没有让人沉溺在悲伤里喘不过气。自始至终靠的是人性本身的脆弱、敏感、真实和温暖在打动观众。911过去了二十年，但人类还是有点希望的，不是吗？
两个相互有秘密的人，通过年龄差的欲望，还有所谓正常社会秩序下的面具人类，放下了一切墨守成规，彼此放下戒备也相互治愈。性就像是空气，享受愉悦，而不是享受禁锢享受混乱。残酷的是现实生活里可没这么高质量的牛郎哦吼吼！
男人再帅也是前戏，高潮还是得DIY，这种灵肉合一的短暂共生关系，可遇不可求啊
好真诚的话剧电影，男女主的化学反应很妙，对白和互动让人数度落泪… 女性意识觉醒之后的自信和自爱真的会发光~ Leo这样的Public Service上哪儿领？
男主有点帅，拍得很好笑！确实一些难以启齿的正常需求不会得到正视，regulated and safe太理想了哈哈
电影本质上跟男主是一样的，提供一种幻想服务，重点是 find your pleasure and honor it
拜托更多的宽街剧向cfa和ham看齐吧！（有生之年还能看到宽街版aia官摄吗🥺
导演敢拍宗教女教师召妓，豆瓣却容不下男妓二字，也是很讽刺
