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.
“你病了？”
我们前行
无疑比蒙吉要差，除了直观的身体疼痛之外还剩下什么呢
这是一部恐怖片！一种只会缠上女人的病，一种把女人变成家庭主妇的病。
身体政治是女主角最后的防线和底限。当片头她的课堂回答像个男性一样的口吻时，全片最狠的人物形象已经在不经意间给立了起来。2021年度最佳没有之一，其次才是世界上最糟糕的人。
配乐，表演，镜头，剪辑都可圈可点。这个星球上的女性，遭受了太多。
结尾最不经意的一句:流产的判定，却成为全片最暖的一处。关于疼痛，触觉的电影
同类题材的看过《四月三周两天》，宗教的力量，社会议论的力量，各种交错在一起，现实中的女主承受的更多，电影里无法全部展现。上个世纪六十年代，这样的故事放在中国感觉能成立，没想到，西方国家也是这个德性，也可能更厉害。
很特別的呈現方式，電影再說著墮胎對社會價值顛覆的嚴重性，但卻用近景表現出很私人的感覺。兩種方式對比起來，令人有一種糾錯的感覺。
上一部这种题材，这么深刻的电影还是四月三周两天
在他们之上 我们读道
焦点很浅，景别很紧，这点蛮统一的，表现女主与周遭的隔绝与无助很到位，但没太理解为啥镜头总是对着女主的上半身甚至面部，连个全身镜头都没，放大其情绪吗？没想到最后给到帮助的是风流男同学。随着计时的推进，境遇恶化时伴随着异样的配乐。好像当前版本比电影节删掉了几分钟最“疼”的，引起的生理不适比《钛》还是少多了。7.5/10
迎来了一个“自然流产”的定论
全程怼女主拍 镜头和故事都比较单调 没啥兴趣。
1. 法国版 四月三周两天，女性问题不是社会主义国家的专属议题，而是整个世界的议题。堕胎政策永远是是衡量一个国家女性权益的重要标尺。2. 如 钛，又一部以身体疼痛为主题的电影，唯有疼痛能使感同身受成为可能，进而用疼痛来置换社会的改善。3. 女主的勇敢来自于女性主义的内核，即选择自己的生活。作为观众我会自我妥协，指腹为婚是个不是办法的办法。但女性主义的响亮声音正在女主人公的执着和缄默中涌动着，就像电影在配乐上的极度克制和惊弦之声。
近两年看了不少堕胎片，除了更痛的观感似乎也无甚亮点，有相像情节的女人韵事和432都比这强太多了……
又一次逼视女性堕胎权，又一次咬紧牙关才能抵御只有女性才能体会到的从身到心的切身疼痛。生命政治的管控技术越来越多样，它靶向历史的、性别化的身体脆弱性。堕胎这一本属于女性身体的自主选择权，如今竟再次沦为医疗、伦理、宗教和国家机器争相抢夺的身体政治战场前线。那些对子宫的践踏和控制者曾经盘踞和凌驾于女性生命健康之上，鞭指已沦为权力客体的母职受惩者。可悲的是，六十年过去了，如今这一切依旧在发生。
全程心惊肉跳 所有的一切都要女孩一个人去面对 孤单 无助 绝望 一路都是男性的甩锅 撇清关系 如果与《从不，很少，有时，总是》一同服用 恐惧加倍耶
不同国家的女性，都是男权政策的受害者……影片最后男医生说的"自然流产"，我真的是想骂人，一个年华正好的女性的生死命运被他人掌握……
电影色调很好看，一些镜头下的人物近摄很美，故事情节很简单，聚焦于女性背负人权的重压，无奈的煎熬，只有拼死一搏，杀出血路。
