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.
怀念他们一起长大，儿时的下午最美好
很好看，是我喜欢的类型，LMM再一次正中我口味。马上迎来30岁、“想红要趁早”的焦虑，ddl逼近却写不出歌的崩溃，女友关于要不要搬去另一座城市的逼问，从小一块长大的好基友得了艾滋病的绝望...一切如同火烧眉毛交织在一起，而影片的呈现却并不显得凌乱。舞台与现实的无缝衔接，迸发出很感染人的戏剧张力，这就是天才音乐剧人的故事感和节奏感吧。片子里的歌都好好听啊！！又一张可以加入循环曲目的电影bgm。加菲虽然胶原蛋白流失了，但让我更加刮目相看，好莱坞真心没有花瓶，曾经的偶像小生也这么会唱会演。
看过rent，见到其中一版mimi的扮演者也有参演这部电影。端了五年盘子，写了最重要的那首歌，花了八年时间准备的presentation获得巨大好评，依然无法出道，所有追梦人的一个缩影。好在伯乐和朋友的鼓励让他继续坚持下去。rent的故事原来是来自他的朋友们，可惜生命停在了剧上映前一夜，好像唐涤生，天妒英才。似乎都是这样敏感、脆弱和感性。
给粉丝的一碗鸡汤，主要人物都没有什么戏份，太平淡。
音乐剧电影最关键的是歌要好听，然而这部没有。加菲怎么有一点点像脸叔了!
为今天歌唱，为明日而活。Thank you, Jonanthan
如果不是偶然接触到老师的“电影与世界六十年代”课程，我可能一辈子也不知道这部电影和这段历史。我无数次回想起2018年底开始看这堂课，进而偏执狂地搜寻有关老师的一切课程和演讲录像(感谢B站)，发表的文章，演讲稿和书，并开始艰难地阅读她那些澎湃的长句和其实有些艰涩的文章(长期阅读自媒体推文而自食恶果)，这期间我经历转岗，工作瓶颈，封锁，失业，可我仍时常觉得自己无比幸运。原来一大半友邻都跟我差不多嘛看完电影我也在想，这是导演第一次做电影，向一个陌生的领域进攻，花了很多的时间只为一个故事，就像Arikan教授二十年的钻研，总之这是一条充满人文温度的作品。
剧情也是够俗的，没想到歌舞部分更是灾难，难看又难听（歌词倒是挺有特色）。不如多拍拍加菲游泳。
歌曲的旋律不错，但歌词更像口水歌，至于人物原型，由于对舞台剧零认识，艺术家的悲歌，作品都是创作者死后才能发扬光大，身价倍增，因为已绝迹！
歌舞电影不容易走心
我觉得加菲是我今年看过的所有歌舞片里最好的非音乐剧出身的演员了，不过他和希普的声音还是跟哈金斯没法比。
电影只在结尾提了一句RENT，甚至一首RENT的原声都没出现，但是从头到尾都是RENT的影子和故事，电影本身只值三星，但是因为RENT所以值五星，也正是这部电影，终于有那么点懂RENT了，传奇即传奇本身。
我大概是对音乐剧电影免疫了，影评人评价这么好的电影也没觉得多好看😅。上次给我惊喜的音乐剧电影还是《巴黎小情歌》，可以看20遍。
今日はふたたび 來ぬものを。」
很是羡慕，生活中的一切都可以作为passion的一页篇章，或有遗憾与伤心，本可以抓住更多的时间去珍惜所有。Tick tick，曲终了…
好一般… 白男first world problems+look我有minority friends。太奇怪了 不知道是剧本有改动还是咋回事 很难想象rent的作者写出这么自怜自艾的东西…
电影似乎在回答一个问题：「即便凑合着过也会有收获，我们为何还要努力做到最好」，那就是「没有选择」，你只能在「倒数时刻」结束前耗尽自己，融化在作品里，而不仅仅是为了你一个人，也包含了朋友的牺牲和包容，伴侣的妥协与鼓励，伙伴的支持与信任，是所有的这些人和你一起，在做一件了不起的事情，这太容易让人热泪盈眶了。 在决定放弃之前，在想要贪图安逸之前，再坚持一下，再试一试，因为遵从内心是一种孤独的勇敢，只有迈过去的人，才有资格品尝胜利的果实，要记住这一点。
【6分】我理解林曼威的热情，但我感受不到。打动我的是真实的Jonathan本人，而非电影里呈现出来的角色。明明是很好的素材，但讲述的角度和方式都太一般了。作为音乐电影，音乐不出彩真的是致命问题，全片听下来，居然只有Bohemia一曲足够优秀。旋律和剧情的割裂感太强了，无法带动情绪。冗余的信息太多，真的没必要每隔20分钟就强调一次running out of time，台词多且尴尬，总感觉不像在看电影，像在看一个神经质的林曼威本人碎碎念。传记电影的通病依旧适用：配角们真的都是“配合”的存在，但在本片中，蜻蜓点水般的人物刻画甚至不能起到起码的突出主角作用。能感觉到加菲有在很努力地突破自己，但最终的表演效果也就是无功无过。真要和La La Land对比，那绝对是被吊打的程度。
虽然就是大团圆但是很喜欢！看着好开心！5555大家都成双成对了，奶奶😭南法也太美了！
这种人社会里有不少，可惜能冒尖的真是凤毛麟角；有人为他树碑立传，也不枉他人世走一圈了。
