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.
社会派大多相对而言悬疑感就会弱一些——这部看到一半就猜到了——还是要靠“背后的故事”来取胜。而这部背后的故事，大约就是震灾过后每个人内心深处的PTSD，好人与恶人并无清晰界限，守望相助的短暂幸福感可能也无法救人，霓虹社会保障制度的弊端。10年过去伤痕也不会消失，不同的人选择了不同的埋藏安抚方式。其他好像并没有被震撼到。
2021年个人心目中最好的国产电影。让人想起千禧年后的华语电影叙事，浪漫且感人。剧作绝佳，节奏极好，人物塑造不俗。两个多小时一点也不觉得长。很难想象这是王朔的作品，去掉油腻，这么深情且富有才华。悲哀的是现在已经不被观众所接受，这么好的作品没能被更多人看到，一想到这就没劲了。
这是一部奇特的电影，套着爱情片的壳，讲了一个生与死的哲学故事。不了解王朔的人可能看得一头雾水，我很喜欢。
很不错看的电影，讲的很深入，探究社会和政府福利的问题:低保的申请以及发放，老奶奶生活困难却因为福利部的推脱以及对抛弃的女人的面子问题无法申请到低保导致死亡引发了一些列的杀人案件，最后不在于杀人凶手有多凶残，而在地震后政府的不作为未对困难的人给予应有的保障。kaya酱演的真棒！！！尤其绑架那时候眼神很到位，不愧是最佳女配角，实至名归！！！
上海疫情被封了半个多月了，深有感触。天灾大家没办法，这人祸谁能释怀（喜欢这群演员）
11年前，我才回国不久，还是一个自以为是的人，以愤青为面具，以国仇为借口，用冷漠和略带不屑的眼光打量着311大地震和后续的福岛核泄露。今天，我自己在上海，也亲历着一场人为的小灾难，才对当年的无辜的人有了一点点感同身受。不敢说今天的我已经不再自以为是，但起码已经了解，自己是浅薄的。
今时今日，看到这样一部电影，真当过于合适了。一个良性社会，是要为最卑微的人强势托底，让他们别活活饿死在家中，拥有体面的生存方式，仅此而已。
十多年前台湾有个得奬广告《不老骑士》。谐音梗是流行还是显得创作者很有文化？导演编剧连个名字都懒得认真想了吗？
不老pk骑士。你想鸟枪换炮骑大马，我想借你脐带血用一用。小说、摇滚、杂志...反正不拍电影🎬
（另，阿部宽出来一时还怀疑这是不是 新参者 的电影版。。
全明星没能完成应该有的架构，灾后重建人心，但是无法治愈伤痕
真是绕来绕去，日本犯罪片的老手法了，无趣。
王珞丹演的好，世事变迁，不同时代的苏凌芳有着不同的特点。
故事编排没有重点 体现了“泛” 但见不到“深” 即便在每个人都很疲累的震后 依然有尤其需要被保护的人 议员道歉的说服力只有吉冈秀隆苦大仇深的脸在支撑 忘年三人的羁绊也展现得不够 因为给果耶撸了几个奖所以两星打不下去手 但是对濑濑敬久真的不能有什么期待 明明认出了抽屉宣传册上的西田尚美但没有反应过来也是我自己的错
15-098日本《致那些得不到保护的人》
一个真敢写，一个真敢拍，两个真敢演。 就算能解读出点啥也不能掩盖整片乱七八糟的感觉。。
一部文艺气息下的爱情科教片。部分台词功底真的不错，看得出是王朔的手笔。后半段突然狗血剧情，莫名其妙就人体实验了，还不记录不告诉同伴。好好拍成文艺爱情片挺好的，干嘛整这一出“代孕”戏。
Jung的如是说：看的时候我一直在想如果人不会衰老，那人是不是学会的就是放弃生命，死亡是一种浪漫。
分几层来看这个电影哦，导演的能力不足应该扣两颗星，但是全员细腻演技又能补回来一颗心，说是悬疑那就是笑话了，导演想要把立意拔得很高，但是又讲不好故事。我本来是不那么喜欢短发造型的tkr的，但又因为感觉这个故事能和最近的上海共情，就看了，然后就拜倒在tkr的演技下了，全程没有什么妆造的变化，也没有浮于表面的情绪波澜，是以一种进入角色的方式，把他演绎出来。tkr真的是天赋型的演员啊，老天爷追着喂饭吃的那种吧！
是多么匮乏的镜头语言，才需要这样多的旁白来叙事
