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.
网络大电影在重重限制下还能拍出罗生门的感觉 值得支持
故事不复杂，但是赢在了叙事结构上，非常引人入胜，比起许多国产院线恐怖片的一惊一乍，这个故事显得有诚意多了。多给一星，是来自恐怖片爱好者的鼓励。
虽然套用了罗生门的内核。但是编导非常用心。很有诚意、很花心思的把各个情节巧妙的连接。摄影和配乐以及演的都不错。希望越来越多这样的国产电影
真相在最后。中国大陆网大拍成这样就可以了。
苍白，孱弱，性无能，以工业垃圾与生物排泄物为食...人类再经过无数次的自我改造与反叛后，一种美丽而胶质化的新生命诞生了
虽然受限不能有鬼，但是叙事逻辑还是可以的，多视角讲故事还是有用过心的。想看狐狸大仙！希望狐狸最后还是出来一下的。3.5分可以有。
最近想看中式恐怖，这部还不错。可惜就是已经看了剧透了，所以冲击少了很多。完全不恐怖。欠缺的点是，人物性格太扁平，也可能是因为不符合我的认知，不理解为什么救济了三年还能如此忘恩负义。穷山恶水出刁民吗？
和《欲望号快车》一脉相承，理解不来的扭曲的性和暴力，一样觉得肉疼和不安。
罗生门式的形式，传统团圆式的结局。好人命不长，坏人倒也没遗千年。就是最后一段在街上所有人都活着的结尾没看懂，弹幕说是为了过审，但过审用得剧情能跟前面衔接吧。总体来说还行，坏人坏的很彻底，好人好的很可怜。
粗糙但是挺有趣，不要被名字迷糊。不能有鬼，但是不糊弄人。事实证明带着镣铐跳舞也能跳的好。
柯南伯格一拍脑门又想出个牛逼的故事梗概，可惜老年男性的想象力实在有限，除了展示人体器官以外也做不出什么惊世骇俗的东西，于是让演员用故弄玄虚的气泡音从头到尾说形容词。由于本片的衬托，《钛》更加牛逼了。
现行审查制度下戴镣铐跳舞的诚意之作！视效剧情表演都不错，少许bug瑕不掩瑜～ 罗生门即视感，中间客栈烤全羊桥段印象深刻！人心，从来比鬼狐仙怪更为险恶～ 3.5
有个反思的点，一味的帮助别人，最后反而被其所害。让恶人自食恶果，也是宗旨了。
善恶终有报，人心换人心。国产片能拍成这样罗生门还是不错了。
痛觉丧失，器官增殖；身体艺术导向身体政治，由摘除展示到主体性构建；官僚体系化注册监管，将超常之物置换为亵渎之物；睡眠/消化辅助装置消费资本主义corporation与corpse同一词根，将人类自主进化的所有可能修正回尸体；自然的非自然遗传造物，终能消化纯人工造物……感觉看到八十年代的柯南伯格回魂，有点感动
拍的真的还不错诶！！事实证明人比鬼可怕多了
到最后逻辑都通了。最后的那一幕美好的情景我理解为乌托邦吧。可惜没看到美丽的狐妖，有点伤
依然是“身体恐怖”的柯南伯格，只是这次一点也不恐怖。进化论、内在美、新罪行——左、中、右安排得明明白白的政治隐喻。手术即性爱的概念就像空壳，说真的还不如钛呢，好歹钛是人跟车做爱。看完我也想吃塑料了...
全程在摄影棚内完成，假背景+CGI，柯南伯格未来版《Crash》，小K奉献激情戏
其实还行的，表面鬼怪实则全是人心。比好些个大牌商业片好多了4星鼓励一下
