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.

有点没必要的长，闪回也觉得不是很必要，时间线混乱，还有别人提到的妆造问题 让人无法第一时间分清时间线。
女主太灵了吧！小小的身体，大大的能量。导演很会通过小动作和镜头塑造人物，全程不累！很难得的一部人工智能+女性话题的片子，小而美。
The worst thing you can do is being messy and boring at the same time. 在整个female narration 里最powerful的那一刻是rejection的那一刻，这是连Sorkin的逃不开的桎梏
covid-19、Metoo、大数据、《后窗》的大背景杂糅+女性反杀主线。给死宅的启示或许有：勤运动多锻炼，要当技术宅，改用智能家居。

就欣赏妮可吧 她的腿几乎到了一般人胸的高度
+0.5 哇是久违的很单纯的不断迭代的悬疑感（而且是在感人的90min时长内！covid/tech元素也很自然不觉得烦
妮可基德曼太美了~~~果然，男人靠不住，唉
没看懂，中间瞌睡虫和进度条争相领先。
被妮可这个人物打动了，姐姐棒棒，还是4星吧。一个在肥皂剧里面演傻blondie的她其实是这个世界上最有独立意识的女人。她一幕又一幕地磨剧集，果然认真是最动人的。还有承认自己是communist，她一次又一次证明自己不是dummy。心碎的是为了观众一群最优秀的女性不得不掩盖自己的才华，她们仨并排坐的时候，有心痛到。但总的来说我对这个电视的韶华时代couldnt care less. 三段插叙的结构还是好玩，但太多内部梗了，仿佛在看60年代的snl，我猜可能就是要做一个对比：电视剧里的silly jokes 和拍剧时的辛辣讽刺。问题是，我都get不到，得拍给老美国电视迷才懂吧。（补充：那是一个大演员时代，但也看出男的傻子在行业里的统治地位，事实证明女的也有（更有）喜剧才华
剧情很boring 为了冲奥而冲奥的电影
访谈+7天戏中戏，看完反应，就这？浪费时间。
工业化流水线糖精片Marry Me在豆瓣上都能6.4，这片才6.3？后窗+凶线+窃听大阴谋+COVID-19+siri+索德伯格视听三板斧=KIMI。谈不上多好，但在所有好莱坞大厂和流媒体都在拍漫威质感流水线电影的时代能看一部至少视听上不那么快餐化的类型片也算是不错的娱乐。PS, 说最后反转没铺垫的没看之前和装修工头的那番通话吧？PPS, 无限期待《新蝙蝠侠》里佐伊.克洛维兹演的猫女。
昨晚看的，现在依然沉浸在后半段的悲伤情绪里出不来。我觉得妮可好的地方在于，她演的是一个真正的女人，锁金写剧本先把她当做一个女人再去填充其他符号，但是电影前半段确实拖沓没重点，虽然我觉得这是今年好莱坞少有的真正写女人的电影。Kidman除了长得不像，口音学的不错诶，而且声音本来就像，真正情景剧的场景不多，所以还好。如果Debra Messing来演肯定演不了这么好，毕竟她只是喜剧演员
以为是人工智能的惊悚片，结果kimi就是个高速响应plus人工即时纠错版的Siri，有点无语，可能深意主要还是在于当今时代个人信息和隐私泄露的反思吧。不过也正是有获取信息的漏洞主角才能从蛛丝马迹中发现犯罪事实。说来仍是基本相信技术是中性的，会发生什么全看人和人规定的制度。btw这电影一半时间都在铺垫，好在后半段的追逃挺赞的。
我不了解索德伯格 也还没看《性谎言录像带》 但一个60后导演的新片镜头质感新潮且把女主出家门那段（仅针对女主一人心理上）的紧张感表现得挺到位 感觉难能可贵
這部因為有這群戲精 而精彩 JK西 哈維爾 貢獻出很精彩的表演 當然靈魂嬌點 妮可 真是一有她 整個抓住眼球 期待二封奧斯卡
有技巧有隐喻有思考，但是文本实在太单薄，撑不起来，缺点难以忽视。
后疫情时代、无孔不入的语音助手与Metoo，Kimi确实是一部充满时代气息的作品。希区柯克式的视听语言无处不在，这一点很让人喜欢。
