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.

看完后激情推荐给好朋友,虽然我并没有达到解放的程度(看到最后几分钟,还要拉上窗帘,因为和隔壁男生宿舍的窗是相对的),但很开心看到这样的影片,世间还存在里奥这样神奇的男子,即使没有付出行动也能明白身体愉悦会给人带来的巨大改变。
过于明晰而简单,像是一种政治口号的图解。性的交流里怎么会有那么多边界清晰、分寸拿捏恰当的对话。。
I cried because it’s somehow so relatable and empowering for me对我来说比before sunrise更现实、更可能发生、更有意义、更现代的两性关系展示,一种随着成年愈发充斥我的孤独与羞耻的reflection,this is not and cannot be the solution to my problems but I’m so grateful that a movie like this can be made
非常有趣的选题,像一个都市童话。我们亚洲人日常以为欧美人自由开放,实际上世界女性大同,大家都有自己的年代痕迹和被女性身份束缚的门槛,并不能像男性那样随心所欲。南希那种渴望打破常规又局促不安的心理表现得太好了。里奥很有魅力,令人舒适,但是对比现实生活就显得有点乌托邦。取悦自己、与自己和解是女性毕生的课题。
Nancy人肉Leo的行为实则是一种生活中四处存在的道德边界感缺失的现象,导演细述了Nancy产生这种行为的背景与她心中的渴望,同时又剖开了Leo这位性工作者的过往,予以了不同的人平等且包容的凝视,从而将这种道德审判讨论引向对现实的反思。
爱岗敬业 美鸭典范。除此以外,电影对两个主角的自我价值认同及身体欲望的探讨都是一种脱离实际的臆想。男主在独处时永远会照镜子,到底是自我审视,还是自我凝视?如果所有人都认同电影所构建的价值观,便不存在说艾玛汤普森的出镜是一种牺牲,悖论就在这里。四星是给帅哥的。
三星半//虽然一切老套得就像Nancy三十几年的婚姻生活 也美妙得像虚假的童话故事 但确实有一些怪异的女性幻想 想象通过阴道走近灵魂 而大部分时刻男性也总试图告知她们性与爱的分离或者说是灵与肉的分离//当女性的精神和肉体都足够放松时 不再以挑剔以批判以审视的目光凝视自己时 性高潮不期而至 “男根虽好 我手更巧”这是苏菲科臣斯基的名言(。//sex saint在电影里好真实 不仅带来极致的生理愉悦 也带来相对的精神放松 年轻又美好的肉体 精准又安慰的话语和抚摸 在肉体按摩的同时外带心理疏导 啧啧啧 理想世界真好 合同的结束是wish you good luck
两人伴随音乐翩翩起舞时太美好了,太美好了。
想要掌控无法掌控的他人,又想要解放束缚住心灵的自己。我们都太需要找个人聊聊了。
55岁寡妇退休教师X20岁性工作者,两人的关系以及对爱和亲密关系的讨论,真的挺有意思的,情节太有魅力了,说了很多关于婚姻、亲子各方面的探讨,结局也很喜欢。
打着情色的标签,结果居然是一部温情的话痨片。所以究竟是身体上情欲的吸引更让人着迷,还是彼此挨着的耳边絮语和倾听更迷人?又或者是两者都密不可分?最棒的是最后Nancy和Leo都获得了解放。
怎么有一部作品可以将伴随女性一生的厌女及厌女的窒息感、性压抑、身体解放、亲子关系、代际差异如此自然地融合在一个故事呢?文本故事丰富而有力,即使场景单一台词繁多,看到最后已经深深地与两个人物共情了。或许都没有十分特定的情节,但人物关系的变化套路仍是一个不少。一个在心中已经死过多次的、知道自己活得单调乏味且因此痛苦不甘的女人,一个被家庭抛弃的、自小知道自己有所不同的男人,无关年龄,他们是彼此需要的。对于痛苦的个体来说,相遇已经是种解药。最后的分别时刻还怪感动的。(虽然仍有俗套的部分,但还是喜欢!
片子给我的整体感觉就是特别的干净,直接体现在画面上。
Please remember to find your pleasure.
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, yes, he's like a woman-friendly gay~
人类高质量“牛郎”,善解人意、懂得把握分寸、知书达理、身材健美、会安慰人、会调节气氛,还会心理辅导。本来是一次纯粹的肉体关系,最后却成了一趟灵修。同样的dirty words,英音的语气显得格外fancy。Nancy是那种典型的英国女性,恪守传统、循规蹈矩、甚至连性爱姿势都要列个清单,有些教条也有些迂腐。但随着探寻身体第二春的展开,过去几十年里积累的那些条条框框的生活模式逐渐被摒弃,她打开了新的人生哲学,正视自己厌恶的身体,正视那些体面的知识分子家庭的刻板,四次会面sexual fulfillment之外的谈话更像是为双方修补各自家庭里的心怀芥蒂的“母子”关系。近些年圣丹斯经常出一些冷门佳作。【WEBRip/CM/5.2GB/英字】
人物关系真是玩出花了,服务员客户、老师学生、母亲儿子、朋友陌生人,四次招妓从肉体渐入心灵,逐步融化彼此之间的隔膜和各自最在意的心结,假借这些身份的特点和变换,实际完成解放自己、正视性爱、自我和解等大主题的表达和探讨,而且台词太妙了,很有意思
老人需要做爱,太监也需要做爱,做爱是一件美妙的事情,活塞运动只是一个环节。你要正视你的欲望,你还要发泄出你的欲望,如果总是压抑自己的欲望,那和一个变态有什么分别?
