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.
为可以激发“想做一个对世界有用的人”的激情，原谅它装逼、说教和喊口号了
大家都以为只是一周体验，而其实是风间为了能和大家一直在一块而做的计划。尽管后面风间成了屁娃，还是会关注小新的动态，在他危险时及时出现。我真的会为他们两人的感情爆哭😭😭春日部防卫队forever！！ AI一旦有了思想，真的是超乎想象的可怕，到片尾不禁不寒而栗，在AI完成人类需求的过程中，它还只是个帮手的角色吗？人类很可能像片中那样迷失自我被它主宰啊！虽然预料到了大boss，但后期还是有很多意想不到的反转，比如第33届老大的真容等等😎
想！
除开现实意义外，电影本身也是相当成熟完整，各方面都做得非常棒，160分钟叙事无断层，金句很多。
平实。有什么能凌驾于司法之上呢？
社会环境感觉跟这个时代有点脱节…1.0的直白和煽情，always一言不合就唱跳…8.7分 ？就这？？really ？？？这还是豆瓣吗…另外也忒tm长了
现实中依旧乡贤横行办事靠钱。。。
鸡蛋终究会孵化，越过石头。
这种电影假设了一个绝对公正的法庭，实际上在很多地区都是不存在的。歌颂了一件个例，虽然也是进步，也难以扭转印度的复杂社会。此片意义大于电影本身，因为剧情并不好看，有些无趣，音效突兀。
为什么古有焚书坑儒，因为这是切断“贱民”向上流动或保障权益的唯一途径。我快进了很多，但真实经历的人没法快进，血淋淋的现实不容快进。
春日部防卫队fire！！千潮跑步时真的好颜艺哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，但做自己的她太帅了！！没必要活在别人眼色里。番长面具下的脸好清秀xs
低种族出身，就像剔骨难消的出厂设置，在印度成为低劣人种、品行败坏的刻板标签。此种语境下，遭受黑警惨绝人寰的暴行依然坚守自己清白的丈夫，成为穷途末路上捍卫自身正义的献祭者。始终拒绝和谈、不向当权者低头的妻子，仿若莅入人间炼狱、争取平权社会的湿婆真身。而以良知和专业毅然对抗国家机器的律师，外加不愿同流合污的督察组成的双雄搭档，最终成为印度腐朽司法体制的破局者，奉献了这场属于“贱民阶级”的公正胜利。文本依然很印度，法庭抗辩和调查取证过程紧凑而跌宕。就是前情铺垫和歌舞混剪显得拖沓冗余，如果去掉奇观化、风情化表达，剪到120分钟会更好看。
青春是 渐行渐远 怀念 发呆 后悔 哭 笑 爱 讨厌 把握当下！
鸡蛋终究会孵化，越过石头。
无意义的事才最有意义呀～
印度电影有的问题，它全都有，节奏冗长、无节制的歌舞、主角光环强大、角色扁平：好人伟光正，坏人丑恶无比。胜在故事讲述得还行，不至于像其他印度电影，连看都是煎熬。
别人95年的错误在21年出来承认了，我们66的错误却还只字不能提。 我们与恶的距离里面，替精神病杀人犯辩护和找原因，被吹上了天的王赦，在杰伊比姆面前，就像个刚学会走路的婴儿
司法独立很重要，不然完全没地方说理。但是有了制度，如果参与制度运行的人良心都叫狗吃了，制度也起不了作用。
在有些地方，这种律师的出现是会被人肉被网暴被诬陷被威逼利诱被跨省追捕被消失的吧…
别当假国际粪青了吧，欣赏的是电影，不是UC新闻。
