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.
谁和我一样只是一个瞎起哄的文青，眼见都不一定为实，何况是在政治乌云下布的局。网络时代不做那个带节奏的愤怒青年！
真相的多次反转，将故事的不同片段拼凑成完整的故事，不同的角度看到的是完全不同的故事，从英雄到黑手再到英雄，冒头仍然直指盘踞多年的种姓制度，不仅是好人受到种姓制度的伤害，哪怕是坏人也如此。女性歧视、高校腐败、政治黑暗、无良媒体、高压手段等等社会问题都集中展现出来。电影未必值得这么高的分数，不过却散发出了与种姓制度抗争到底的点点火种，时间的设定如此的近也説明了问题的根深蒂固以及任重道远，也有对未来胜利的期待
且不说这部电影拍得多好了，咱们国家是说都说不得，更别说拍电影了，笑死。
片尾曲不错。
总体观感不如杰伊比姆。反转还是很多，副督察从正义到邪恶再到良心发现，瘸腿律师从出场看着像个正派，说话像个反派，抽丝剥茧还原了副督察给的真相。新闻媒体和警察操纵了真相，程序正义的重要性。
好糟糕劣质的节奏…不是好电影，哪里体现了敢讲？ 就像是营销号的知识量，也就糊弄天朝电影爱好者，大清都亡了！还闭着眼。
电影—振聋发聩！现实—印度政府：你们尽管拍，有什么改变算我输。
剧本很厉害，用一个案件包裹更大的案件，个体的丑恶撕开体制的丑恶。有金句有情绪点，但手法还是陈旧了些，最后二十分钟凌乱了些。但这样的“社会现实主义”电影也可以开发系列是我所始料未及的，印度电影掌握流量密码了。
一碗丰盛的麻辣烫，有女性议题，政治议题，媒体议题……警察冲动杀人确实一开始就不可信，果然反转了，律师那么神能弄明白事件全过程也不可信，后面也圆回来了，除了结尾有点理想主义喊口号，前面都很好，政治🟰黑暗，在哪个国家都是一样的，至少印度端出来这么一碗诚意满满的麻辣烫（不输韩国）而且，画面还蛮干净，真的是第一次见到……
ET+Wall-E+末世余生，以汤姆汉克斯的气场在，不需要其他演员😂。
我钦佩于他们这样大胆全面的反思 钦佩于他们对不说不的勇气 也敬佩于对真理的深刻探讨
让提出问题的人闭嘴的政治
虽然影片时间确实太长了点，但整个故事结构还是不错的，一部反映社会现实问题的电影，竟然还整出了反转的效果。看到一半时，出现法庭戏，一开始还感觉割裂感太严重，悬疑剧一下子变法庭辩论剧了，但没想到弄出反转来了，还反转得挺好，和前面的一些细节也对上了，当然通过不停的闪回来补充说明细节还是不够自信。总的来说，是部好片子，敢拍也拍得好，推荐！另外，男主和女主的颜值是真高啊！
女性，种姓（阶级），舆论，法庭公正……每个点因为印度的真实数据支撑而都被打响。每15分钟都有一个女人被强奸、三岁女婴奸杀案……这样的国家拍出了这样的影片真的也就印度了。P.S. 宝莱坞虽然不再跳舞，但BGM还是非常有特点，不知道能不能在不久的将来也去掉。
对我个人来言，是继18年《我不是药神》后看过最好的电影，没有之一，160分钟的片长，几度反转。电影拍到这个份上，我甚至想不出用什么词语来形容他了。中国人会不由自主的联想到最近的唐山事件，强烈推荐。
以为是个简单的反强暴反性侵的电影，谁知道上升到了腐败，还有警察良心的事。为了权利，几个屁民的生命算什么呢，幸好正义胜利了。
这里面有种姓问题也有性别问题，但核心的还是法律程序问题。虽然程序正义未必就是实质正义，但程序正义是最接近实质正义的方式，没有程序正义，任何人所以为的正义也都是以为而已。
男主开头生活环境不错，还能制造高端人工智能！可是为了尘暴和情怀突然出走，途中回忆狗的由来，快到目的地了，紫外线又不强了！逻辑不通畅，缺乏说服力，一度想打低星。又想到，将死之人，行为逻辑可以理解。不禁感叹，这个人工智能，真好啊！！！！
创作者的技法显然都撑不起表达欲，
