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.
极度震撼，直面苦难！把人性在体制引发的问题面前深刻显露！
超级好看，整个案件逻辑清楚反转合适，恶是真恶，善也是真善！
都是黑白，但是比起影真的高级的多。想起我们国家那些被贬的文人，拍一个他们的故事有那么难吗。
不管何等贫穷与落后，只要有民主制度，有反叛精神，就还有希望。
黑白影片融入了晴朗与睿智，知识不是用来压迫子民，而是用来造福百姓。
根据真实故事改编，让人又相信了理想主义，虽然电影难免会用煽情和英雄弧光来表现这样的题材，但能被允许拍下来至少还不是毫无希望，同时能呼吁更多的人去关注少数族群被忽视的权益，故事难得还保证了推理的逻辑性，在追逐真相与公平的路上残酷现实暴露狰狞面容，所以法庭戏才会更显酣畅。

对封建帝制，儒家思想的批判，韩国电影还是这样一骑绝尘。

误杀3有了，印度政府怎么放任这些辱印电影全世界传播？
现实意义固然重大，但作为一部电影、一个故事，刻板是它的致命缺陷。主角基本就不是个活人，而是一个兼具侦探和律师双重身份、金光闪闪的神祇。叙事节奏也过分拖沓，充满了无关紧要的细枝末节。但我同时仿佛也能够听见印度电影人在说：是的，这片土地上充满了苦难、屈辱、不公和腐败，但所幸我们还有独立的司法和批评的权利。浑浊的黑暗中仍有光芒存在，愤怒终有回响。那至少在这一点上，我羡慕他们。
便归来，平生万事，那堪回首。只绝塞，行路悠悠，苦寒难受。冰霜摧折，早衰蒲柳。置此札，君怀袖。词赋从今须少作，留取心魂相守。薄命长辞君子别，问人生，到此凄凉否。我亦飘零久，深恩负尽，死生师友。千万恨，为君剖。言不尽，观顿首。
韩国电影人比韩国民众更实事求是。这不算贬低，事实上韩国电影工业化以来，电影每每走到民族意识的最开头，在大部分人还未曾觉醒时（就像电影里所呈现的那样），扮演好一个传教者，师者。对于民族文化这部分，身为中国人会很奇怪，对韩国包括日本和自己国家的忽远忽近的关联有所怀疑，明明相似却又不同。但电影的核心部分，也未曾回避的部分，应该不是争抢“传统”，二是“挑选”价值为己所“用”。本片也恰好的站好了“艺术”同商业之间微妙的平衡，呈现一种“禅”劲。
看之前被豆瓣的长短评把期待值拉得挺满，实际看下来觉得挺中规中矩的。不过，难得也是这般中规中矩，的确呈现了一种汉儒在观众心目中应然而然该有的调性。尤其这种调性颠覆了中国影视剧中什么纪晓岚、何坤之类的角色，看起来特别耳目一新。是个好片子。
3.5，看到两个推荐说“中国没拍出的士大夫韩国拍出了”虽然但是…电影里都交代了朝鲜是两班贵族门阀执政了，朝鲜“士大夫”和宋以来的士大夫真不是同一个性质…说回电影，比较有意思的是丁若铨对西学和实学的态度，可对照明末士大夫，可惜最后被用来和昌大这条明显煽情的线索对冲了。
可说是中国古典文学爱好者必看影片。以前对韩国电影有个挥之不去的印象就是小器，看上去深刻但无大气象，这部完全使我改观，感动之余又觉得遗憾。感动是因电影本身传达的内容，遗憾是以后如果有人问我有没有讲述中国古代文人的电影，我会跟他推荐《兹山鱼谱》，中国古代那么多的人物故事，大如宋应星《天工开物》，郦道元《水经注》，小如历朝历代无数位文人匠师所著典籍，却无对应的好电影呈现，如何不遗憾？这并非执着中韩电影差异。古代文人寄情于山水是有复杂原因的，不仅是因为山水怡情，也是因为现实无情。山水永远无私，一个人无论是什么身份地位，无论他苦乐与否，都可以在山水自然中找到安慰——既是生理上，也在个人价值和灵魂，这也是田园山水诗的地位如此之高的原因。近年中国一直宣扬传统文化，但恕我直言，这样的电影目前我国是看不到的。

于国家是罪人，在我家就是客人。想要抓住泥鳅，要先进入泥水之中，亦未必非要如鹤般生活。
看完边吃火锅边写下这些，思绪仍然沉浸在兹山岛上，回味着观影时起鸡皮和捂嘴惊叹的时刻。
