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.
不错的电影，构图精美，剧情也可以，结局一个反转，演员演技秒了那些流量明星
林音的演员台词功底真不错，一看简介演话剧出身的。。。。
画像师也是一个非常特殊的职业，这不仅仅是人物的简单描绘，更是可以讲一个人的精气神透露出来。
编剧: 张良学 / 贺泉 / 吴童立
年代感十足，布景很用心，湖北80年代的县城。演技在线，故事讲清楚了。
我觉得这个选角很厉害。一个真就看长相就有种淡淡的哀愁，一个就天真。也可能是妆造的力量吧
在今年如此荒凉贫瘠的电影市场上能够出现这样一部片子，实在令人感动。私心想打三星，可剧作实在漏洞百出，逻辑不通顺处太多，带有文艺倾向的表达中又时时透露出学生感的幼稚，就片论片，还是两星，但依然希望未来国产电影中诸如此类的“非主流叙事”影片越来越多。
剧情bug太多就不说了，导演是怎么找到化了妆都几乎长得一毛一样的女演员的？
细节有余，悬念不足。成为另一个人也许是中心，但到底什么才是艺术也是暗线。舞台上的舞蹈是，画像师的模拟像呢？
即要文艺又要杀人回忆那种真实的惊悚感，结果就是两不沾，内核故事还是时代伤疤。一些反转和暗喻太过于缺乏逻辑和铺垫，不过现在国产电影需要这种风格突出的类型片，中国悬疑电影可期。
摄影相当厉害，故事本身有趣，演员演技也过关，相较于悬疑，这真是个不错的剧情片，是一部值得上院线的片子。女二那个演员可谓是远山淡影。
刑侦这块子跟小孩过家家差不多，想表达的东西都不如拍个鬼片更合适。
这不是悬疑片，而是文艺片。拖沓冗长，多一星给摄影。一早就猜到是身份互换的梗
怎么 怎么说呢 能看得出来努力文艺的痕迹但用力过猛就会让人觉得很无聊 结尾的反转还可以 但是剧情的人物关系很牵强 两天前看的到现在都不记得具体发生了什么

画面很有质感，逻辑上确实bug太多，但作为网大电影，值得鼓励，多给一星
当成文艺片看还行，当成悬疑片看，破绽太多。
节奏，构图，光影我都喜欢，太多的意境表达，文艺气息扑面而来，但就悬疑片来说，刻意的设制镜头语言，过早的暴露了结局，败笔。
值得一看，有悬疑成分，但同时也在诉说那个年代的情怀
咋说呢…镜头真的好生涩，感觉一下就能看出来导演没拍过多少片子，结果点开导演主页一看，果然是…有《杀人回忆》的滤镜，没有其内涵。如果单纯当作悬疑片来看也有点牵强，觉得人物在被剧本推着走，很机械的感觉。三颗星，全给那段舞。
