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.
我不知道那些给差评的人是多冷漠。。这么好的一个片子还要评价电影效果，评价是否按原著拍出来。。真的够了。。这片子反应的很现实，看了心里特别不舒服。。也很能理解小干，在震后失去父母，只有惠姨和泰久相依为命。。使他又重新感到了温暖。。但现实社会很残酷。。我觉得这个片子应该在中国上映。。让国人有所警示，不要再继续让我们这个社会变得冷漠！残忍！每一个人都是应该存在的！不应该被无情淘汰！弱肉强食！那是动物！不是人！

清源果耶演得挺出彩的，砂糖和宽叔的人设一般般，感觉整个故事杀人动机太弱了……就A太他们也是按照流程公事公办，毕竟有时候基层人员真的也无能为力，何况还有那么多骗低保的人。但是比起那些骗子，有些真的困难的人不好意思要郭嘉照顾所以不敢开口申请补助这个体面感确实挺让人心疼的，只是工作人员也没办法；何况干酱跟他们共事那么久也能知道他们并不是该死的坏人，要发声也不该用这种方式。整体动机薄弱悬疑感一般般，不过还是挺现实挺无奈的，看完有些难受，那种无力感哈哈哈。全球人口老龄化以后大概更难了orz
没当推理片看。一个小之又小，但深之又深，痛之又痛，难以真正触碰、期待触碰、又拒绝触碰的社会切片。不是只有地震海啸才能揭开的疮疤，是揭不揭开都存在的无法愈合的创口。不是只有那里这样，只有他们这样，只有当时这样。不过就电影本身而言，角色的单薄和矛盾确实是问题，依然很仓促。
前一小时我简直哭不停
很愛小說，但電影跟小說差太多....很多關鍵細節都沒拍出來，看完頗失望。
三星半，故事题材很好，拍的不咋地。想到了现下的上海疫情，得不到保护的人们该有多挣扎。
浮于表面。砂糖表演痕迹真的有点重，倒是清原比较自然
不是什么剧都适合改电影啊，DEH尤其是……既然要做电影，不如直接按原著来把Connor的暗线全部拍出来，丰富得多。Murphy父母演得跟玩儿似的，看起来就真的不像死了儿子，真像把Evan当儿子了。
真正需要低保救济金的人的死活，骗保这笔钱的人毫不关心，发放这笔钱的人不够关心。
很骨感的现实问题，在哪里都是，但有什么比生命更重要呢？阿部宽、佐藤健和清原果耶三个人的戏份比较平均，所以整体结构比较散，叙事结构还是比较棒的时间线来回穿插相辅相成。清原果耶演技爆炸，笑颜无敌。
人都是自己孤零零地死掉了。
致那些应该是导演想说的有着因果联系两类人，影片题材真实，写实刻画的真切，中规中矩…
我愿称其为社会派犯罪题材。（真不是看了社会派推理的问题）影片从两个主角，两条时间线交错的方式推进，最大的特点还是在于循序渐进的节奏恰到好处的解释了作案动机。 多加一分给两位主角最后海边的那场戏。演技爆表，这都是什么神仙演技，配合最后手表的那一声，真的哭了好吗
请为了哪怕一点点的温暖，好好活下去吧。
一场地震改变了一切，脆弱的保障体系值得深思
普通如白开水一般无味，可能日本人有情感共鸣会觉得好看。
不尽人意的剧改歌舞片，镜头单调乏味毫无生气，重心都放在了Evan上，但本普拉特确实不适合演高中生了
原以为说节奏快的犯罪片，但没想到是人文片，节奏太慢了，我妈看到睡着了。场景来回切换，我都搞晕了，不知道是现实还是回忆。总体而言一般般，泪点也不是特别打动人。
这次看的讽刺意味更强了 connor's dead and he will never be found 那些令人感动的东西都是假的 当你从树上摔下来 没有人会在那里 当你拼命挥手 nobodys waving back to you
