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.
一种只会攻击女人的病，把她们变成家庭主妇的病。是社会病了，和一部分可恶的男人。
在一个堕胎犯法的大环境下，男方装死隐身，把怀孕的风险和痛苦完全转嫁给女方，全程看着非常焦虑窒息
看这部影片，一边对女孩的遭遇揪心，一边唾弃那些冷漠的旁观者。
三星半。钟孟宏完全进入了一个诚恳接受现实残酷、内心专注于家人的生命阶段。影片的精神内核和《阳光普照》一脉相承，只是剧本细腻度上参差错落较大。好在情绪所汇聚的力量足够强烈，随着剧情展开，渐入佳境。虽有短板，但整体效果仍可圈可点。贾静雯、王净、陈以文的表演非常出色，尤其是贾静雯，洗尽铅华后的自然感，太值得获得奖项表彰。倒是客串的明星有些过多，且并不是人人都很适合表演。
生育权和生命权，还是不要讲得那么社会化那么大，脱离那些道貌岸然的所谓层面，还是应该关注到个人生活的细枝末节上面来吧～

不如《四月三周两天》，女主角很难让人产生共情。窥私镜头太多，令人不适。

从德州到Roe v.Wade再到路易斯安那的IUD bill, it's happening all around.
代表着生命的数字不断累积，肚子里藏着不可说的秘密，面容上已是掩不住的焦虑。戛然而止的音符不时而起，随时提醒着这个危险世界处处需要警惕。直到红色的鲜血无法止息，突然转为急促强烈的震击，对准女主角的特写镜头外部，是同为女生惊慌失措的神色，是黑夜里城市闪过的痕迹。这是关于凝视的意义，「她」拥有「她」自己的身体。
共感传记电影。几处空间勾勒出了安妮艾诺当初的欲望和未来的轨迹；几组人物关系虽点到为止，但处理得绝无生硬。是近年看过最好的传记电影，如果传记片要革新的话，这不妨是一种有力的方式。
མངལ་ཆགས་དང་མི་ཆགས་ལ་རང་དབང་ཡོད་པའི་མི་ཚད། ང་ཚོས་ཁས་ལེན་མི་འདོད་ནའང་། མངལ་ཆགས་རྗེས་མངལ་ལས་ཤོར་དུ་འཇུག་མི་འཇུག་ལའང་རང་དབང་ཡོད་པ་ཁས་ལེན་དགོས།
很难不对比，跟432、nesa比起来有点太向内了，批判也就弱了很多，但又不是彻底的向内，有点失衡
我可以理解和接受她的忍痛割肉 每个女性都应该有处置自己和决定未来的权利
小景别，冷色调，疼痛展示，无男性凝视的女性裸露，导演在电影技法上做的很好，但相比起夏布洛尔的《女人韵事》还是觉得在主题研讨上略显单薄，在当今世界女性受到的歧视其实也是“正发生”，但没有达到更深层次的探讨
片中的裸露镜头有一半是多余的，甚至直接剪掉都不影响剧情。
片子一直对时间的强调让Anne就像陀所写到的等待被吊死的人，她的心理在大环境和小环境的不断挤压中不断被剥削，这种剥削也渗透到画面之外，产生极度窒息的观感。而后段直面的堕胎场面更能引发极端的生理不适，但这不是奇观，这是女人们所经历过的血淋淋的现实。
正发生，确实，这么多年过去了，这样的事还在发生。
结尾最不经意的一句:流产的判定，却成为全片最暖的一处。关于疼痛，触觉的电影
