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.

慎重观看，体验极其糟糕，心理上极其不适……都2022年了柯南伯格还拍这样的片子，你说有深度吧，确实有，但也没深到哪去……
有理由相信柯南伯格的脑回路里也有纹身，不然怎么解释老人家快80岁还能信手拈来地玩body horror？可惜我只看到了sex，没有看到vice，导演对身体和仪器的热衷远远超过对情节的铺陈，因此电影只剩下了一场接一场的手术表演。尽管全体主创对前现代的世界观是坚定的，但一种坐在早餐椅上的如鲠在喉的观感挥之不去。另外，对小K那种气若游丝式的演技真的无福消受。
至少是个完整的故事，网大都在努力了，院线却在摆烂，魔幻逻辑。
偏题严重哇，表面上故事很完整，但总觉得很奇怪，支离破碎的
用我的内里贴紧你 是亲吻的延伸；所有的自我切割仍是渴求关联 - 虽然我更想念从前执着毁灭的柯南伯格 但或许人类终究还是在等一束圣光：独属老年柯南伯格的天真
痛觉丧失，器官增殖；身体艺术导向身体政治，由摘除展示到主体性构建；官僚体系化注册监管，将超常之物置换为亵渎之物；睡眠/消化辅助装置消费资本主义corporation与corpse同一词根，将人类自主进化的所有可能修正回尸体；自然的非自然遗传造物，终能消化纯人工造物……感觉看到八十年代的柯南伯格回魂，有点感动
皆为人为
值得三星半。故事的叙事结构，怪谈氛围营造都处理得不错。探讨人心尽显嘲讽意味。村子的居民白吃着谢家的米不知感恩反而满是罪恶丑脸，善良的孩子长大后尽为自己利益大开杀戒。难道和谐美好的世界只能在梦中相遇，哦，不对，瞎子看不见现实世界的丑恶。
再一次将身体置于概念中心，柯南伯格大胆构想并呈现了一则混沌寓言，意在通往多个维度的繁复思辨。借由角色之口，柯南伯格一点点地描述着创作的理念和愿景，同时亦保持了清醒的自反头脑。而这样一个高概念未来世界的建构，不仅赋予他更多空间以插入个人观点（如将对身体的入侵改造与性作紧密联系），也让他得以深入探讨人类进化的方向与伦理等一系列问题。政府与资本的暗中操控，作为一层尖锐的现实元素，潜伏许久后猝然显露，于是艺术家的最终选择，反抗派的可能去向，都成为了耐人寻味之处。
当我看到他们坐船跑了的时候我想给三颗星，内心纠结三颗半，内心想着真狐仙天收结果当看到张什么没死我想给四颗星了，在然后看到这仅仅是一个没人信的故事我肯定得我的四星，结果画面一转我心里那个难受啊你还真是个故事，三星，就三星吧。毕竟一开始的吊儿郎当演的确实不行，这个武力值的分配也挺迷惑，最后那个镜头我觉得……嗯，虽说有点不太好，但真的像整的……还有互相残杀的地方太突兀，本身故事就是一个亮点，没必要插进来一个你能活我不能活的事儿，直接全杀了比较直接。
故事内核不错 前半段的分段式故事显得割裂 时运如此 都不容易
柯南伯格有怨气呀！绝望无极限，欲望也是。它可以驱使人创造新的技法——“穿过皮囊爱死你”，也可以成为挑战社会秩序的基石，怎么畸变怎么来。文艺的心还能在类型片框架下完整叙述，还不错。
在特殊的地方拍特殊的电影还真是难为编剧了，又想有妖有鬼又不能有，非得有个很高的立意，平白无故给观众讲人家已经烂熟的道理，这类电影没法评分，因为你知道导演只能拍到这份上，他身上的镣铐得有好几千万吨吧，如果不幸的话，这些镣铐回头在地里腐烂都得用上千年！
前面惊悚的部分还挺好 后面哪有狐仙 讲人性 一个国产片 我竟然脸盲了 太多角色 也没有交代
观影门槛太高，是我自不量力。但愚钝如我也能看出，柯南伯格也许是位伟大的导演，但肯定不是一个合格的科幻作家。
可以说保持了柯南伯格的一贯水准，而且摄影布光好精致啊。对人类自身的思考，虽然算不得多么新的命题，但也绝不是陈词滥调，在这样一个都往“元宇宙”看的时代看到这样的题材还是很质朴很踏实地想讨论些事的。疼痛不再，器官增生，人类的演化造成了一部分人的觉醒、一部分人的不安。新的性也是有一定想象力的。而且呈现得也很有趣，先锋艺术的浮夸玄虚成了片中非常正经的探讨方式，内部纹身、切割、满身耳朵都是挺有艺术家思维的。台词再少一点或者再精准一点可能对于普通观众理解起来更友好一些，现在强加了太多自创的概念了。未来警察连吃喝都要管，只能说“关你屁事”。
虽然受限不能有鬼，但是叙事逻辑还是可以的，多视角讲故事还是有用过心的。想看狐狸大仙！希望狐狸最后还是出来一下的。3.5分可以有。
没想到第一部戛纳居然是柯南伯格，虽然有些镜头让我恶心半天，有些却美的令人窒息，难以想象，这样主题下的画面居然也是美的
