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.
后疫情时代
靠嘴说的太多了。 / 陈以文笑死我了。以及海报看多少次都能看成徐娇
这么天才的台词不知道谁想的。
隐喻塞得太满了，有好的也有很突兀的。前半段的铺陈非常不错，一切都很到位，在疫情大背景下当代人的精神生活，如果后面没有展开到女性地位上，会更好。要得太多，最终是要吃亏的。总的来说，比《阳光普照》好。3.5星。
老太太的裹脚布，又臭又长。请不起灯光师拍什么电影，电影院看首映体感极差，这玩意叫新蝙蝠侠？拍不出来蝙蝠侠所以你拍“新”蝙蝠侠是吧。三个小时，rnm，退钱！！！
中年被丈夫出轨抛弃、失业、精神失常，瀑布（the fall）本身就是跌落的意思。看了这个电影，突然希望有个女儿，女孩子的情谊在人生瀑布中，给人救赎。
轰轰烈烈的瀑布的美，是水的重力造就的；生活的美好，是肩头的重量成全的。
色彩、质感、氛围极好，故事头重脚轻，精彩场面不多，整体太冗长，不好打分，宁愿花三个小时让罗伯特·帕丁森 凹造型，也不好好把谜语人的形象多丰满一些，把编剧拖出来打五十大板吧。从诺兰接手的蝙蝠侠三部曲，到前两年的《小丑》，再到现在的《新蝙蝠侠》，DC的电影越来越像末法时代的暗黑寓言了，穷街陋巷，一派萧条，被侮辱和被损害的人觉醒起来，却被塑造成无恶不作的反派，等着有闲阶级的反省救赎、良心发现，是不是也太那个一厢情愿了呀……
下的英文配音，有点意外，还是喜欢台湾腔。主题明显，情节转折太生硬，摄影满分。生活就是洪水猛兽。
如果只当做一部超英电影，会觉得很平淡；如果当做侦探电影，又会感觉莫名其妙。。。鸡肋。
不如《阳光普照》，有缺点但是也是好看的~上半段当代人生活的崩塌，家人间的疏离和温暖表现的很好~但是瀑布声音有些生硬~全片贾静雯的表演太好了，非常细腻精准~呆滞，小心，挣扎向上展现的太好了~
对于也在经历the fall的中年人来说，影片几乎把我一年多以来内心的恐惧都表现出来了。五星是为了记住，要好好过下去。
哥谭市笨蛋雷锋蝙蝠侠，被一个没什么魅力的反派耍得团团转。不过电影的配乐摄影美术都挺好的，中间的打斗片段很有古典黑色电影的感觉，爽了一小会儿。

看时边百爪挠心边恐怖感，好像有被传递讯息但没理解什么。刘冠廷抓蛇和陈以文“你有没有考过驾照”最喜，哈哈

没想到是这么暗黑风格的蝙蝠侠，整体非常黑色电影风格，需要沉浸式进入，视听效果没得说，科特·柯本的《Something In The Way》听得鸡皮疙瘩都起了，多加一星给配乐！
那个叫王静的小姑娘是真的可啊。关于疾病与阶级跌落的问题还挺有意思的，口罩和大楼的蓝色罩子也挺对味的。不过后半程钟导的老班底纷纷出场，还有对我们与恶的距离贾静雯女强人身份的延续挺偷懒的。最后非要找个男朋友真挺恶心的。
恕我直言，再是华丽的视听，也架不住如此平庸的剧本持续三小时的连击。那个曾被诺兰驾到城邦正义十字路口的蝙蝠侠，在这个并不怎么高明的谜语人面前，除了伟光正之外，几乎和他身后那一大撮警察（编剧）同样的迟钝和愚蠢。
最后问我如何评价？ACAB!哥谭市早该淹淹了，谜语人早该做市长了，布鲁斯韦恩早该滚粗哥谭了!
