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.

看前面部分还在郁闷这类谈话文艺片怎么会被百度云盘和迅雷秒删，结尾虽说也没啥，但和前面比起来算变异了。
太好了
太好看了！讲欲望但毫不低俗 确实没什么好羞愧的，从肉体满足甚至能上升到人生哲学讨论 人人都应得到愉悦
很感动。在性面前，没有人是自信、完美的，尤其是一个年华不再的女人，她的不安和“边界”的消解都太真实了。奇妙的是，电影切入的是一个非常“男性”的叙事视角，是个“性转版救风尘”的俗套故事。但在性欲与价值的神秘张力下，通过极其琐碎具体的焦虑，凭着故事的价值观与演员的坚定与真诚，最终竟完成了最“女性化”的表达。并且把两人之间、两人与自己之间、两人与他们所面对的世界之间的关系讲的透彻明晰，蛮厉害的。
see people, pay respect, learn to be honest to yourself.
性愉悦应该列入社会保障体系！hearhear

四星半。机智不让人厌烦的对话，诚恳现实主义的拍摄手法。直视欲望，接受自己
啊 真没想到这电影居然能把我看哭 第三次会面把前两次理想状态拉回到现实 与人交往自身的丑恶 私欲展露无疑 却接着在结尾回归理想甚至更深一层 不过其实从一开始 leo的出现就是个理想哎 女性就是太容易自我反省 被动和主动自我压抑了 转性的话 可能只会是苦妓回忆录而不会good luck to you啦 最后感谢汤普森的优秀演出～
饮性欲之鸩，解孤独之渴。剧本写的有波兰斯基电影那调调，女主角色设计上无懈可击，对比之下其实男主角色的背景设计的略显符号化，正如片中所说像个性圣人。一个有意思的点：性满足是会让人觉得可以所向披靡。享受愉悦是很美妙的事情，性愉悦是上帝赐予每个普通人珍贵的礼物。但既然是欲望，私以为就和其他欲望没有太大区别，欲望是个深渊啊……
有种尺度更大一点牛郎版爱在系列电影的感觉，单纯的就两个角色，在很小的空间里发生一个简单的故事。如果电影故事没有用三次约会，而是用一次约会就深化所有的主题，这样会更厉害。当然让一个55岁的宗教学老师去一步一步面对自己的欲望，哪怕对方是小鲜肉也不会那么快就卸下所有的防备吧，但是还是觉得用三幕稍微有点普通。爱玛·汤普森也老了，但是片中她依旧魅力十足，最后一场戏对着自己的身体欣赏的戏份升华了主题，不要焦虑，不要焦虑，不要焦虑，要接受自己，哪怕是已经下垂的自己。而更应该在任何年纪都要正视自己的欲望，包括但不限于性的欲望、被爱的欲望，正是这些“杂念”重新定义了每一个人。
我从来不觉得用身体赚钱是什么丢人的事情，但是如果我用身体赚钱又羞于启齿，男主还是挺可口的。。。
从伦理道德上实在是无法接受本片的价值观。性自由、性解放怎么样都可以，但是我真的完全无法接受影视作品美化性买卖这件事，因为现实情况比这糟糕和难堪太多，这跟女性追求性自由完全不是一个纬度的事情，也不应该用女性追求性自由这个幌子来美化犯罪行为。另外，无法接受自己的孩子背着自己在外面从事卖春行业这回事，这部片子有让我感到不适。
编剧怎么这么会写。老妇丧偶后找鸭，希望达成人生中最棒的一次性体验。鸭鸭帅气、性感、温柔、深情、善解人意，老妇忍不住多点了几次服务。两个人除了协作满足老妇的愿望外，更多的是一种心理的疗愈。老妇不仅实现了自己冒险的目的，而且直面了自己的欲望，不再遮遮掩掩，也不再害羞。与此同时，鸭鸭也接受了自己，坦诚面对亲人的态度，不再为自己的职业羞愧。四次会面，循序渐进，在一切都变得完美之后，影片结束。没有多余的设计，只有精妙的台词。艾玛·汤普森又突破了自己。配乐非常好听，轻快又青春。
真好啊，直视身体，直视欲望，最后的高潮来得太妙。不被束缚的纯洁关系，比爱情有趣，是幻想也好，是假的也罢，谢谢你，温柔的Leo.
Emma在这部戏里面贡献了她的“灵与肉”，值得重看的一部电影，二刷要学习一下里面的高级词汇。#20220627
剧本写得挺好，大致循着“坦诚相见”的路数，从非常资本主义的购买fancy幻想，到撕破脸后更authentic的亲密关系，最后的reward就是“真”的orgasm（也是独立的）。细节扎实，跳舞时男主手搭在艾玛脖子上，艾玛的反应和后来的台词是呼应的，这种潜在的连接体现了关系中意识的流动性，然后是创造性，结尾扣回目标颇得曲径通幽之妙，适度的爱让人在亲密中展现尊严，在当下看，会数次分心想怎么不洗手，但或许我们正需要从界限处重新找回亲密感，那种梳毛对梳毛、耳语对耳语的亲密感。
四段见面，破碎的灵魂碰撞后慢慢修补，治愈后相忘于江湖，很美好~人人都想身边有个里奥吧！！！
