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.
好好的一个战争电影题材，最后硬是给拍成了漫威电影…
有私货啊，鼓吹卖淫合法化？什么叫没有妓女社会就会暴乱，现在印度不一样强奸女性，这和卖淫有什么逻辑关联吗？可以说甘古拜个人有格局，但这片整体基调不OK，卖淫合法化就是不！行！
徐克拍得战争片，总有一种舞台戏剧效果。志愿者英雄都是好样的！
大爽片！女主有天使爱美丽的感觉，好可爱的样子，和男主好甜，最后好爽，竟然是真事！！
其实通过开头小女孩的故事其实也是她经历的一个侧影，只是她们选择的结果不一样，一个宁愿放弃生命不愿在这个地方呆下去，但是甘古拜却在这里呆了下来，并且成为了这个地方的女帝
梅生死的时候难受死了，希望世界上没有战争。
精神可嘉，但我三觀不允许我接受這個職業的存在。而且事實證明賣淫合法化後並未阻止和降低印度性犯罪率，所以如果要杜絕女性被拐被強姦，就是把所有男人都阉割了（不能打麻药。
你觉得她不够进步，她并不在乎。她只会尽用手边的所有资源，能帮受苦受难的女性一把是一把。
一个大小姐被情人贩卖成妓女，最后依靠黑帮老大为妓女维权！印度女性过得很憋屈，在我们看的印度电影里屡见不鲜。挺同情。安排自己的心上人与妓女女儿结婚，质疑一下这样做的必要性。
这个演员赋予甘谷独特的魅力，虽然剧情很跳脱
“她在毫无尊严的地方给了女性尊严，教他们在笼子里自由呼吸”。
以男性的目光投向女性，又以男性的拍摄角度来塑造女性。在遭受苦难之后，甘没有走向黑色，而是身穿白色纱丽一往直前，在每段经历后变得更加具有力量，形象更加丰满。从对一个人说，再到对整个妓院，整个社区，整座城市甚至整个国家，发声让妓女们的权益得到维护，尊严得以拾回。尤其在最后两段讲话里，更是用过往的发声来争夺现时的权益，让缺失的声音响彻银幕内外。在月神的庇佑下，所有身着白色的人们在这一时刻实现了真正的平等。巴哈特的表演完美的实现了这一点。
很感人，那么多最可爱的人牺牲，打不死的吴京最后牺牲太英勇。另外，朝鲜军队不策应吗？孤军奋战可还行。
# 72 Berlinale 特别展映# 女性不需要被拯救，而是自救
相比于第一部更加紧凑和工整，一小时的时候开始水门桥，两小时的时候开始主演高光时刻，每一个人牺牲的时候都极富泪点，最近哭的呜呜的。想来电影里和冬奥会历史的映衬，一种微妙的情绪。想起士兵突击的钢七连，不抛弃不放弃，兰晓龙圆满了。
挺有意思的印度“女权”电影 之前完全不了解甘古拜的故事 其实看完依然觉得有些面目模糊 在极为突出她个人形象的同时 关于印度社会的历史背景却仿佛隐形了 造就一个可以通过掌控权力改变命运的icon 却丝毫不提改变背后的规则 那是否依然是在已经书写好的框架中被权力PUA…… 一些“御用女权代言人”既视感
前面两个小时，可以说拍的挺平淡无奇，但也比第一部拍的好很多，但最后20分钟，当他说出，我想恢复七年编制的时候和张涵予对那一片了无人烟的净土深深地鞠了一躬的时候还是被感动到了还是觉得自己很骄傲的，本来我觉得两个多小时的片子平淡无奇，但是因为有这些和吴京终于死了可以给到三星
中国人民之意志冠绝世界，中国军人之意志古今少有。
延续了歌舞片的逻辑、表现方法（主角年龄、反派反串）和转折方式，但歌舞被精简到了近乎于无（而且也大多以长镜头为主），于是叙事就显得有些别扭了。
看了之后还是感觉那么的热血沸腾，先烈们的悲壮被展现，艰苦却不后退，为了祖国，为了子孙后代，前进！
