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.
十元的妆造过猛了 比顾里的癌症造型还夸张 田中圭现在演这种老实好男人信手拈来 永野芽郁和田中圭 冈田健史和朝比奈彩都比同龄人官配更有感觉
剧情也就一贯的那样吧 话说好想度个假住个酒店什么的 该死的疫情
这一本原作的case就不如上一作，电影还做了一些简化。有些伏笔细节上也处理得比较马虎。不过一闪而过的塞尔达野炊还是让我笑了。
除了悬疑成分其他都过得去，虽然如此但是看着喜欢的明星还是忍不住加星。
比离谱的剧情更离谱的是原著小说还获奖了？？
日本真的很喜欢“无缘社会”题材啊，一是“无社缘”；二是“无血缘”；三是“无地缘”，一面总是给予满满元气，一面总是融汇淡淡感伤，是非常独特的物哀美学了。之前看是枝裕和的时候总有些缥缈之感，今天看接力棒感觉更戏剧化、极致化、情绪化。比较有意思的是双叙事线的同步编织，看到一半的时候我才反应过来“前世”和“今生”是交叉剪辑的，难怪总有很多相似点。其实比起十元是因病而走，我更乐意看到她是游戏人间的坏女人，一直是热烈的、灿烂的、色彩丰富的，但也正是因为她对养女无私的考虑，才真正升华了无血缘题材的高度吧（ps十元在毕业典礼时盈盈泪光真的演绎的太好了）。
意义不明的一场犯罪。这豪华的卡司阵容多少有些老龄化了。。。
我也太容易哭了！不过流转家庭可以衔接得自然一点，无中生爱怎么回事。想到很多没有接力到爱的孩子，这种电影美好到悬浮，反而令人忧心忡忡了。
如果人生真的如优子的经历一般那一定是一段跌宕起伏的经历，但是故事却拍得很平淡，故事的走向也基本都能猜到。不过有些情节的氛围渲染得很好，还是会让人投入，比如说毕业典礼。
只有这样请一群大咖来客串才可以不用靠咖位猜凶手吧哈哈哈，我当然只是为了看最后两分钟的俊男美女戏的…
实在是又臭又长，这卡司演绎一个这样的故事实在是让人尴尬。MASAMI真的是岁月不饶人啊！
冲着大家的演技给了三星，永野和十元很好看。
看看帅哥美女就好了，卡司强大，剧本就那样吧。话说日本真就全员鞠躬仙人吗？
不应该饿着肚子看这部片的。/我的泪都是为十元和小女孩流的。/咩酱稳定发挥，岡田健史全程一个表情😅。/女主角感情戏太潦草了吧，河边那场戏我白眼都翻上天了，这就确定关系了？！/能写出这种没有繁殖癌男的亲情故事真不知道是天真还是愚蠢。
其实从故事来说 比前一部感觉好看些 更完整。虽然 悬疑部分有点拉胯 但悬疑拉胯不就是东野的特征w。真是活久见 我居然get到了木拓和masami的CP感。
以及 非要把大活人女主当个棒子接力，难道是因为她没成年就结婚了吗
完全是被阵容吸引的
劇情裡面的每一個男人都很莫名。石原里美來當我的繼母吧，我好愛嗚嗚嗚
跟那么弱的推理剧情相比，还是大神和masami的CP更深得我心。木村真的是越老越帅
很多叙事上的巧思真的不错啊。那个樱花镜头，一开始以为是空镜，后面再次出现就多了反转的含义。果然还是日本擅长温暖治愈系。
