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.
我觉得拍得挺好的啊不知道为啥评分这么低😂虽然实话实说，Ben Platt的脸真的演不了高中生了，甚至他只有27岁这件事都很难让人相信。不过说到演技唱功这些我觉得他表现一如既往的棒。个人认为的问题在于其他选角...我懂，电影版一定要明星来撑一撑的，但是Julianne Moore 最后唱So Big, So Small的时候我真的严重跳戏，还有她和Amy Adams同时出现时老让我以为自己在看The Woman in the Window...总的来说电影版依旧很好哭，音乐依旧棒，很喜欢结尾新加的那首A Little Closer
又是一部看完心情沉重的电影，没想到兜兜转转缘分这么深。。。
很普通很中规中矩一点儿意外跟惊喜也没有的平铺直叙。即便是看过无数日剧的我，也觉得有点看不下去。相信观众观看时都能够猜到真正的凶手是谁，毫无转折。
一个相当森村诚一的剧本，清原果耶的表演和桑田佳佑的片尾曲很加分。此时此地看这部真是太过有感触了

还没来得及看音乐剧，但是同为壁花少年本人真的有被电影感动到。可能很多人会觉得很矫情，但是男主很多情绪和举动我真的是感同身受，那种不知道如何“做自己”的迷茫，还有怕自己做得不好被嘲笑所以没有勇气面对生活的焦虑，还有依恋谎言带来的美好所以越来越深陷的无措。我们总是给be yourself加上太多的后缀，要自信、要独立、要坚强，但事实上没有人永远这么完美，你就是你，这样就很好了，看到最后真的好希望Conner真的是Evan的朋友。加上音乐感染力真的太强了，男主上台演讲那一段真的好好哭，摩尔阿姨的独唱把一个单亲妈妈的心事描述得太动人。选角真的有点别扭，男主的“丑”并不是问题，毕竟他设定就是一个不被待见重视的自卑男孩，但是他看上去真的好老…老到能做女主爸爸了…
电影版为了让在一个真实的房间里或者面对面唱歌不那么尴尬，加上了很多特写镜头，演唱时不得不把声音降低，情感无法很强烈地表达出来。不知道为什么电影院的杜比音效反而让有些歌听起来刺耳？像Disney+上的 Hamilton 或者 Apple TV+ 上的 Come From Away 直接拍官摄比较好。
“it can't possibly be that bad”——yes it VERY MUCH CAN
故事题材不错，气氛烘托也不错，就是节奏太慢，而且缺少高潮的点
那场地震把所以东西都改变了……简单的一句话 只有亲身经历过的才会懂
氛围不够，感情不够激烈，悬疑程度也不够，刚看不久就知道是小干杀的人
值得继续咀嚼深思
早期入坑音乐剧看的之一，Waving through a window 当年循环了很多很多遍。（到底什么时候可以去🇬🇧啊！
其实还蛮喜欢这类题材的所以多加一⭐，虽然导演莫名其妙的时间线穿插的很没水平，但是也不影响看。这个电影里的故事重点已经不是杀人命案了，而是发生在那三个人身上的故事和真挚的感情，电影可能时间有限，没有讲述太多他们凑在一起的因由，而男主在婆婆死后拿着燃烧瓶走大街上去放火感觉相当的尴尬，正常来说有个人手里拿着燃烧瓶分分钟就会被抓吧？
一部不错的电影，探讨了很多内容：灾难过后人们的伤痛 贫困 低保 罪案等，欣赏阿部宽演绎的警察，演员阵容不错。。。

宽街一票难求的剧电影版，歌入耳，情节不能细想，“抑郁焦虑”成了吃人血馒头的合理理由？Alana边唱着Anonymous one边上传letter这幕让我的颅内脏话飙到顶峰。所有角色都沉浸在一种自怜自艾之中，放在舞台上或许能让观众“共情”，放在大荧幕上叫伪善的极致
最喜欢的角色是那个黑人女生，她比主角还要有复杂度…总体而言，歌很好听！但是从舞台到银幕的转化目前看来有点尴尬，character song必须由各角色亲口唱出来，但这和电影的表达方式可能是冲突的，弄成mv+电视剧了。
一场地震改变了一切，脆弱的保障体系值得深思
宽松的、蒙太奇丰富的叙事；日式正能量、日式说教、日式原谅和感谢大法合在一起的结尾；加贺一样的阿部宽和后期稍稍有点过猛的佐藤健…差强人意吧。但结合自己现在经受的复杂的境遇，以及桑田佳祐的片尾曲，我愿意给8分。
